Rays throwing two ex-Sox at us. I don’t regret Beeks for Eovaldi, but credit them for getting Beeks and Springs off us for not too much. Lol, I would not group Beeks for Eovaldi and Springs/Mazza for Hernández/Sogard together like they're comparable. Former they did a good job getting a good piece for a MLB difference maker. The latter they picked the Red Sox' pocket.

Rule changes are awesome. I love the new pace. I mean, like, it is a different game. Get the ball, throw the ball.

Pivetta has a good curve, but I feel like when he hangs one, it is especially meatball-y.

One does not get the sense that the Sox batters are as well prepared for these plate appearances as the Rays pitchers.

Nick Pivetta shows flashes of being a damn good pitcher if he can ever find consistency. But even having those flashes every now and then makes him a very good 5th starter. He belongs in the rotation.

I don't understand how Beeks gets results. He's basically 50/50 fastball change with a 4-5 mph differential between them, and not particularly impressive movement or spin. Decent velocity, but not overpowering either. He also looked terrible to me in Boston, albeit with a much worse heater back then.
Springs looked good to me while on the Sox in spite of the results, but I'm still surprised he's done as well as he has in Tampa. His stuff is pretty mediocre on paper and hasn't jumped like Beeks' while in Tampa either.

Hernandez is such a bad lead off hitter.
Honestly 2021 made people think he is something that he isn’t close To at the plate

It is crazy to think about the runs the Sox have scored this season, then realize that now without Duvall, they have 5 starters batting .200 or below.

Nice comeback there. Can’t be giving Bethancourt a free pass
Pitching duel is a breath of fresh air and the pace of it has been great
