Pivetta may actually be one of those “they saw something” guys with all his slider use. Still, he needs to sharpen up his fastball control to nake the last step. Impressive though.

How is the likely alternative doing so far? 0-11 with 0 BB. Back off, boys. Itâs too early to step off the ledge. Haha. Indeed. But I'm on the record since before the start of the season saying Kiké shouldn't lead off against righties; it's not a reactive thing. I'd still want Mr. 0-11 to have the job. Not to worry. Kikay is working on the golden sombrero.

Say what you want about the start of the season. Four games in and the Red Sox have had three entirely effective starting pitchers. Nobody named Chris or Eduardo has even thrown a pitch. Silver linings abound if you try to find em.

He was definitely getting away with some hangers that inning but I'll take this outcome for his first start.

Early observation: I would not sleep on the Orioles finishing ahead of the Rays. This Rays lineup is... well... they better set ERA records.

All things considered that was a great outing/result from Pivetta. Hopefully that gives him some confidence as he finds his command

Maybe the deadened ball is showing here, a lot of fly balls to left field have just died at the warning track.

I’m not Jomboy level lip reading, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Verdugo was just talking with Cora and Hyers about that exact thing when they showed the three of them talking in the dugout.
