Pivetta can be irritating at times when he loses his command, but overall, man, I like him. It feels like the biggest difference between him and Richards is how much of a bulldog Pivetta is with his fastball. He’ll just say f’ it: hit this if you can. Love it.

If they have Pivetta and Seabold in the rotation next year, and if those two are even ok… holy cow. It might not *quite* be ‘Tek, but in that category.

More of a command/pitchability guy than Pivetta is is more stuff-forward but lacks command. At the time of the trade, pretty much everyone was higher on Seabold but now that’s very debatable IMO. Either way, a ton of team control over a couple valuable pieces.

Come on Pivetta. Prove that you can go six.

Longtime reader since the Moss/Alvarez days, really appreciate the community here! Looking at the lineup today with Dalbec and Duran (both Dombrowski draft picks) made me wonder if both Dombrowski and Bloom were/are pretty solid at drafting/building the farm, and it was really Cherington’s drafts (2012-2015) that left our farm barren. Really only produced a few solid bullpen arms plus Benintendi/Kopech and not much else (Travis and Chavis). I don’t want to disrupt today’s gameday thread, just thought today’s lineup highlighted each GM’s contributions.

Gotta find room in the lineup for Bobby...
EDIT: Never doubted him.
P.P.S.: Please don't check that...

Ahhh....if only the Sox could play the Orioles every night. Still nice to see them capitalize.

He can hit the AAA pitching by now(I think). Not sure beyond that.

Richards in for the 3-inning save. LFG.

My thinking on seeing Richards in:
On the one hand, it is the Orioles. On the other hand, it is only 6 runs.

Richards's fastball should play up in shorter stints. Was an effective reliever last year.
