Pitching will be the saving grace or death blow to the Red Sox this upcoming season. Over the last two years, we’ve seen go both routes to mixed results. In 2018, the pitching was unhittable and Boston cruised to another World Series crown. While in 2019, it felt like our pitching staff couldn’t stop a gang of Little Leaguers from hitting moonshots.
I won’t try to pull the wool over your eyes and tell you that everything is all rainbows and sunshine because it isn’t. Boston is without two veteran starters in David Price and Rick Porcello as they march towards Opening Day.
