We’re two weeks into the season and Nick Pivetta is already boosting my credibility. While I don’t know how long this may last, I’m comfortable saying that I’d rather have Pivetta than probably u2157 of the current Red Sox rotation.
As we all withered away watching another Sean Newcomb roller coaster, Pivetta gave his second start of the season in which he threw at least seven innings and allowed no runs against Colorado. Are the Rockies bad? Yes. Did the Rockies get blanked over an entire weekend series? Also yes. Did Nick Pivetta deliver only the second-best start of this series?
