After a successful 2 out of 3 wins in Philly this weekend the Sox have a day off on Monday. You know what that means -- more Dice-K talk on the sport shows.
John Smoltz is ready to join the Sox rotation. Of the 5 starters, Dice-K has had the worst of it since coming off the DL. Do the Sox drop the Dice-man back onto the DL & add Smoltz? Here's my thoughts.
If you have ever pitched at any level, you know how hard it is to start a game, then wait 90 minutes & get yourself ready to go again. The first inning in Philly went well for Dice-K. 3 up, 3 down. After the rain delay things were not so good. I attribute that more to the rain delay.
I continue to be a proponent of the 6-man rotation in this next stretch of only 2 off days over the next 25 games. It will give Red Sox management more time to evaluate Dice-K, evaluate Smoltz & see if there is a sweetheart deal out there for Brad Penny. I advocate patience.
