Lots of Questions Surround Today's SPs
Clay Buchholz versus Masahiro Tanaka. Lots of questions surround both starting pitchers. Can Buck duplicate his great opening day performance & prove he is back to his 2013 form? If so, maybe he can become a legit #1 starter for this staff. It's still early, but 2 good outings in a row would certainly quiet the critics. On the other side, can Tanaka & his fragile right arm comeback from a poor opening day showing of only 4 innings? On MLB Pedro Martinez said he thinks Tanaka is at 65% health & it's difficult to throw when you are injured. If Tanaka is only a figment of his 2014 form, the Yankees are in for a long, long season. So lots to prove for both pitchers. Pressure is off Buck since the Sox already won this series with 2 wins on the Friday night / Saturday morning marathon & Saturday afternoon. More pressure on the Yankees & Tanaka who are tring to save face by not getting swept at home & starting the new season 1-5. A sweep would be great!
