IIRC, the final score was 2-4 for Boston. Santos came in with the score 2-1 and he blew it. I was there and it was such a brutal let down. Santos blew his first 2 save ops. He blew that 2nd game in Cleveland, and then he blew the home opener.
You guys are all reading into this way too much... Only reason Morrow is pitching 5th is so that he will start the home opener.
This does not mean that the org thinks that Hutch is a #2. This only means that AA doesn't want Hutch or Redmond/Happ/Rogers starting the home opener.
Wow if that's true... I can't believe he said that. What an idiot. He admits he can't hit a target anymore, yet he thinks he deserves to pitch in the majors? What a fool.
Stroman starting the home opener is a recipe for disaster. That is WAY too much pressure to put on the guy for his FIRST mlb start against the powerhouse yankee lineup. Just a really bad idea and I hope it doesn't happen.
