    Deserving of its thread imo.

    Love the test for him. However I predict wild assumptions after his start. Myself included.

    It'll be an interested test for him. I hope he comes out on top! I'd guess 5.2 IP, 4 ER, 2 BB, 7 Ks. Something along those lines.

    Touki could struggle, but I think I'd be even more pessimistic with Thermocomb trying to navigate his way through the Red Sox, in the sun, with it feeling at least low 90s and humidity making it even more miserable.

    I mean your choices are going to be kids here or hope that Thermocomb steps up in a day game when it's been hotter than hell (seemingly even worse than what we saw in July) the past few weeks.

    Edit: Although I have said that the better idea probably would've been to tell the veteran, Teheran to get ready to go against Boston again and have Touki start today. But since he did so well vs the Pirates, I think they're hoping for a repeat start like that.

    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Here’s the quote: “We’re now 4-3 in our last 7 games. I think we can hang with the Red Sox. If you had asked me two days ago, I might’ve had a different answer. But, as things stand now, I’m pretty confident.”

    I don't remember the exact quote, because Kelsey wingert was relaying the information during the game. But he basically said 'they put on their pants one leg at a time just like we do. They're very good team, but so are we..... We will see what happens.'

    He basically said they are a very good team but they lace up their cleats just like we do and he can't wait to face them. *Paraphrasing here* Kelsey had the report during the game.

    Ah. So basically they lace their cleats up before their pants so they are probably beatable. Thanks guys.
