The Red Sox promised all offseason improving the starting pitching was a priority in the Craig Breslow era and insisted the team could take steps forward with an overhaul of the organization’s approach to pitching.,
Through four games of the 2024 season, Breslow and company have lived up to their word.
There’s obviously a long, long way to go, but the most pleasant surprise of the young Red Sox season has been the performance of Boston’s starting rotation. The Red Sox split a four-game set in Seattle to open the campaign, a split that certainly could have been a series win if not for the offense being blanked 1-0 on Friday night.
Red Sox starters were downright dominant through four games in the Pacific Northwest. As Red Sox media relations director J.P. Long pointed out Sunday night, this sort of start has been extremely rare over the long history of the club.
