Hell yeah.

And I doubt either is throwing at max velo so early in camp so we have room for improvement even.

Pitching will be fun this year.

Bachman looks nasty. He and Joyce can be our Frankie/Lackey rookie duo.

Wayne / Gubi is awesome. Zero reason they need to mess with this.

I watched a few Mets games over the winter, I really like Wayne. He knows his stuff.

And Gubi is wonderful as always.

He lacks Victor’s Golden Sarcasm but he’s definitely good.

Outside the technical difficulties in the broadcast, I agree they sound good, sound like been together for a long time.

New guy just said he throws so hard he breaks his belt buckle….that might be indicative of more than just throwing high heat….if you know what I’m saying..

I realize the Sox have a very weak lineup today, maybe a split squad, but I’m expecting Detmers to take another step up this year

Not sure we saw their best pitchers today but they had a lot of position player regulars in the lineup.

Quero seems to do a good job framing. Too bad he wont be able to fool the machine in a couple of years.

If Redon and Renfroe are going to be batting back to back this season—and mashing like that—then this may be the year of:

Ren-don-froe.
