In full disclosure, I was looking forward to tonight’s game a lot. Not because I particularly like watching Andrew Triggs pitch, or because I felt like it would be a fun game, but because it afforded us a rare opportunity to see how Robbie Ray would pitch at Fenway Park.
This is notable, because Ray is a free agent at the end of the season, and the Red Sox have a dire need for starting pitching, especially beyond the top 3 in the rotation. With how poorly Ray has been performing, it could be a great stealth pick up by Chaim Bloom, if he feels that Ray only needs minor tweaking.
