Imagine if Chris Sale and David Price each had the best years of their re

spective careers in the same season."As Matt noted on Tuesday http://www.dodgersfanproshop.com/authentic-max-muncy-jersey , there shouldn’t be too much concern about what the starting rotation for the Boston Red Sox could be capable of in 2019. From top to bottom, the Red Sox possess what could be one of the top rotations in baseball — something that seemed almost unfathomable as recently as three or four years ago.Once again, the rotation will be led by a pair of star-level lefties in Chris Sale and David Price. On paper, that’s as good of a 1-2 punch as you could ask for. And yet, while both Sale and Price have looked very, very good — sometimes very, very phenomenal — on individual occasions, they have yet to have a full season together in which they consistently show pure domination at the top of the rotation from the beginning of the year to the end.Much of that has to do with Price’s tendency to be an up-and-down pitcher (especially in the playoffs), with particular ineffectiveness against the Yankees, as well as Sale’s tendency to wear down late in seasons. During each of their seasons in Boston, both guys have faced their fair share of demons in those respective departments that have at times overshadowed their greatness http://www.angelsfanproshop.com/authentic-zack-cozart-jersey , fair or not.But that doesn’t change the fact that Price is a former American League Cy Young winner while Sale is a perennial Cy Young candidate, easily a top three or four starter in the game. Last year, Sale and Price went a combined 28-11 with respective ERAs of 2.11 and 3.25. They also capped off the season by winning their first World Series championship, with Sale recording the final three outs at Dodger Stadium and Price pitching seven innings in the clinching Game 5, finally ousting his postseason woes over the course of October.Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty ImagesIf nothing else, both pitchers should be soaring into 2019 with plenty of confidence. And when these two guys are confident, they can be darn near unbeatable.Does that mean they are going to be consistently unbeatable for the entire 2019 season? Definitely not. Even though they were tremendous in October, and for much of the 2018 campaign, they aren’t perfect. Price will still have his ups and downs. Sale’s shoulder might start misbehaving at some point, most likely in August or September if history is any indication. They’ll give us plenty of reasons to cheer, but there will also be flaws. There always are.That said Chris Young Jersey , there is the potential that, for one season, both Sale and Price could have something resembling peak seasons of their careers — and they could maintain that dominance on a fairly consistent basis for six straight months. Boston’s rotation would then be rounded out by former Cy Young winner Rick Porcello, postseason hero Nathan Eovaldi, and a youngster with sky high potential in Eduardo Rodriguez. Heck, the Red Sox might just surpass their franchise record of 108 wins that they set last year.Alright, that last bit might be a bit of a stretch. But it’s a pretty exciting thought, isn’t it? That’s what spring is all about, after all. The Orioles were probably supposed to lose, and they lost. At least it wasn’t a laugher."After a series of early-season skirmishes with underachieving losers like the Yankees and Red Sox, the Orioles got a taste of what it’s like to play a first place team when they tangled with the Rays on Tuesday night. The O’s lost Cam Bedrosian Jersey , 4-2, in a game where they did not have a baserunner after the fourth inning. That is a tough way to win.There is little consolation in the fact that the Orioles lost when they were supposed to lose this game. They went up against a Rays starting pitcher, Tyler Glasnow, who over his first three starts had allowed a grand total of one run. of the eighth. A reliever giving up two hits and a walk in one inning is seldom good news. Castro has been so poor to start the season that even allowing a run in an inning lowered his ERA from 9.35 to 9.31. I don’t know if we can call it progress.For anyone who takes it as a given that the 2019 Orioles are not and will not be a good baseball team, a loss like this is the kind of thing that will still manage to separate this year from last. Tuesday night, the Orioles just... lost. They were not an embarrassment. They did not manage to strike out 15 times while facing a series of scrub pitchers. They did not suffer a sequence of their own crummy pitchers allowing the other team to march around the bases like the Gashouse Gorillas. There was not a seemingly endless stream of ground balls and line drives perpetually two steps out of reach of players who both moved and fielded like they were made of stone. The Rays were just better than the Orioles, which everyone already knew before this game was played. They will still be better than the O’s are tomorrow and the next day too, although not so much better that there’s no hope for the O’s of winning either game. Something weird could happen. It almost happened here. Bundy was two bad pitches away from triumphing over Glasnow in this contest.David Hess takes the mound for the Orioles as the series continues on Wednesday evening at 7:10, looking to continue a solid beginning of his season. The Rays have not yet announced a starter for the game.
