About this episode

Red Soxs Pitching Depth Crisis: Eduardo Riveras Debut Amidst Offensive Slump

The Boston Red Sox are in a dire situation, with their pitching depth at an all-time low. Theyve been forced to call up 22-year-old lefty Eduardo Rivera from double-A for tonights game at Fenway, making him their 33rd ranked prospect and the fifth Sox pitcher debuting this season. Rivera has shown promise in his two starts down below, but the teams offense is struggling, unable to score a run against a pitcher with an ERA above seven. The Red Soxs early season numbers are rough across the board, and with Kutter Crawford sidelined again, the teams chances of competing in the summer grind look bleak.

Red Sox is scraping the bottom of the barrel for pitching, calling up 22-year-old Lefty Eduardo Rivera from AA for tonight's game ad. Fenway. He's their 33rd ranked prospect, never thrown a single major league inning, but crushed it in two starts down below. This makes him the fifth Sox pitcher debuting this season already. Fading depth took another hit with Cutter Crawford shut down again after an elbow MRI last week. No structural damage showed up, but he sideline once more, leaving Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow with few options. Fans are fuming over the offense, though, which couldn't score a run last night against the pitcher sporting an ERA above seven. Early season numbers look rough across the board for Boston's bats. That limp attacks things extra hard facing the Yankees, who stacked a line up with the exact power of the Sox Crave, but can't find. Rivera's arrival might patch one whole short term, but until the bats wake up, these
