    Red Sox World Series Champion Saw Potential In Andrew Bailey

    Bailey reinforced his own values with Red Sox arms, from throwing their best stuff on a more consistent basis to challenging hitters in the zone. Boston's pitchers continue to embrace his philosophies, working deeper into games and giving the Red Sox a chance to win. The Red Sox got quite the find in their pitching coach, who knows what it takes to perform in Boston after taking the mound for the ballclub in 2012 and 2013.

    MLB Notebook: Early success by Red Sox pitchers a credit to Andrew Bailey

    It's far too soon to suggest that the Red Sox will continue to maintain their current 1.54 ERA, or even that every start from here on out will continue to be five innings in length or more. Not only is seven games a ridiculously small sample size, but the Oakland A's barely qualify as major league-caliber, and each of the first two series have been played in ballparks that are notoriously favorable for pitchers. Admittedly, this is not a high bar to clear: Lucas Giolito is lost for the year with a surgically-repaired elbow, and it's hard to imagine either Cooper Criswell or Chase Anderson eclipsing Bailey for impact.
