Something tells me The Nation is going to like new Red Sox pitching coach Bob McClure. In an
interview on WEEI's "The Big Show", McClure laid out his pitching philosophy: "Kick ass and win". Pithy. He went on to suggest that stretching out Daniel Bard and Alfredo Aceves as starters will benefit them no matter where they end up in 2012. It gives us a little more comfort that two strong personalities reside in the new dugout—Valentine and McClure. Now they need to push to get the holes filled that still (glaringly) exist on the pitching side.
