FINALLY!

 

I think this is worthy of its own thread.

Looks like the lefty RP'er, Joely Rodriguez, will get the call.

 

That may mean bleier's days are numbered.

As one who has been calling for a Brasier DFA for 4 years, I’m not holding my breath on a Bleier DFA…

Will this be the 13 man staff at some point in May?

 

Sale, Bello, Paxton, Houck, Whitlock, Kluber, Pivetta

Jansen, Martin, Schreiber, Winckowski, Crawford, Joely

 

No: Brasier (DFA.trade), Bleier (DFA/trade)and Bernardino (AAA)

They may wait to see how lefty Joely does.

Let's not forget Brasier's moments of glory:

 

Brasier posted a 1.60 ERA over 33 2/3 regular-season innings in 2018 and then a 1.04 ERA in 8 1/3 postseason innings to help the Sox win the title.

I know it was deserved as he sucked for quite some time...BUT..read his comments. Im actually surprised/impressed at how eloquently he came across. He truly enjoyed the ride as a JAG in MLB & is still probably almost set for life financially. never forget him yelling at Sanchez..he wont either. Thanks for 2018 Brasier.

He got to live his dream and was probably more successful than he thought he would be. But it’s time to move on…

It must be nice to have a pretty long stretch of good pitching and a ring that you feel you helped a team win. That is more than most baseball players can say.

 

I wish him luck, going forward, but yes, his time was up- IMO, long ago.

This is a good point, as much as I’ve wanted him gone and I’m glad it happened, I’ll always remember his 2018 season.

He literally looked like a guy they grabbed off the street- an everyday, working class kinda guy.

 

He had his brief moment of fame, well maybe not real brief, but like most mortals, he came back down to earth with the rest of us plebians.

It's like your unsavory old uncle. Nobody liked him, but then he died and everyone had something nice to say about him.

We had 9 uncles and we liked them all while they were alive.

I'm not sure if we'd have even one more win had we not had Brasier or Bleier, but I want to think we would have several more.
