Red Sox (Suarez) vs Rays (Seymour): 9/18/26, 7:10pm

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's Miller's 3rd straight bad performance. 

Weissert gets no respect, but gets the job done.

Weissert is better than most team's 5-6th RP'er and maybe better than some 3's and 4's.

(Note: most pens are 8-9 in number.)

We need to fill the 60 day IL quota with someone: better him than Crochet, Houck, Crawford, Oviedo and some others.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kevin Cash is a class act and arguably the best manager in MLB.

[moonslav59]

Speaking of the last 30 days and Weissert being maybe our #5-6 guy...

5 RP'ers (Chapman, Whitlock, Gamboa, Olds and Weissert)

With this teams injury history filling the 60 day IL quota will present no problem.

2.70 Suarez

2.74 Tolle

Let Slaton fill one slot, so another can stay healthy.

Good chance they’ll all be gone in 27

[moonslav59]

There is a chance the AL East ends up with 5 of the top 7 (Maybe 6) American League winning percentages.

TBR, NYY & BOS looks like the top 3.

79-75 CLE

78-75 CWS (losing 11-8 in 8th)

77-76 HOU (losing 4-2 in 8th)

76-77 TEX (Winning 6-1)

76-77 TOR (losing 6-1)

75-78 BAL (tied in 10th)

Why?

3.03 FIP, 4.88 K/BB, 3 of 16 inherited runners scored. 
 

Doubtful the Sox can find 8 better relief pitchers…

Not to mention that he's been one of our best RPs over the past 2+ months.  13/3 K/W in 11.1 IPs, -0- HRs, and a 1.59/1.60 ERA FIP.  We need 8 RPs like this.
