    Josh Taylor's last 5 appearances: 2.1 IP, 14TBF, 4H, 3BB, 1K, 2ER, 3.04WHIP, 7.71 ERA

    @SoxProspects Another 2021 draftee is headed to Low-A, as 1B Niko Kavadas (11th rd out of @NDBaseball) has been added to Salem's roster. He was 5-for-21 with 2 2B and 1 HR, with 7 BB in a short stay in Fort Myers in the FCL.

    The problem with Robles: 1. bottom 3% in barrels 2. bottom 4% in exit velo 3. bottom 1% in hard hit 4. he has a tendency to tee up his 4 seamer and his changeup 5. his best pitch per advanced metrics is his slider, but he hasn't used it much this year and it only functions well because he barely uses it On the brighter side: 1. aside from his back to back meltdown on 8/5 and 8/6, he's gone 8 IP, 0ER, 5H, 7BB, 11K 2. his fastball velo is 92nd percentile

    I don't think they even need to phantom DL him. They had Valdez on this roster for a long time and barely used him. Just do that with Barnes.

    Don't discount Kutter Crawford. He's pitched very well this year and will be put on the 40 man this offseason. Not sure if they try to keep him as a long man or stick him in a short relief role. Not sure he'd be better than a 5th starter, but he couldn't be worse than Perez. Murphy gives up too many hr's and is probably destined for the pen if he can't fix it. Bello is far away. Winckowski and Seabold could provide something next year. Ward is out with TJS. Groome is still far away, but at least he's been healthy this year (if he pitches well in AA next year, maybe we see him as part of the rotation in 23). There's definitely some more interesting guys than we've had recently. You didn't mention Feltman, someone who has gotten a lot of press previously and now is under the radar. After giving up 3 ER in his first AAA appearance, he's gone 9.3 innings in his last 7 appearances and has only given up 1 ER, 4H, 10K, 2BB. He'll probably have a legitimate shot to be on the Opening Day roster next season.

    Without a bullpen, this is a team that could still win a few games in the regular season. Anything can happen in a one game Wild Card. Once they get into the playoffs, they'd get smoked though.

    I'm here for the softball league Red Sox. Don Baylor would be a great fit on this team.

    162 games is too many games. Make the season 150 with more days off.

    Queue the annoying poster: But Old Hoss Radbourn averaged 412 innings per year, Barnes can't even throw a fifth of that and gets paid millions to play a kids game! Radbourn's 1884 season: 9.5 fWAR, 678.2 Innings, 59-12,75 G, 73 GS, 73 CG, 1 SV, 441K, 98BB, 1.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 48 ERA-

    Pivetta vs Ober Ober is better than Jax, last night's starter. 2.81 ERA over his last 5 starts, 24K and 4BB. Twins best shot at not getting swept.
  11. mvp 78
    I hate to say it, but he can't be worse than Barnes right now. I think Barnes should be given a rest and only thrown out there in low leverage situations.
  12. mvp 78
    Because of last year's shortened season, there's been an assumption that more pitchers would break down this year (seems to have happened) and that some would run out of gas early (maybe happening with Barnes). Just because you don't think he should be tired, doesn't mean he's NOT tired.
  13. mvp 78
    Shaw shoulda just retired, right guys?
  14. mvp 78
    Also, I believe Duran will have to go down for 10 days. Not sure if he's eligible to return on September 1.
  15. mvp 78
    Yes, if A = 3. Now, if that's the case, Barnes could have to face 54 A players at some point. Then he'd have to get 18 outs to get through 1 inning.
  16. mvp 78
    Interesting when noting that moon stated Barnes needed to get 6 outs!
  17. mvp 78
    Dalbec hits better than Duran right now. Fields better than him too. Seems like they are going to keep Schwarber in LF for the most part going forward.

    Duran optioned back to AAA.
  20. mvp 78
    Just missed it. @RedSox The #RedSox today recalled RHP Tanner Houck from Triple-A Worcester. To make room for Houck on the active roster, the club optioned OF Jarren Duran to Worcester.
  21. mvp 78
    Sox haven't posted lineup yet. No word on corresponding move for having Houck start.
  22. mvp 78
    Nope, that's an A^4 lineup. Texas was running a 2A^2 lineup. Basically, they were combining two AA squads and forming a lineup to defeat the Red Sox.
  23. mvp 78
    Running him out for a multiple inning stint is fine. I agree, Richards can't be thrown out there in the 9th.
  24. mvp 78
    Speier is reporting today that Barnes' issues are due to locating his fastball. Barnes has said that he's leaving it out over the middle too much.
