They previously had him and he was planned to come back around this time. We thought he'd be taking over for an injured ERod/Eovaldi or for struggling Perez/Richards. They needed to add more than just say "let's go with what we already have in our organization's pipeline."
Rather than just call up Josiah Gray, the Dodgers brought in new talent. That's how you bolster the roster.
Jay Groome (SP; W): 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 4 K (81 pitches)
Nick Yorke, 2B: 3-4, 1 3B, 3 R (891 OPS overall)
Luis Ravelo 936 OPS in AUG (IFA last year)
Miguel Bleis 956 OPS overal

Scheduling nugget that might make you feel better about Red Sox playoff chances. Of their last 39 games starting Friday, 23 are against sub .500 teams. In their most recent 39-game stretch which ends tonight, 30 were against teams over .500. 9 were against sub. 500 teams.
Who wants to end the season losing a WC game though?
@alexspeier
Alex Cora says that game reports on Ryan Brasier suggest similar fastball/slider pitch data to last year - despite poor results (8R in 3G). ‘He’s getting close to joining the team.’

You heard it here (on TS) first. These dum dums just follow us.
That Sox lineup!
Bragg
Frye
Valentin
Mo
Jefferson
O'Leary
Naehring
Greenwell
Only mistake was starting Haselman over Stanley.
Any Rudy Pemberton game is a win in my book.
Saying "he's bad over the last two months" only makes sense because of how August skews the numbers. Phantom DL. Call up Ort. Call up anyone. Throw s*** at the wall.
