Assuming Nunez, Leon and Vazquez are both on the roster, which other 2 positional players would you add to the postseason roster? Pick what players you would want rather than what players Farrell wants. Please pick 2. -
Lots of bj's on the UConn campus tonight!
-
And if Sale ends up getting rocked in the playoffs it's due to "LOL playoffs are random" rather than him being tired from a long season.
-
It also shows you how dumb adding a 85 win team to the "playoffs" is.
-
Yes and MLB rosters should be larger, IMO. Maybe a 30 man roster where you pick 25 players each series?
-
Those are some pretty good goalposts to me.
-
How much $$$?
-
Coco Crap.
-
They sat the whole left side of their IF (Machado and Beckham). Even Orioles fans were saying it was a weird lineup.
-
After 5 IP, the Sox were up 6-0. It wouldn't be unreasonable to expect the bullpen could get 4 innings as they are getting a rest today.
-
Pffft, that's just toxic brain fluff.
-
No one said "don't start him" just need to manage his innings (i.e. pitch 5 or 6 innings rather than 8).
-
Read Tyler's post again.
-
Why will the Astros series be incredibly tough? Shouldn't they be resting most of their starters by then?
-
If the bullpen was shaky, I could see a reason to keep going to Sale.
-
I'm not taking the division for granted either. However, the bullpen has been fantastic. Sale has been about 50/50 in his starts. It appears he needs rest. The bullpen could take over for him and get a win especially when they have a substantial lead.
-
How is it any different that wanting to win the ALCS? Sale needs to save his bullets for the postseason. If he goes out and shuts down everyone in October, I'll eat crow again. If not, I hope some of you don't come up with other excuses.
-
You guys are the ones who want to keep overworking tired arms. Little seems like a fitting comparison to me.
-
Yup. Seems like there are a lot of Grady Little types on here. Just keep running them out there guys! It's definitely the right thing to do when the stats show otherwise!
-
Yes, Price should get more work in to make sure he's ok to go or not. Don't want to waste a PS roster spot on him. Just because he looked good against an O's lineup yesterday, doesn't mean there are underlying issues. Why ignore the tough starts he's had recently?
-
Let's not act like he hasn't shown any issues with being tired down the stretch.
-
https://www.sbnation.com/2016/7/25/12274126/2016-mlb-trades-list-rumors-deadline Pomeranz was the best starter available at the deadline last year. Hill struggled with injuries and didn't pitch up to expectations down the stretch.
-
How'd he look last Friday against the Rays? 5 2/3, 4 ER How'd he look against the Yankees on Sept 3? 4 1/3, 3 ER How'd he look against the Guardians on Aug 24? 3, 6 ER Half of his starts since Aug 1 have been mediocre to horrible. http://www.fangraphs.com/statsd.aspx?playerid=10603&position=P&type=&gds=2017-08-01&gde=2017-09-20&season=

If his only job is to be a late inning defensive sub for Devers or Nunez, it's worth the roster spot.
-
Sale's innings need to be managed as much as possible right now.
