Might rank up there with Anderson for Bagwell as far as trades go, though the Sox at least got a division title out of the Anderson trade. Mets didn’t make the postseason in 2021.
-
What are you talking about? Mickey Cochrane only struck out 217 times in his 13 year career
-
He’s had pitches to hit; he’s looked at them. When he was going well, he was aggressive, going after them, and not missing.
-
To quote the Waco Kid from Blazing Saddles, “When?”.
-
Yes it burns an option. Doesn’t mean Romy couldnt be on the postseason roster; they can use anyone who was on the 40 man on August 31 (plus anyone on the 60 day IL on that date). AAA season ended early this week, so it’s not like Romy has been sitting for too long.
-
Because in the WC Series, he’s going to be in the pen, so give the kid a game to experience the role.
-
The penalties that MLB would impose for that type of forfeit would be astronomical. To start with, there would be a huge fine, almost certainly 9 figures. They’d probably add in loss of high round draft picks and probably a ban on international signings. As for saving pitching, you’ll see Suarez, Burgos, maybe some guy out of Worcester. Back end of the pen. Frontline pen types might pitch one inning to stay sharp, but that’s it. Otherwise, it will be guys who don’t figure to be on the 1st round postseason roster.

The issue with the weekend rainout is that the 3 games could affect the 3rd AL wildcard not only Bos-CWS but also CWS-Tex/Hou. An even bigger affect is the NL WC standings, where the Cubs, Phillies and Padres are all pretty much assured of qualifying but have identical records as of right now. Which is a long way of saying those games will have to be played somehow.
-
Except the March-May Sox went 1-5 against the Stros, including 0-3 in Houston.
-
Yep, but I don’t blame him for pulling up. He goes after it those last couple steps and both could have been injured.
-
Monastario has to get out of the way. Abreu pulled up to avoid him. Monastario is rapidly playing his way off the post season roster.
-
Sandoval for one more, then since Tracy said he wanted to get him an inning today, Guerrero in the 8th?
-
That spot in the rotation has been terrible no matter who has been in it. Bello early on. The opener attempts. Now Sandoval.
-
He has been over Narvaez, even offensively. Adley’s hitting about .190 for the Sox. Out of curiosity, I looked at how Narvaez has done with O’s. He hitting a solid .106 in 29 games with them.
-
I can easily see a scenario where Sandoval is released tomorrow and Oviedo or Houck is activated as a tryout to see what they can do for a possible playoff roster addition.
-
To be fair, I wrote that after the second pitch.
-
That’s adjective is a severe understatement.
-
Somehow, I don’t think that will be an issue. There’s a pretty good chance he never pitches for anyone again.
-
If Sandoval implodes early, he can serve as his own long man today. No sense burning the pen at all.
-
If true, you’d like to think a couple of old farts like them would know better.
-
To me, the Rafaela outlook is the most troubling. The thought of a Duran/Eaton platoon in center is scary, though less so if Duran can get on one of his patented 3-4 game hot streaks come playoff time. Don't think we can count on more than 3 or 4 games though.
-
Agreed. Supposedly a lat and the only cure for that is time. The only way they don't clinch a playoff spot is if they lose out AND Houston wins out. They will give that time to him.
-
Your choice is Bello today or Sandoval tomorrow. This also helps set Tolle up with an extra days rest.
