They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

It will be the first MLB start (and 4th MLB appearance) for Dobnak, an undrafted free agent in 2017 who absolutely rocketed through the minors this year. He had a very solid year for Cedar Rapids last year, started 2019 in the Florida State League and was just a monster at every level. In terms of how out-of-nowhere this is, it would be the equivalent of Kevin Biondic ripping through the minors next year and then getting starts for the first place Red Sox in September 2020, but also doing it as a traditional pitcher rather than a knuckleballer.
-----
On a totally different note, the September callups are additionally fueling my season-long roster construction frustrations. It seems crazy the way they seemed to find a way to keep Colten Brewer on the MLB roster all year long in lieu of a potentially useful position player, and now aren't even calling him up with de facto unlimited roster space.

Maybe they don't think Brewer has it together yet. Just a thought.

Maybe they don't think Brewer has it together yet. Just a thought. Right. I guess my frustration is that they gave him 48 appearances -- on a roster with restricted space when they were often using JD Martinez as the backup outfielder and the backup catcher as the only bench player -- to come to that conclusion.

Salem: lhp DeJesus is posted as game one starter at home on WED Lowell, on road WED. No starter named Lowell at home Th, Fri.

We have been very average at home. W 13 games left at home. Would be great to bank 10 wins. If you count 48 road that before the end of the year. that is 92, which will be close, if not in.
Home cooking....we need it now !!!

No complaining about umpires today.

Rick can't escape the damages, but so far has been saved a run.
This is why making the playoffs won't even matter without Sale.

Possibly another run saved on what would have been a sac fly.

30 pitch first inning? Yikes Porcello through 2 innings and 1 run with 47 pitches. Porcello is a joke this year.

Would anyone be willing to bring Porcello back next year on a pillow contract? Like 1 year and 6 million? Will teams really offer more? Or let that ship sail?

Swap Porcello and Cashner? Neither good but I feel better with Cashner pitching as a starter over Porcello
