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

With Refsnyder supposedly being activated, I assume it will be Ray Oyler - I mean Yolmer Sanchez - that we say goodbye to? Also surprised to see Hill still listed as a starter - would rather see him in the pen and keep Winck in the rotation.
But - aside from Storey and Houck, this is it - the best 2022 team - let's see what we can do the rest of the way.

Sanchez FINALLY optioned! The Sox are really clearing the “dead wood” off that roster:

But - aside from Storey and Houck, this is it - the best 2022 team - let's see what we can do the rest of the way. I thought I saw that the plan was to have Hill start and Winck piggyback. That would potentially be a good way to maximize both guys, as they're both around .700 OPS against first time through and way higher second time (.850 for Hill, .900 for Winck). If both guys throw 3-4 innings, you've got a decent shot at getting the equivalent of a good 7 inning start. My sister lives in Pittsburgh and is going to try to catch a game. She says it's a fantastic park and even though she only has Pirates gear, she'll root for the Sox to the best of her ability. |

Sanchez FINALLY optioned! The Sox are really clearing the “dead wood” off that roster: With Hernandez and Refsnyder coming back, Hernandez is the back up middle infielder. Big if, but if so many injuries did not happen, then the Red Sox would be in the wild card lead like they were when the massive number of injuries hit…IMO Hernandez has been on the 60-DL, so someone will need to get a DFA (I do not see anyone being moved to the 60-man). My guess for DFA is Yolmer Sanchez. |

So with Kiké and Refsnyder back, this is now a stronger roster than the one that went 20-6 in June.

I want Houck back, but I really hope they don’t risk his health in any type of way for our lottery ticket playoff hopes |

I am preparing myself to deal with the anger I will feel every time Tommy Pham starts ahead of Rob Refsnyder Pham has been HUGE for us. Why??! Game winning hit and half of our hits Sunday with 2 runs scored. The guy has been playing good for us. Also the only other player besides Devers with double digit homers. WE NEED HIM in the lineup. |

Feeling good at last about our line up - never thought I would be saying this, but prefer McGuire's bat in the line up instead of Plawecki. But if JD, Xander and Raffi can start to regularly pull their weight, the black holes have been largely filled - and with a decent bench.
Even the staff is looking as good as it can, with Tanner still injured.
So - no excuses, no brain farts, no swinging at pitches way low and outside, no more watching meatballs go by. Play ball, boys - win these games!

I think you may see BOTH Pham AND Refsnyder as well as Hernandez in CF playing against LH starters. |
