Looks like GCL Sox postponed again.
Hoping for real time box scores for the DSL playoffs.

Through 3 innings, no score. 1 hit for the Dodgers and none for the Sox
Edit-1 Now though 5, Sox being no-hit )doing their best Boston imitation). Down 1-0.
Edit-2 Sox score 2 in the 7th to tie the score 2-2.

The starting pitcher, DH/cleanup hitter, CF/7 hitter, and LF/9 hitter were all signed or drafted this year for the DSL squad. Definitely atypical for the DSL affiliate to get that much help after the season started.

DSL scores two in the seventh to even it up, but leaves the bases loaded.

Definitely atypical for the DSL affiliate to get that much help after the season started. Looks like the GCL Sox also received three players from the DSL team in-season this year, which is more than usual. Sometimes there will be guys who will move up from the DSL when the GCL season starts (Espinoza a couple years ago, for one), but looking back, it's usually maybe one once they get underway. The ban on international signings seems to have played a role here. |

So DSL box score has been stuck in the bottom of the 8th for a while now. Rain delay? Technology issues?

There was definitely a certain amount of the DSL program having enough players for, say, 1.3 teams or something, where they had more guys than they wanted but were still well short of being able to field a second team because both would've been brutal. They also released more guys in season from the DSL program it seems, but I wonder how many were holdovers who wouldn't have made it to opening day if they'd been able to sign players last year. |

They also released more guys in season from the DSL program it seems, but I wonder how many were holdovers who wouldn't have made it to opening day if they'd been able to sign players last year.Or gone the other way, and released them after the season if there wasn't such a crunch for playing time/roster spots. I'm assuming they went into 2016 planning on having two DSL teams again. Then they got hit with the ban, and there they were with a dozen or so players they liked enough to sign but not really enough opportunity to give playing time to. Maybe it would've been worthwhile to set up a second rookie league team and fill it with a half-dozen or so indy ball/college FA types, but that's easy for me to say with someone else's money. Taking all the players they had in the DSL last year, there were a few who look like actual prospects (Mata, Castellanos, and the rest of the guys who were at instucts) and were going to get their reps this year no matter what. And at the other end of the spectrum, I'm sure there were several who I'm sure just couldn't play and got cut like they normally would have. But then there were all those players in between, and they had to sort through and evaluate all of them in a way that wasn't really optimal, either repeating the DSL or part-timing in the GCL or whatever. So it ended up as a weird year transaction-wise. |

Bobby Dalbec this month:
115 PA, 26 H (12 XBH), 14 BB & 3 HBP, 42 K, 30 outs made on BIP.
Just an interesting line. He's finally starting to hit, with 9 XBH in his last 10 games, but my god the strikeouts.

Chavis in a real funk. He's 1 for his last 23 with 11 strikeouts and no extra-base hits in his last seven. Also 10 for 57 in his last 17, with a 4 for 4 game in the middle mixed in. This is game 120 for him, a career high, and he got into only 81 last year, so I wouldn't be shocked if there's fatigue or some nagging something as they play out the string.

Carson Smith another shut out inning in Pawtucket - is he getting close to a call up?? Rosters expand Friday. They're not going to option someone before then and lose him for 10 days just to get one or two innings of Smith. |

After the two teams tied in the regular season it was the only way.

Whoever was working the game was a Red Sox fan and thought that pulling the plug on the computer doing the box score would be like hitting reset on the Nintendo before the game ends.
