Twins lose- still 4.5 back The Hail Mary for this season remains the 9/20-9/22 three game series vs the Twins at Fenway. On to Toronto Exactly. The Twins and Royals still play each other again, too. This ground can be made up, but they gotta drop dropping games like today. Hendriks and Slaten can’t get here soon enough

I was really ready for the post-Cora Era to start in 2025 but I guess I can’t have nice things. I remember what his coaching staff main goal was during spring training, one month left and it’s the same old s***!

I would argue that Cora has gotten the maximum amount out of this roster. The overall roster isn’t fantastic, the team needs to spend this offseason.

Quinn Priester I believe was slated for Wednesday in Worcester but last pitched 8/22 so seems like he would be the candidate then for Tuesday? Unless they just want to do Rich Hill but it seems like he’s not built up enough yet

67-62. 5 over. 6-11 in our last 17. +13 run differential. 14-20 post all star break.
Last year they were 68-61 at the point the team is this season. They then went 10-23. The Barraclough game happened on August 28.
What happens next? The upcoming Toronto games are just huge.
Minnesota is playing Atlanta then Toronto. KC is playing Cleveland then Houston.
It will be now or never.

Unless they just want to do Rich Hill but it seems like he’s not built up enough yet Honestly? Might just do a bullpen day. You get a 27th man tomorrow, and I would expect Chase Shugart given that tomorrow is ten days in AAA for him since being sent down. Can't call up Weissert since he was sent down too recently, so maybe they DFA somebody for another reliever (or, instead of a DFA, Campbell has been injured for around 30 days, so you could just move him to the 60-day IL to open a spot. That could bring up a guy like Penrod or Guerrero.
It could be Priester too, I just don't really want to see Priester up this season if we don't have to. Rather just let them work on him for the rest of the season and offseason and then see where he's at in the spring.

The way the season is playing out, I`d like him to spend some time in Boston. Back when you could have the whole 40 man roster in the dugout, it was good for the young guys to get a taste of being in the ML. When they decide they are out of the playoff hunt hopefully they can even give Gasper enough rope to see what they have. They may have already made up their mind with him. It`ll be time to sit TON and give Hamilton some time in the OF. It`s almost time to start using the rest of the year to evaluate things for next year. The games would be more enjoyable.

The issue is you have a double-header today, TBD tomorrow, and you don’t have a day off until next Thursday. Just over the next 48 hours alone you need to cover 26 innings (suspended game starts in the 2nd). Let’s say Pivetta and Criswell combine for 10 innings - not sure you can reasonably ask the pen to cover 16 innings over a day and a half. Need someone to start or at least provide bulk innings

There’s a double header today? Suspended game with Toronto from when Danny Jansen was hitting and now will be behind the plate is at 2 pm. It’s top second with guy on a 1st for Toronto. The rain delay is finally over!
