This is just so stupid on the MLB, we're past the point of offerings to spark talks. There has to be serious negotiations not just posturing. I'll say it again what a dang bummer for baseball fans. Fans will lose interest real fast. There are other sports competing for their attention. And the resentment at the owners won't fade overnight. A baseball season that starts in May will carry a stigma into September. Are you hearing a lot of anger over the lockout? We won't. We'll just hear silence.

This is an optimization problem.
1. An erroneous approach is trying to minimize the error of protecting players who would not be selected.
2. Another erroneous approach is trying to minimize the number of unprotected players that are lost in the draft.
3. The correct approach is a balanced approach that minimizes both errors. If the Sox never lose a player, they are making too many errors of the type in point 1.
.....
I think 6 players are protected. Not Feltman Not Fitzgerald

If it's a close game expect to see Sawamura. If it's a blowout, will they go to Whitlock?
No. They need to save everyone for game 4.

I thought they had all 13 pitchers available for 1 & 2. Maybe ERod needs a full 7 days.
Just go with your best 9 pitchers.

That was an awesome W. This is one I’ll never forget. Best long relief outing since Pedro in 99 (Eovaldi in 2018 not withstanding) Barnes was good, but not like Pedro

10/08/21 Boston Red Sox placed RHP Garrett Richards on the 10-day injured list. 10/08/21 Boston Red Sox activated RHP Matt Barnes
I'm probably the last to hear ...

I still think it’s the right call going to Pivetta and trying to play for the win, and it’s still 3-0. Not that bad. But also it isn’t a good idea to have Pivetta going for a lot of bullets tonight. I really don’t know. This is a brutal game to manage, don’t envy Alex right now. Pivetta's last start was 7 days ago. Plus an inn on Sunday. He needs 40 to 50 pitches to get ready for his Monday start. The idea with Richards is to have him available for game 2.

If the game turns into an blowout, McClanahan can get pulled and come back in game 4.
Keep it a close ballgame

Why let wainwright hit for himself with a runner on, if your gonna take him out two batters later? Yea. Lost opportunity. Wainwright swings first pitch ... 100 mph sinker Edit: let Bader steal on first pitch. If he's out, Wainwright stay in to pitch. If he steals, pinch hit as soon as Wainwright gets 1 strike. Wainwright gets the take sign.

The 'bracket' format for a 4 way tie is great. As is picking the opponent. Eric - Thanks for putting that together. Im just assuming you are right on all this, it's making my brain hurt. We can peer review his work when one game is a blowout ... eliminating some outcomes Somebody will. Events, too.
If the finish is
NYY 92-71 TOR 92-72 Bos 91-72
Does NYY get wildcard ONE ?

Gray RHP is a bad hitter and looks to be a poor bunter

updated playoff odds - MFY 84 percent, Sox 80, Jays 24, Seattle 11. A Jays win and Sox win tomorrow will really scramble up these numbers. Mariners, fangraphs ... 19% Digging deeper ... 81% to be eliminated ... most likely on Sun, very very unlikely on Sat. Otherwise on Monday. Still will be 4 teams at start of Sunday ... one team then out ... 3 teams left on Monday. Another team eliminated on Monday, and one on Tuesday. Survivor appears in Rays' '21 team docu-drama.

Right now, Sox have to be prepared for an elimination game on Sunday, on Monday, and on Tuesday. Pulling Eovaldi at 90 makes sense with that in mind
