Santana doing his best Franchy impression? Marwin with the best impression. And Brennan, not Brewer. If not him, whom? If not now, when? I can't believe Montreal won.

Brewer will clear waivers, officially. Outright. Next.

Forecast seems to preclude any game tomorrow. Two ways to make this up: Monday, June 7, travel day for Sox coming back from NY, travel day for MIA from Pittsburgh to home (70 minute flight to us), in fact the end of the road trip that stated here. That gives both teams a stretch of 16 days without one off, instead of 8, then 7 (us) or 6 then 9 (them). Monday August 23rd, Sox are off at home, travel day from MIA to home (98 minute flight to us). But that expands 16 straight days for us (that follow) into 20, while only creating 10 straight days for MIA. Disparity in travel coming in, disparity in schedule strain, longer flight for MIA, and different rosters. Less fair in every way.
(There's a 3rd mutual off day on 9/16, but the Sox are flying back from Seattle that day.) So it should be easy to make this up 8 days later, which is cool and kind of strange.
June 7 is make up date. 510 pm

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before but Johan Mieses hit a home run. #11 on the year in 21 games. Ok I get that it’s small sample size. I get that he’s turning 26 in a month and a half. I get that he’s been in AA since 2017. I get that Portland has 2 outfielders and it feels like Worcester has 50. But how long does he have to mash before they move him up? Can't move up until he breaks the record. HR in one month, AA.

Replacing marginal 40-man players with more solid ones is the way to improve the team. So it probably is a good thing if some of Wilson, Arroyo, RHernandez, Brewer, Brennan, Valdez are gone.
With the trade deadline 2 months away, it would be helpful if the injured players could get back playing ... so there's some minimal '21 evaluation.

After Groome very nearly put it together for a great start last time, I'm very interested in what he does today. Groom's performance is the news of the day. 5 inn, 1h, 0bb 63 pitches management must be elated

I'd expect all 4 MIA OFs to be in the lineup, with Cooper the likely DH The 3 MIA pitchers are lousy hitters, so nothing lost with the DH I love how your obsession changes over time, currently pitchers hitting. Not a bad thing. Just funny! If pitchers batting is interesting, then pitchers not batting: even more so

Not a lot has changed since March, but I'd expect the 40-man roster to look different by September.

" -- Corey Kluber's bid to match Johnny Vander Meer's feat of consecutive no-hitters ended when Toronto's Bo Bichette reached on an infield single with one out in the third on Tuesday night, and the New York Yankees removed the 35-year-old right-hander after the inning. veteran had tightness in his right shoulder, and will be further evaluated Wednesday. An MRI will be a part of the evaluation." ESPN
Yesterday: Eddie Rosario singled — the first hit off Turnbull since May 13 — in the second.

Pablo Sandoval brings his .908 OPS to the DH spot.
None of those 4 pitchers hit well, so the DH works for both teams

I have a question about clock hoping someone can help me out. My understanding is that once you’re x days into the season, you can then call someone up and you’ll get the extra year of service time. So at this point, the only reason they would be delaying the call up (in terms of service time game) is if they were going to call him up x days into NEXT season? The clock runs once your sent up, even if you get sent back down, is that right? I’m sure I’ve got it wrong here somewhere. Here's how it works. This is applicable even more so to Mata, who could be recalled at any point and placed on the 60-day IL, which would clear a 40-man spot but start his clock. So I'll use him as an example.
Had their been no TJ surgery, and they wanted him in the rotation for next year, they could grab the extra year of service time by keeping him in AAA for 15 days (starting from the first day of the overall season, not the individual club's opener. This year, BTW, it was 14 days). Or, by having him on option for 15 days of the season; the clock only runs when you're actually on the MLB roster. So if they had a rash of injuries in ST, they wouldn't hesitate having him start the year in the MLB rotation if they knew they'd be sending him down for at least 15 days once the veterans were all healthy.
In the current real situation ...
Let's say they put him on the 60 day IL and start his service clock on August 1 to make room for a deadline trade acquisition. He'd pick up 64 days of ST, which would mean you'd have to keep him in AAA for 79 days next year if you wanted not to burn a year of service time. That's about 70 games into the season. I think the odds of him being recalled to MLB and staying in the rotation next year that quickly are tiny. In fact, it's hard to see how he would need to get any substantial service time next year (I don't believe September call-ups count), having missed all of this one with the surgery, given that they probably have Sale, Eovaldi, a resigned E-Rod, Pivetta, Richards (option picked up), Houck, Whitlock, and Seabold ahead of him. He'd have to be spectacular to cause a dilemma.
The downside comes in 2023, when Eovaldi and Richards are likely gone and he's had a full year after the surgery. Then you might find yourself torn between an early call up to improve the rotation, and keeping him down long enough that his 2023 doesn't count as his first full year.
And the sooner they put him on the IL this year, the longer they'll have to wait in 2023. Re Duran, they've already gained the extra year. When they call him up, if he stays in MLB once he gets here as seems likely, won't affect when he hits free agency at all.
The 15 days in April in milb worked for someone like Kris Bryant, who was not on the 40-man. He then had his "contract purchased". But for a 40-man player, they must spend 20 days in the minors to burn an option and avoid MLB service time. If it's only 19 days, those days are considered MLB service days. Otherwise, a team would have both ... no option burned, no service time. Sept call ups accrue service time.

JD has become such a fine defensive outfielder, he doesn't need to be pulled with a lead of 8-3 Edit: Whitlock has never batted. College nor pro JD is so fast, Cora can't pinch-run for him

Wheeler is the only one of the 6 who can handle the bat. Bunts well. Career OPS .400
JDM probably has a "scheduled off-day" with no DH

Nice game by the Sox on Saturday. Perez was impressive again in Great performance Raffy. And Franchy chipped in nicely. And the great thing about a blow-out win is that it sets the bullpen up nicely for a chance to win a close game on Sunday. At this rate, they'll need to sweep. As great as the Sox have played (best record in baseball), their margin for error is really slim. The Yankees, Rays, and Jays keep winning and are not too far back, and even in the wild card race, Cleveland is on Chicago's tail, and Houston and Oakland are in a similar situation and their records aren't too far off the Sox. One bad streak and next thing you know you're not even a second wild card. The AL must be killing the NL in interleague, which is probably why other than Minny and Detroit stinking the joint up every other AL team has a strong record. The AL is 3 games over .500

The Wilsonians are content that their guy has had a fine two weeks in AAA, not AA.
Soon, Rosario may be part of the daily drama

Eovaldi ERod Richards Pérez Pivetta Andriese
Houck Seabold Mata Gossett Gonsalves
Hart
Espinal Weber
I dropped Hart, Espinal, Gossett due to total ineffectiveness. Let's put Espinal on as number 9. He threw strikes today. Total ineffectiveness after a single start? Really? Hart will get it together and have a good year. But he hasn't had a WHIP (Spring or Regular) below 2.00 since Spring '20, when his ERA was 7.00. After last night's game let's add Gossett back. Giving them 10. Guilty until proven innocent
