add 3 runs for Sox vs Toronto ... gives them 2 more wins. take away the Verdugo error on 9/4 that led to 3 unearned runs. and take away the chop single in front of the plate that Plawecki couldnt handle on 9/6
and the Sox are currently the 8th seed
a game of inches ... a manager that gets an advantage or two around the margins can easily add 5 wins to a team. Not RR.

at 31-29, CIN has tie over SF. but at 32-28, it goes to the last 20 games rule. CIN wins that. these will shake out largely in the next 28 hours. but i need to fix my chart.

Within an hour, ChiSox will have clinched tiebreaker over NYY. NYY has tiebreaker over MINN.
Atl is clinching tiebreaker over Cubs. Braves Magic # will be 2 over Cubs. Atl series this weekend will lose meaning.

You are correct. 2019 would be the tiebreaker.

Stock option.
No Puello in lineup. Arauz.

3 exhibition games.
Braves series this weekend. Braves & Cubs fighting for #2 seed. If Braves care about that, the series matters. I can't see why #2 would be significant in this case

The General Rule: do not have a player on your 40-man if he does not belong on a 40-man.
The Sox might make an exception this winter for somebody. But if they put that bunch of pitchers through waivers: 1) It's unlikely that more than one will be claimed. They would be competing against each other for interest from the 29 clubs. 2) congratulations to the claimed player X. Call it a success that the Sox turned a milb guy into MLB. 3) Sox can get player X back next summer when he is waived again.

ESPN has Mazza as probable for SAT. That's expected.

Bradley finally gets a day off Verdugo in center.
JD has shot at breaking below Mendoza tonight. Cleanup hitter.

We need an impact middle order bat next year. JD is probably toast. JD Mendoza is in the lineup for his defensive value. Hide him in the 8-hole.

With 5 pitchers on the 10-day I.L., gotta wonder how many of the 5 are done for the year. Sliding one to the 45-day is an easy way to open a roster spot.
Houck, etc. need spots.

Apparently, the reason Matt Hall only went 1 was that he was hurt (I don't know what). Maybe that will be the countermove for Eovaldi. I think Hall went 2 1/3 last nite. He was Hall-esque. Vs the lefty lineup. Triggs went only 1. To setup the all lefty lineup for Hall. Hall was optioned. Last night. Bob Daubach is benched today.

ESPN & FOX both reporting Eovaldi with the start today.
Maybe most have already heard.

Just seeing the Tapia callup. You guys are going to like him a lot of he displays the command he had at Pawtucket. A dream come true for Tapia. And for his fan club, the Tapians.
