Facing 3 lefties. Thus, Owings starts all 3 games.

Which non-roster players will we see in Sept? Whom would you like to see?
Houck Stankiewicz McGrath Centeno Dalbec Ockimey Chatham
Waiver candidates - whom do Sox waive to make room? Curletta Josh Smith Weber Owings Lin Sale to the 60 day ... eventually

Tate Matheny got promoted to AAA. Not a high ceiling but I really like his game. Lin on the DL, we won't see him called up SUN. Is it plausible that he's being bypassed by others and he'll end up on September waivers, instead of the Boston bench?

Matthew Lugo seems to have hit a little bit of a wall. 2 for 23 with 11 strikeouts in his last eight games. Pretty good rookie campaign regardless. Perhaps 2 or 3 GCL guys will join Lowell for the playoffs. GCL playing the dominant Orioles. 22-year old Dominic has dropped from .959 OPS in July to .616 in Aug.

www.nytimes.com/1981/08/16/sports/baseball-rethinks-playoff-format.htmlEastern League used the "Kuhn rule" from 1981, without modifying the final weeks schedule. They avoided the calamity this year, it appears. If Reading had dropped down in the standings, they could qualify for the playoffs by losing to Trenton this coming weekend. That would be true if they: 1. Forfeit to Trenton 2. Lose deliberately 3. Lose unintentionally By beating Trenton, they could have eliminated themselves. Absurd no matter the outcome. In any event, it looks like Reading will win the second half easily, so they don't need Trenton to repeat as the first place team.

On the morning of the 25th: In 1973, Mets were 6.5 back of Cards, in last place. In 2011, Rays were 8.5 behind Sox.
I'm looking forward to Brian Johnson hitting today. He never should have given it up.

Lions season is over. Tough division
JBJ sits vs RHP. No DH
The eliminated teams seem to get swept by the pennant race teams, every night. Both leagues.

Tommy Joseph Would be good RHB depth at AAA next year. Cover possible wholes at DH & 1B.
Curletta RHB faded out.

TB, CLE are already romping.
Bills on CBS. Josh Allen is not the QB of the future. More futility

Unusual to give the IBB to Travis to pitch to the Brockstar.
The Brockstar: You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him.

PRO CAREER OPS, SH/PA
Paddock .230, 10% Lamet .220, 6% Lucchesi, .190, 5%
ERod .000 Eovaldi .250, 9% Johnson, .875 OPS in 500 PA as college DH
Johnson was the 2-way player of year in college. The others can't hit and, at first glance, can't bunt well.

Josh Taylor on the mound
Normal rules require that he face one batter ....which is the current batter.
Edit: Royals.com has Junis as starter on Fri, so they are going with bullpen. Junis, Montgomery an and the 4 ineligible pitchers are probably not in Boston. So they have 7 pitchers, including 5 rested relievers. Same for Sox, really.

Good to know this was the game we were going to really light up the offense with Smyly going. Last night - 3-2 with Cy Nola. tonight 3-2 with Cy Smyly. We are at home! With poor offense and porous defense, anyone have any doubts that they are now just starting to mail it in? Depressing.... We've lost the audience ... The season hangs in the balance

EDit:
Smith tripled to right, Fraley scored and Gordon scored.
