Mata, Groome, and Shugart. Might be the best pitching probables of the entire minor league season. Lowell has a potential of 6 playoff games. Salem has 10. And then there's AFL. Wonder if any of that will be part of the plan for Groome.

That being said, there are so many non tender candidates or there should be on this roster on the pitching side- Heath Hembree Stephen Wright Brian Johnson Hector Velazquez Ryan Weber That's 5 pitchers you're debating that are worthy of even a 40 man roster spot. Yeah! Nobody loves to release players more than us, Pedro! Think of the players they could bring up in September if they cleared the roster ...

Vs LHP, Sean Rodriguez plays and Hoskins is likely the DH. Realmuto may be at 1B. Nola, Smyly: lousy hitters. So Philly is not losing some advantage. Today vs. RHP, the most likely DH is Harper.

If you take out the 0 for 54 he’s actually been a respectable hitter I would encourage Davis to slim down and: A. Give up the slugging, focus on OBP. B. Get back to playing 3B-RF C. Continue to pitch as the 8th or 9th man in the bullpen. Improve on that career ERA of 3.00 Would make himself somewhat valuable to the team.

The Brockstar. You can't stop him. You can only hope to contain him.
Let's go Tigers! Let's go Tigers!
Mets are on Waterbury CT tv. The CW. Channel 20-1.

Well, now I know why I'm not seeing Chris Sale on Sunday. Hope it's not a serious issue although elbow inflammation doesn't sound like a good thing. Sale on way to dr. Andrews for 2ND opinion. Brasier recalled. FYI

Castillo now has five years of professional service
So I believe that 4th option year won't be there in 2020.
Edit: "If a player misses an entire option year due to injury or expends his third option year before he has completed five professional seasons (Major Leagues and Minor Leagues included), he can receive a fourth option year. "
Since he's already received a 4th option year, we can assume he keeps it. Can use it in 2020

Just read the Sox starters ERA is 29th in MLB and their WHIP is 30th. And the Sox starters' salaries are 1st in MLB.

Cashner to the bullpen before September is just plain stupid. Just treat him like a freaking opener and use a short leash. They have zero better options. 5 off days remain in Aug. They only need 4 starters.

Playoff update: -With 17 games remaining, GCL Red Sox are tied for third place in the division, 4.5 games out of first place. Not quite sure what the procedure is going to be now that they are in three divisions rather than four, but if there is a wild card (rather than the top seed getting a bye), the Sox are three games behind the GCL Twins. www.milb.com/gulf-coast/events/playoff-proceduresGCL does have a wildcard.

August 12 and Sox are right in the thick of it. Mets aren't the only team that's going to play meaningful baseball in September

It's Porcello's 5th day. The fact that Brian J is starting .... shows the team ain't serious.
Starting in a week, they play 10 games in a 15 day period. They don't need Johnson in the rotation.
Edit: This is wrong. It's Price's 5th day. Johnson plugged into that spot.

Cashner nuked again. Fallout should be removal from rotation after one more start.
Sox don't need a fifth starter ... off days aplenty in Aug. Piggyback guys in Sept.

Good win. Cleveland, TB, and Oakland all lost as well. Nice start to maybe something Sox went from 16% to 21% in one day. Fangraphs. WC. Sox and Rays headed to Sept playoff race ... a race with only the few dedicated fans.

So, how invested are we, folks? I will keep watching because it would be inspiring to see the team beat up on some bad teams. (if we can beat up the bad teams). We just learned a lot in the Tampa and MFY games. I think we will also learn alot in seeing the affect/performance of the team against those they should clobber. Stat padding time, anyway! The team will stay focused on winning enough to stay on the margins of the WC race. Else viewership and revenues will plunge. Plunge more. Plunge more than they are.
