I'd like to see the Dodgers go home losers 2 years in a row & Machado being on the team would make it an added bonus.

No matter what happens in the bottom of this inning you can't bring back Price, can you?

Price is having trouble throwing strikes, better get someone warming Cora he's getting ready to soil himself again.

I have 0% faith in Price. Tonights lineup needs to score some runs, early & often.

Get someone up Cora, Price is about to soil himself. Who do you want warming? Two big home runs is obviously not ideal, but he’s the best option in the second inning of this game. E. Rod, Porcello, Anybody. Price is never the best option on the big stage, in a big game or vs the Yankees.

No way is Eovaldi "locked into a bullpen spot" maybe Wright, maybe He absolutely is. He's probably the 2nd best pitcher in the bullpen as soon as he's there. It's why they traded for him instead of a bullpen arm. He was acquired to help get the starting pitching staff get through the season & audition for a possible play off roster spot, which has not gone well for him. And he'd be more like the 2nd worst pitcher in the bullpen if placed there.

Assuming a 7 man bullpen, you have 5 spots locked up in Kimbrel, Brasier, Wright, Eovaldi, and Barnes. That leaves 2 spots open for 5 pitchers. Hembree Kelly Johnson Poyner Workman Chose wisely. I'm probably taking Poyner and Workman. No way is Eovaldi "locked into a bullpen spot" maybe Wright, maybe

First off; If Dombrowski trades for another middle relief pitcher during the off season he needs to be run out of town.
I still think Vazquez is & is viewed by the Sox as the long term plan as the starting Catcher. I don't think he will be or should be traded.
I think Leon has 2 years of arbitration left & Swihart has 4 (might be 3, I'm not positive). I think that makes Swihart (along with his versatility & athleticism) more valuable in a trade. I'd like to see Swihart moved in some kind of package for a Starting Pitcher.
Vazquez & Leon are the 2 they should keep.

For those who think it; No way is Holt left off the Playoff Roster

Why didn't cora pinch hit for Leon? He has 3 catchers on the team.

Here we go: C – Leon 1B – Moreland 2B – Kinsler SS – Bogaerts 3B – Devers LF – Benintendi CF – Bradley RF – Betts DH - Martinez Those are my starting position players at this point. Leon’s defense can’t be undervalued. Devers and Nunez are basically even at this point for me, depending on the pitching matchup and how each look over the next few weeks. SP 1 – Sale SP 2 – Price SP 3 – Porcello SP 4 – E-Rod Again, we need to see how the rest of the regular season plays out. I could flip flop the order of the final three. Price has been great and should be the #2. It’s Price, though, so let’s let that play out. CL – Kimbrell RP – Barnes RP – Brasier RP – Hembree RP – Eovaldi RP – Poyner RP – Wright Bench – Swihart, Nunez, Holt, Pearce, Phillips I actually would rather have an extra arm than Vasquez at this point. Again, we still have plenty of games left, so I think a lot of this will sort itself out. I thought Phillips wasn't eligible for the post season roster because he wasn't added to the 40 man until after Sept 1st. Am I wrong?

The Sox need to get a Voodoo or Witch Doctor to visit the team and chase the evil spirits away. Sacrifice a live chicken, bats afraid of ball.

Based on their body of work this year so far, Eovaldi has the edge on Porcello for the #4, but it's too soon to make the call.
That's crazy! Porcello's body of work this year is far superior to Eovaldi's and it's not to early to make the call.

Velazquez might not even make Dmaineah’s playoff roster now. Doesn't change a thing. Just bad luck with Pearce. He's the guy I want for 3 innings after Price Soils himself on the big stage.

Post by dmaineah on Aug 24, 2018 18:53:58 GMT -5
Still have 7 days to make a trade. I agree about Maddox, I just looked him up & he only had 2 innings pitched. For some reason I thought he'd been pitching longer.

What if Chavis keeps raking at Pawtucket, might he be a dark horse candidate for the post-season roster? They only have 39 on the 40 man with a week to go. How about Austin Maddox? He was on last years post season roster.

My Playoff Roster would be;
Sale, Porcello, Price, E. Rod
Kimbrel, Barnes, Hembree, Brasier, Kelly, Johnson, Workman, Velázquez
Leon, Moreland, Kinsler, Bogaerts, Devers, Benintendi, JBJ, Betts, JD
Swihart, Pearce, Nunez, Holt
I want a 12th pitcher & Vazquez is my pick. And I love the 4 players on the bench especially Pearce & Nunez to start or pinch hit vs a Lefty.

There is the Holt-Núñez-León trio again, ugh. 3 for 10 with a run scored & 2rbi + an outstanding play each by Nunez & Holt & Leon with another great game behind the plate.
