I don't think Eovaldi makes the playoff roster because I think the Pitching staff roster will be; Sale, Porcello, Price, E. Rod Kimbrel, Barnes, Hembree, Braisier, Kelly, Thornburg, Velázquez, Johnson Just a reminder that as of yesterday you thought Thornburg would be on the playoff roster over Eovaldi, lol Just to be clear, it's what I think the Sox will do NOT what I would do. If it was up to me Thornburg would still be in AAA working his way back. And I also said that I could see them going with Workman over Thornburg. So, lol all you want

This is one of the only times Thornburg should pitch. Up by or down by 7.
Jeez, 7 might not be enough for him

3rd time through the order is when we'll dial it up Think Franconia will let him pitch a 3rd time through?

Price is pitching well at least. After throwing 20 to get through the 1st nice to see him under 70 through 5

Wow, I really didn't expect him back this year. If he gets back to Boston it will make for an interesting Roster decision come playoff time. They said he'd be out 6-8 weeks about 7 weeks ago. Not sure why this is surprising. Or are you talking about Wright? Nope, Vazquez. Seems like whatever time frame they give, you can double it.

Sigh... our Carmines lose a couple in a row against a very good team, and the calls surface for a Dombrowski knee jerk move. Let’s chill. The roster is getting healthy, and things should be pretty well lined up by mid-to-late September. The bullpen has the potential to be devastatingly effective in a playoff setting, as guys like Price and/or Eovaldi will be able to let it loose for 2-3 innings at a time. Let’s win today. Price isn't going to the pen & I doubt Eovaldi makes the playoff roster.

This site has always been terrible to posters who have a different opinion from the majority of posters even more so if it is different from a moderator. You just have to let it go, ignore them & move on.

Tzu-Wei Lin & Bobby Poyner & a PTBNL or cash for Will Smith You do know that Smith would have to go unclaimed by the other 28 teams before the Red Sox could deal for him, correct? And the odds that nobody claims him before he falls to the Red Sox is virtually zero. I wouldn't put it at zero but yes I know. He's exactly what the Red Sox pen needs & if he became a available DD should pay the price

Eovaldi, Pomeranz & Thornburg's audition for the last play off roster spot aren't going very well. Go get Will Smith or Tony Watson from SF Dave

Oh come on. What if he gets hurt diving for a ball in the outfield? Or slips in the shower or doing whatever...

I think he can do it.
If JBJ is on the active roster, he starts.
I think it's crazy in a world series game to replace JD's bat in a close game with JBJ's bat for defensive purposes. JD needs to stay in the game. He needs to learn 1B & I think he can do it.

I think if everyone is healthy JD should be batting 3rd & playing 1B. The team still needs to acquire a LH bat to hit 4th & it probably won't happen until the off season so until then JD should be followed by Moreland/Pearce, Bogaerts, Devers, Kinsler, Catcher, JBJ. JDM isn't going to be learning a new position at this point of the season. He absolutely needs to. I fully expect this team to reach the World Series and he absolutely needs to play 1B in the NL park.

Hembree enters the game and there are no comments ? If they don't sign Kimbrel Hembree is the Closer next year

Random thoughts: I think they'll wait until September 1st to add ERod, when rosters expand. Devers is starting to bug me. Not his defense, but his swings and misses. He swings at everything close and sometimes not even close. Way too many strikeouts. Just hacking. Plate discipline is not his strong suit. I wonder if Chavis will eventually take over 2nd. He used to be a SS. Pety may be done forever. Dalbec could challenge Devers at 3rd. Pedroia may be done forever?

Austin Maddox rehabbing with the GCL today. Mark Montgomery was also apparently sent on a rehab assignment to the GCL as well. Nice to hear some news on Red Sox future Closer Austin Maddox

You have to be on the 40 man roster to get called up even in September don't you? I don't see them adding castillo
