1-6, clinches 3rd spot 2-5, very likely 3rd spot 3-4 , 50/50 3rd spot 4-3, probably 6th. Tigers still worry me the most.

The Marlins would lose the tiebreaker to all of the Sox, Tigers, and Padres. It’s possible they could jump 3 spots by not playing that last make-up game.

Patrick Corbin may be a Top 10 pitcher in baseball, with a pretty good track record. The 30 year old will probably get $125-150M contract. Not sure ownership will go there.

Big 4 game series, Royals at Detroit starting tonight.

I see they have Collins as 1B. They must like his bat to play at 1st base.

I hope so. Just doesn’t sound right percentage wise.

Too bad. That could cost us a draft spot.

The Marlins have a rain out rescheduled for Monday October 1 with Pittsburgh. Will they play that game solely for draft implications? If not the Sox will lose the tiebreaker edge with Miami.

The Sox got robbed in the Swarczak trade.

Anyone for the automated strike zone?

To have the service time clock stopped, Kopech would have to be sent down for “performance” reasons. Spending time in the minors as a rehab project doesn’t stop the clock. Very likely the Sox will nuance this grey area and get that lost year of service time back after 6 weeks.

State of Emergency declared in Maryland this weekend. 3 game series with the Orioles could be washed out.

No. I think 2018 doesn’t count towards a full year. 2019 would be his first service year.

Same with Schwarber too. Cubs lost a year.

I think the Sox can send him down in 2020 for a few weeks which would stop the service clock and the team can get the year back. that would be 2025.
