Wonder if they keep him off the ALDS roster if he shows little in any side sessions he is able to throw. Surprised they are not retroactively placing him on the IL to get bullpen help for the final four games, unless they plan on him coming in for an inning or two out of the bullpen. Huh? He's pitching tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 This would be my ALDS roster: OF (5): Jimenez, Robert, Engel, Vaughn, Hamilton IF/DH (7): Abreu, Garcia, Anderson, Moncada, Sheets, Hernandez, Gonzalez C (2): Grandal, Collins SP (4): Giolito, Lynn, Cease, Rodon RP (8): Hendriks, Kimbrel, Tepera, Kopech, Lopez, Bummer, Crochet, Keuchel I considered Burger as a pinch hitter option, but with Sheets and Collins being the only straight lefty bats, there really aren't going to be pinch hitting opportunities, and he definitely isn't going to be a defensive replacement. Romy gives you a safety net at the middle infield that really only has 3 other guys who can play SS and/or 2B. In a short series, a 9th reliever really isn't necessary. I would definitely consider Burger for that last bench spot in the World Series when pinch hitting will be more common. I know Keuchel pretty much sucks at this point, but your other options are Burr and Ruiz who aren't high leverage options either so I went with the guy who has experience and can eat innings.

Well in general it's like the NFL injury report - no need to tell your opponent those details until it's required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they know that Giolito is better able to pitch twice in the series but just aren't announcing until they have to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don’t want to announce anything until they’re forced to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I will be rather surprised if it’s not Giolito in Game 1. Sox have no reason to announce it this far ahead however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
