Based on pre-season expectations the 2026 season is a success regardless of any post season play, based on expectations at the asb not making the play offs even via wild card would be a disappointment but still a good season, however based on the position they were in at the trade deadline then failing to reach the post season would not be a success.

I was going to say if Meidroth is considered a “super sub” after this season then we’re going to have one helluva good team.

I am going to reserve Roch judgement until he actually gets into the system and gets going. As a Sox fan I am never going to forget two teams talking themselves out of Carlos Rodon in a similar situation.

Agreed, and to add to Tony’s post, I would say Roch not being a “likely MVP candidate” was a bit disappointing this year.

I think it's supposed to be fine for the Cleveland series - it's the Cubs one Fri/Sat/Sun that is gonna have major issues

Ya know, I'm something of a Red Sox fan myself. Someone more talented then me needs to make this meme of Willem Dafoe in a Red Sox hat

There is a massive storm brewing off the east coast that is expected to bring heavy rain to the NE over the next week. In a worse case landfall situation the entire Red Sox Tribe series would be in danger. I have no idea what would even happen if they couldn't get a game in. I'd imagine they'd have to make it up ASAP with a double header, but what if they can't even get a single day they can play in? Would they move it to Toronto or something? I have no fucking clue.

Would you rather play a team who clinched and their season is extended or a team with guys trying to hang onto a MLB career and their vacation starts next week?

That's Mr. Broken Cranium to you

Just need to win one more than Cleveland does.

He didn't need anything else with that lead

While the Sox sending injured pitchers out to play is par for the course, he sure had his best stuff of the year, which makes that doubtful.

There’s been no word on a potential injury though.

Luis was trying to play tic tac toe. Almost had the diagonal.

Earlier than that I would hope. Unless our rotation is banged up or on fumes again and we need him to pitch

2-4, or 1-5 just to be safe

IMO some of the best horror is able to walk the line between camp horror and straight up horror, Raimi is and always has been great at that

Hopefully CLE continues to struggle offensively against good pitching and they go 3-3 the rest of the way.

Legions of morons/haters are seeing a "crumb" of something they can finally criticize Caleb about and trying to turn it into a thing. "He's soft, that kind of reaction when it happened is reserved only for Grade 3 hammy sprains or torn achilles" is basically what they are all saying. These morons have had nothing to hate on Caleb about since the hit piece that dropped before the 2025 season and the narrative around that got shut down right quick. They got a crumb and trying to turn it into a steak and lobster dinner.

Pretty sure if he is topping out at almost 97, he isn't hurt.

Age exacerbates injuries and makes recuperation take longer. I wouldn't think that senility has made him forget how to pitch, or he's gotten noticeably weaker over 12 months. Just last September, he finished the season with 4 strong, 6+ inning outings.

Not sure why you would assume that. Age probably has more to do with his decline.

If you can pitch Martin and Schultz together to get 7 innings I think that would be ideal. But I don't know if Noah makes a playoff roster

I mean he was tolerable in Seattle this year, not like great, but decent enough to trot out there with the "piggyback". If he sucks next year just cut him around the deadline. He certainly isn't going to trigger his option as the mop up guy prior.

He's not being asked to "improve", just be something close to what he was last year, which was a serviceable, average major league pitcher. There's probably an underlying injury that's throwing off his season.
