Grade this year's trade deadline
I feel like most people who don't like the reliever trades are glossing over how scary the pen was right before the deadline. Ryan Burr was getting big set up man innings was how bad things had gotten. Bummer had an ERA near 5 at this point. Heuer was still over 5 for his ERA. Kopech was just off of injury and wasn't doing back to backs. Crochet had given up earned runs in four straight outings. Ruiz had his struggles. ReyLo had just come up from the minors in the 2nd half of the month and his 8 ERA at AAA, and hadn't really established himself as trustworthy yet. Burdi had been awful and send out to AAA. It was scary trying to get the ball to Hendriks, especially the 2nd half of July. You can make an argument about WHO we should have gotten, but the pen was really, really bad during this stretch is an absolute fact.

Wright will not be on the playoff roster. He is literally just a live body to give innings.- Sox playoff tickets on Sale Wed 2pm

If Yermin was already off of the AAA roster for some reason, I can't see him being around for the playoff roster, even as an extra.- **Water-Cooler Thread (TV stuff)**
It's definitely not alone in having a garbage ending that puts a dump on a shows legacy. Lost, Dexter, and How I Met Your Mother all were godawful endings. Dexter was a show ruiner for sure.- ALDS Playoff Roster Discussion
He'd be a great one to have on the roster, though I would think if he was going to be on it, he'd be up already.- COVID Thread Part Deux

This was my guess from another thread. Unless there are more injuries, they will probably carry less guys in then pen than they have been, and will probably only start 4 guys, so they can carry an extra hitter. Will guess Giolito, Lynn, Rodon, Cease start, with Dallas going to the pen. The rest of the pen will be Liam, Kimbrel, Kopech, Crochet, Tepera, Bummer, Ruiz, and ReyLo. Burr, Wright, Foster, Fry, etc are out. I think they go, C. Yas, Collins 1B: Abreu, Sheets 2B, Leury, Hernandez SS: TA 3B: Yo OF: Eloy, Robert, Vaughn, Hamilton Last spot to Engel or Goodwin if either is healthy. If not, maybe they keep Burr. Surprise would be 3rd Catcher in Seby.- **Water-Cooler Thread (TV stuff)**
Man I LOVED the original right up until the ending. I hated the ending enough that it ruined the show for me for a long time. I am going to watch the prequel to hopefully get some of that taste out of my mouth.- Joe West (finally) retiring

What do you mean by "new"? There are all kinds of variants out there, even past Delta.- COVID Thread Part Deux
My biggest problem with covid is all of the people it kills and the long term health conditions is causes even in "mild" cases. I am not quite sure why anything else should be that important compared to it. Then again when all of your posts go against what you say are your own actions, people aren't going to really believe you.- 9/27 Sox @ Tigers 12:10PM CT
