    In my opinion, the Sox are only thinking about health, and they’re trading off emptying the tank to go for the 2 seed. They’ll get their wins, wake up on the last day of the season with 92 wins, play a game…and then get ready for a game in Houston on October 7. 

    I am with you there.  The great thing is that this approach could still result in 95-96 wins and ahead oh Houston for the 2 seed.

    Push everybody hard to get a 50-60% chance at the 2 seed verses prioritizing health and still having a 10-20% chance at the 2 seed.  Those are just my estimates of the odds.  Make adjustments to my estimates if you like.

    I think prioritizing health is the play.

    There you go!

     I like a relatively short rope with crochet on deck but go Dane! This is what it’s all about. Live the dream boys!

    The results of these games as far as wins and losses are not that important.  Seeding may change, so what.  We will likely still win the division but either way what matters is getting ready for the playoffs.

    One good thing on that note is that Lopez stepped up even when the defense was kicking it around behind him.  We are going to need all the pitching we can get if we are to be successful in this format.  Sox young arms are going to be tested.  I am looking forward to see how it unfolds.

     I would give Hahn far more credit if he were to have built a winner without blowing it up. Any GM could have traded Sale, Quintana, and Eaton and got a lot of talent back. 

    You are not taking in to account that Hahn negotiated the contracts that created the surplus value that made those trades possible.

    You have to start McCann for now

     I agree that loading up the playoff roster with pitching is crucial.  That's why my thoughts went to leaving EE off for the emergency catcher.  Both McCann and Yas will pick up ABs that would have gone to EE.  Either emergency catcher also offer some pinch hit value.
