Is this a split or straight double header?

Is tomorrow a straight or split DH?

Truly. TLR is the worst. And of course Nicky makes it happen! Love him.

Wtf let him hit

Because Mendick is probably a better 3B.

I hope they play, but I am expecting a DH tomorrow. At least they got yesterday in - didn't turn out to be all that bad.

Are teams allowed to use the bereavement list in this way? Basically as just a 3 day IL? Me thinks something actually happened that he needs to attend to or teams would be doing this all the time.

Is he bereaving his pulled hammy?

When the 2 week rehab assignment ends, you either need to add Fry to your MLB roster or option him to AAA. So not necessarily.

There is no way they’re calling Friday nights game on Thursday morning.

I don't think they'd do that. The Twins just took a trip the Anaheim to play the Angels for a single day double header that got COVID'd out earlier this year. My guess is the Sox will do everything in their power to get at least 1 of the games in the next two days, and do a DH on Sat if needed.

Wooooof. He fell a ways.

That would be back to back to back double headers Sat-Mon.

But yeah, looks like this one probably turns into a DH tomorrow. Which sucks.

Hopefully if there is a roster move today, it involved Eaton and not Kopech.

This was a tough one.

I mean the Sox play the Orioles for 4 games in there, so yeah. I’m gonna say you’re wrong.

I would imagine Godwin’s performance in AAA has moved Sheets and Rutherford ahead of him in terms of opportunity.

Haha yeah. That guy is ban worthy honestly. Next post he makes that adds something to the board would be the first.

You usually b**** at people for posts just like this. Amazing.

Based on the fact that he was hotter than a pistol the first 2 weeks of the season and hasn’t really been that great of hitter going on a solid month now. Just watching him he hasn’t been squaring up pitches for awhile now and most of his hits are little dinks. I hate that being realistic makes people think I’m rooting against Yermin or have something abainst him. I don’t. I just don’t think he’s a .300+ hitter or that his start was even remotely sustainable. Two big bases loaded at bats for him again today 3 innings in and nothing to show for it.

If that is referring to me, I am not nor have I ever rooted for Yermin to fail. I think he's one of the best stories of the year so far in the MLB, should be a frontrunner for AL ROY and should be an All Star if the game was this weekend. I am 100% on Yermin's side on the TLR debacle. I also just don't think he's an elite MLB hitter. He has very good bat to ball contact and his 2 strike approach is a thing of beauty. But at least a quarter of his hits are squibbers and texas-leaguers and I just don't see that as all that sustainable in the big leagues, especially a below average runner. His hot start was amazing - I just think we've already seen the correction. His last month of production is pretty meh for a DH - there is no denying that. I hope like hell he turns into the next Jose Bautista, but I just don't really see it. Super fun story, and I hope he continue to prove everyone wrong. I am in no way rooting against him - but I am also not writing him into the DH spot for the next half decade with a Sharpie.

Yermin's last 28 days: .263/.317/.388 for a .706 OPS. The dude can hit, and is fun AF to watch. But this probably much more realistic of the Yermin we see moving forward.

They paid market, actually. Which is what is required to sign top of the line free agents. Which everyone bitches that the Sox don't do. Can't have it both ways.

Leury in RF for Eaton against lefties makes sense. Historically he hits much better right handed than left, though not so much yet this year in SSS. I don't doubt Leury will still get some starts in CF as they're not going to run Engel out there every single day, but I'd be surprised to see it used as a true platoon as neither side of it hits righties very well and Engel is a much better CF.
