The one thing I have no issue with
I love the way they handled Sale

Asked by @chadjennings22
why the Sox were so ultra careful with Sale and are throwing Schwarber into the fire, Cora was honest and acknowledged that Sale is signed for three more years. That's why.

Game 118: Orioles at Red Sox lineups and pregame notesBy Andrew Mahoney Globe Staff,Updated August 13, 2021, 2 hours ago The Red Sox have now dropped 11 of their last 13 games after Thursday’s 8-1 loss to the Rays. Help is on the way, both in the form of Chris Sale making his season debut Saturday, and the arrival of the last-place Orioles. If they can’t turn it around against Baltimore this weekend in a three-game set at Fenway Park, it might be time to focus on the Patriots preseason. Lineups ORIOLES (38-75): 1. Cedric Mullins (L) CF 2. Anthony Santander (S) LF 3. Trey Mancini (R) 1B 4. DJ Stewart (L) DH 5. Austin Hays (R) RF 6. Pedro Severino (R) C 7. Maikel Franco (R) 3B 8. Jorge Mateo (R) 2B 9. Richie Martin (R) SS Pitching: RHP Spenser Watkins (2-3, 4.22 ERA) RED SOX (66-51): 1. Enrique Hernandez (R) 2B 2. Alex Verdugo (L) LF 3. Xander Bogaerts (R) SS 4. Rafael Devers (L) 3B 5. Hunter Renfroe (R) RF 6. Kyle Schwarber (L) DH 7. Kevin Plawecki (R) C 8. Jarren Duran (L) CF 9. Bobby Dalbec (R) 1B Pitching: RHP Nick Pivetta (8-5, 4.34 ERA) Time: 7:10 p.m. TV, radio: NESN, WEEI-FM 93.7 Orioles vs. Pivetta: Maikel Franco 2-3, Austin Hays 0-5, Trey Mancini 1-9, Ryan McKenna 1-1, Cedric Mullins 3-8, Anthony Santander 0-1, Pedro Severino 0-9, DJ Stewart 2-5, Ramón Urías 1-2. Red Sox vs. Watkins: Has not faced any Boston batters. Stat of the day: The Red Sox have lost each of their last five series. Notes: Pivetta has faced the Orioles twice this season, winning both starts while allowing six runs on 10 hits with six walks and nine strikeouts over 12 innings. He has won all five of his career starts vs. Baltimore. … Watkins has never faced the Red Sox, but is 2-1 with a 3.18 ERA and 13 strikeouts in three starts against AL East opponents this season.

Jesus, these guys spend more time in the shower than on the mound.The RS are #9 in the AL in terms in IPs. In terms of IPs/GS, the RS are 5th in the AL. The RS rotation has an average of 5.11 IPs Per start. The NYY are #4 with 5.17. |

It is why the pen is so burned out.

That is great
I still stand by what I said
we agree to dis agree.
Not shocking with the fact of more innings for the pen, and that most of them are soaked with gas. But all is well cuz we did not deal any of those prized prospects. |

Kyle Schwarber to make Boston Red Sox debut Friday night as DH; Marwin Gonzalez designated for assignment in roster shakeup
Updated 4:21 PM; Today 4:21 PM
By Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com
BOSTON -- The Red Sox are shaking things up a bit heading into their weekend series against the Orioles.
Boston will activate slugger Kyle Schwarber and designate utility man Marwin Gonzalez for assignment before Friday’s game, manager Alex Cora announced. Schwarber, who was acquired in a July 29 trade with the Nationals, will make his Sox debut Friday as the designated hitter, hitting sixth.
Schwarber, who has been rehabbing a hamstring strain suffered July 2 while playing for the Nationals, will make his Red Sox debut sooner than expected. Since joining the club, he has taken batting practice, worked out defensively and ran the bases, but has not appeared in a minor-league rehab game. Schwarber was supposed to play for the WooSox on Thursday but that game was rained out.
Friday will represent Schwarber’s first game action of any kind in six weeks, marking an unusual progression for an injured player. Cora pointed to 2016 -- when Schwarber tore the ACL and LCL in his left knee in April and returned to play for the Cubs in the World Series six months later -- and conversations with Schwarber in recent days as reasons why the Sox were comfortable with their aggressive return plan for the slugger.
“Knowing the way he behaved when he came back with the Cubs and knowing that, it makes us feel comfortable that was the right thing to do,” Cora said. “We’re very comfortable with it. And we’re still going to protect him. It’s not a rehab, big-league game or whatever, it’s a real big-league game, but we know he controls the strike zone, can hit the ball out of the ballpark and he’ll be smart about running the bases.”
Schwarber will exclusively DH for the next few days, Cora said, and the club hopes he can start seeing time in the field next weekend when the Red Sox play the Rangers at Fenway Park. When he’s ready, Schwarber will see time at both first base and left field.
“The plan is obviously to take care of him,” Cora said. “It’s one of those where we have to be smart and we’ve got other players we have to take care of throughout the process.”
Gonzalez signed a one-year deal with the Red Sox in February and made 77 appearances with the club, hitting .202 with two homers and a .567 OPS. The 32-year-old provided some value on defense, where he appeared at seven different positions, but had become an offensive liability.
“Tough one, obviously,” Cora said. “A guy we liked in the off-season. Versatile. It just didn’t happen offensively for us. That’s part of the business. You’ve got to make tough decisions.
“He was outstanding in the clubhouse, outstanding in the dugout,” Cora continued. “It was a grind for him physically throughout. Early in the season, his versatility and the way he played defense, he helped us win ballgames.”
Schwarber isn’t the only reinforcement the Red Sox will receive in the coming days. Outfielder Alex Verdugo will be activated off the paternity list before Friday’s game with Tanner Houck (temporarily) being optioned to the WooSox. On Saturday, Boston will activate ace starter Chris Sale from the injured list and welcome catcher Christian Vázquez back from the bereavement list.

But all is well cuz we did not deal any of those prized prospects.IMO, the only key add we needed at the deadline was a 1B. There wasn't a lot available. I was indifferent between Rizzo & Santana. Santana hasn't hit at all in August, so I'm good there. And Rizzo, imo, was just too expensive. |

Cordero and Santana
next guys to get the axe from the positional players
pen guys, half of them should be fired over the Green Monster. The BP will be: Barnes Ottavino Whitlock Taylor Sawamura Rios Richards Perez Brasier Hernandez That should be fine. Barnes is key, but we have plenty of talent in the BP. The first 6 have combined for an ERA of 2.99. |

Nice game. Pivetta's weakness is sudden implosions, so this is another good step forward. The Richards outing obviously. Good hitting from the bottom of the lineup. No limping from Schwarber.
