First of all, Yolmer isn't that bad. He's actually had a fairly decent season for what he is.

As far as the rest of your post, because those are the guys on the roster. Outside of Colome and Bummer, the bullpen sucks and pretty much has all year. They've had MANY relievers on the Charlotte Shuttle throughout the year because they are all so terrible. I highly doubt Ricky went into Hahn's office on August 30th and begged for Covey and Palka to be brought up the next day. I said in another thread that Palka should be playing RF every day. He's up on the roster for some stupid reason, so let him play as a fuck you to Hahn/Kenny/whoever made the decision to bring up a guy who has 4 hits in nearly 70 at bats on the season.

...and the Indians are good. Clevenger is good. Even with the ass kicking last night, the Sox have a winning record vs the Tribe this season.

Yolmer is a fine platoon guy. Like a lot of Sox starters.

There's no reason to play him the last 6 games.

Play Mendick at second, have Collins catch, etc.

He is more utility than platoon.

There are some metrics indicating he is the best defensive 2B in baseball.

No power and doesn't get on base. He starts to become an expensive utility man this year unless they can negotiate something reasonable with him. He will be the starter on Opening Day again next year. He won't be on closing day.

Yeah utility is what I meant.

He's a good bench player on a playoff team.

Not if Mendick has anything to say about it. This kid can hit and has power. He can hit home runs and drive in runs. He also can steal a base. He can play 4-5 positions and is solid defensively. I love kids like this who were low draft picks yet has done well at every level. I also am not saying that Sanchez is bad. He is very good defensively but he is not a good hitter and has no power. I know that Rickey loves the guy because he looks to be a good guy in the locker room especially with the Hispanic players.

I also think his offense would be more appreciated as a pinch hitter. Big moments don't seem to worry him.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

THe guy is a .250 hitter

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Tim Anderson is gonna lead the league in hitting.

And Quintana has a four-and-a-half era, and you want the Sox to trade for him.

Giolito wins most improved and its not even close to #2. to go from the worst qualified starter to legit Cy Young candidate is insane.

Name the left handed starting pitchers in the NL who have won more games that Q during his time with the Cubbies.

Honestly, I don't know if he is third. I took a quick glance and those were the two that jumped out at me. Lester I knew had more wins than Q since mid-2017.


Quintana is coming off a 1-1 September, in which he managed to throw just 18 innings over 5 starts, with an 11.09 ERA and a 2.25 WHIP. THAT is the guy you want throwing in crunch time for the Sox?


Gee, I'd say your assessment of everything is pretty fucking stupid.

So the Sox are supposed to play a straight double header today. Weather is looking like they might get one game in at best. Would MLB seriously make these two going nowhere teams play a double header on the second to last day of the season, or the final day of the season? Is it even possible to call these two seasons complete at 160 games?

Ending the season with 2 double headers would be pretty interesting.
