Elton John on speaker phone.I’m jealous of whoever got to deliver the news.
So sad, so sad, it’s a sad sad situationElton John on speaker phone.
So a big FU to an entire community for a predictably weak start in an early June game in a lost season for a last place team? Interesting calculus.This DFAing was happening no matter what else happened today or previously, unless the guy threw a no hitter. He was up for the one start and is totally fungible and would be resigned by the team in ten days if he was still available and didn’t have other issues.
Matty you’re flying tonight, you’re DFA’dElton John on speaker phone.
Totally. A HUGE apology is needed by this team and soon.So a big FU to an entire community for a predictably weak start in an early June game in a lost season for a last place team? Interesting calculus.
Why stop there for Kluber?That puts BOS at 14 position players and 12 pitchers, and 1 of the pitchers is Kluber who can't throw for at least 3 more days. I'm guessing 2 more pitchers are added and Kluber and a position player are removed from the 26 man.
Or Chris Sale is hurt and they needed someone to eat a start rather than burning a valuable bullpen arm or creating more roster chaos. And even this would not have happened if they hadn’t been rained into playing Monday. I’m more troubled by the offense which seems to have collapsed under the weight of multiple nagging injuries.Totally. A HUGE apology is needed by this team and soon.
Yes. But not with this guy. Find Nate Minchey and use him, instead.Or Chris Sale is hurt and they needed someone to eat a start rather than burning a valuable bullpen arm or creating more roster chaos. And even this would not have happened if they hadn’t been rained into playing Monday.
5 innings on the 4th. So certainly a candidate to get called up.They could put Bleier on the 60 day. No big loss. Walter is terrible, and the two top bullpen AA arms both pitched today so I don't know what they can do internally. Anyone know when Drohan last pitched? I know he's not ready but they might need a bulk arm.
lol what? Is that last sentence for real?peteabe:
Dermody postgame: “I do regret the tweet in the sense that it came out hurtful and it hurt a lot of people. That’s the last thing I want to do is hurt people. A lot of people think that I’m against a certain group of people or whatnot. But I’m for everybody making it to heaven."
Politi pitched the past few nightsYeah, who do they call up? No one in Worcester is very good. Sheriff, Murphy, and Ort can’t come up unless there’s an injury, right? Are they gonna DFA Kluber to bring up Theo Denlinger, Andrew Politi, or Joe Jacques?
Translation: “I’m unemployed, won’t someone please give me a job? See? I’m not such a bad guy! Please?!”peteabe:

Isn’t he likely back to Worcester in a few days? Nobody is claiming this guy, which is why he was called up to make the start.Translation: “I’m unemployed, won’t someone please give me a job? See? I’m not such a bad guy! Please?!”
Genuinely laughed out loud.Wonder whether he'll show up on opening day 2024 to get his ring.
They need to put another pitcher on the 26, right? Unless they add another one to the 40 as well (doubtful) I think that only leaves Walter and Mata as options.peteabe: Dermody was DFA'd after the game, which makes room for Duvall on both the 40-man and 26-man rosters. Cora indicated there could be two other moves.
Does he not have the ability to reject the reassignment?Isn’t he likely back to Worcester in a few days? Nobody is claiming this guy, which is why he was called up to make the start.
Yes but Mata is hurt and Walter just pitched on the 6th, so doubt it’s either of them. If someone goes on the IL they could bring back Ort, Sheriff, or Murphy. Imagine they will want another lefty in the pen. Seems like Pivetta, Kluber, or Garza to the IL is most likely?They need to put another pitcher on the 26, right?

If it's a picher going on the IL, then that pitcher can be replaced by Sherriff(or Ort/Murphy), but that doesn't help with Dermody's pot. You can't call up two guys when only one goes on the IL.Yes but Mata is hurt and Walter just pitched on the 6th, so doubt it’s either of them.

Yeah, I get that. Duvall is replacing Dermody on the 40 and 26. For the other spot, I assume it’s a pitcher going on the IL and being replaced by one of the healthy relievers already on the 40.If it's a picher going on the IL, then that pitcher can be replaced by Sherriff(or Ort/Murphy), but that doesn't help with Dermody's pot. You can't call up two guys when only one goes on the IL.
Only option is if a position player goes on the IL, then I think they can have Sherriff replace the position player and then Duvall replace Dermondy.
He does not. You need 5 full years of major league service before you can refuse to be reassigned.Does he not have the ability to reject the reassignment?
And it's getting more and more absurd..So sad, so sad, it’s a sad sad situation
Yuck. Back to Worchester he goes I guessHe does not. You need 5 full years of major league service before you can refuse to be reassigned.
Especially when Kluber ended up throwing almost as many pitches as Dermody did. All they achieved by not starting Kluber is giving him another 90 minutes or so of rest.I don’t get why they just didn’t start Kluber and avoid this mess entirely.
It makes no sense unless the Sox truly don't care what kind of garbage they stuff in a uniform. Hey, let's go out of our way to give a big FU to fans for no reason whatsoever! I'm disgusted with the team.I don’t get why they just didn’t start Kluber and avoid this mess entirely.
This is fucked up shit. Really horrible for Bloom and quite likely this asshole holds all sorts of other trash beliefs too.peteabe:

Guys, see, he doesn’t want to hurt people. He just wants another entity to roast people for eternity in the fiery pits of hell. Cuz they had sex the wrong way. That’s all.peteabe:
