Koji picked up the save tonight striking out two.

Is he just filling in until Bailey gets off the DL or is this a permanent move since Hanrahan is done?

I think its more of a committee/case-by-case thing with Koji and they have somebody else sharing closer duties. As far as I know they are following the same procedure as we did and trying not to pitch Koji on back to back days.

Tazawa was given their closer role after Hanrahan went down, but since he pitched a 2-inning save in Tampa just the day before Koji got the save chance.

(Koji would have looked awfully nice in our bullpen coming in to put out fires in the 6th or 7th)

When Tazawa came in, the Red Sox were down by two runs. They then scored 3 runs off of Rodney and Tazawa pitched the second inning for the win.

Bailey comes off the DL on Monday and will be placed back in the closer role. Tazawa was "named" the closer when Hanrahan and Bailey went down, but has yet to receive a chance. Since Tazawa went two innings the day before, they turned to Uehara.

      Considering how well they played in May, it gives some room for a bad stretch. And by bad stretch I mean that if they play .500 for the month of June I would be satisfied. I only say that because the last home series left the impression that regression is in order. Not to sound like a downer, but the division is still too much to expect. So as long as they can keep pace in the wild card standings then it’s a respectable season.

      Is Adley’s defense noticeably worse this year?

      Thanks I think I see what you are referencing (attached below) but I just have a problem with the metric.   Here is another question for the group:  why is there a such a strong correlation between good pitching staffs (chiefly starters) and  "good" catchers especially in the attached framing reference.  Is it the pitcher of catcher?  To me it's difficult to "siloize" pitching and catching stats.  Chicken or the egg?  I'll submit that better pitchers make better catchers and especially aid in framing-also baserunning, WP/PB-really every measure of catching. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/catcher_framing?year=2023&team=&min=q&type=catcher&sort=4,1  https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/catcher-blocking?players=592663-2023-143&selected_idx=0

      Does Kole Calhoun fit the bill over Vavra?  He just opted out… https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/06/kole-calhoun-yankees-opt-out-free-agent.html

      Slugging % and line drive % are still way down.    He’s still a great player and will continue to be a great hitter. Doesn’t offer much in the field. Does he get $400M+ in FA?  I’m not so sure.

      Maybe the Os can pivot away from the recent stretch of poor baseball.  SF is not a great team, although they have been playing better lately.  The Brewers have been struggling a bit recently, but overall are a decent team.  Hoping they can at least go .500 over this road trip.

      Probably but not because you are wrong..more like because of how the team operates. I would also think they want to give him a few more at bats. So, best case scenario, if he is back on the lineup next week, is June 20 but that’s also a 2 game trip in TB followed by an off days.  So, maybe they debut him at home on 6/23. Assuming he has no setbacks, there is no legit reason for him not be here around then unless he comes back and looks awful and very rusty because of the time off.
