Bringing up Livan instead of Mayo is an absolute joke.

How many more days until another Mayo promotion keeps him under 45 service days and rookie eligible for 2025?

I believe Mayo earned 13 days of service, and thus could get 31 more without losing rookie status.  August 29 would be the earliest he could be called up and be short of 45 days even if he remains on the roster until the end of the season.  

I think hoping for a ROY award and thus an extra draft pick next year would be a poor reason to keep him down now, though.   If the service issue is the only reason to keep Mayo down, then just bring him up now and send him back when Mountcastle comes off the IL.  And, I think the ROY possibility is remote enough where it’s not worth playing that game.

Sports Guy views players who have been on the team for a few years like Leonardo DiCaprio views women over the age of 25. 🤣

I agree that it wasn't a good choice. I just find it amusing that when guys make "bad choices" and it works out folks are quiet.  Or when folks make bad choices at unimportant times. Some fo

He is at 13 days now so he has 31 days he can use.  I expect he is back up by the Rockies series and stays the rest of the way as the extra guy in September.

They're probably more influenced by the fact he didn't look like a major league 3b and he hit .059 with a 50% K rate.

They probably are adding him as the extra guy in September so he would be on the roster the rest of the way.  You bring him up now and have to send him back he has to stay down 10 days.  I expect they prefer the couple days now then the 10 days in September.

I have to say, Emmanuel Rivera was not impressive defensively at either 1B or 3B yesterday. If that’s what we’re going to get from him defensively, I’d rather let Mayo cut his teeth.

You might be right, but it seems a pretty big ask to throw a rookie into a pennant race like this and ask him to outperform even a AAAA type.

I had heard it was supposed to be Mayo, but I wonder if the trip to the play the Dodgers on the West Coast had anything to do with it?    

 

As much as I am a favor of bringing him up and playing him every day, I wonder if they are weary of playing 3 rookies in the middle of a pennant race isn’t best. I personally 1000% disagree because Mayo can’t be much worse than Rivera or Soto.

He didn’t just struggle he looked incompetent at every facet of the game. 
 

Since going down on 8/15 he’s 6 for 21 (2 XBH) 3 BB & 8 K (33%).  Not terrible, but not setting the world on fire.  
 

I think he has a little work to do at the plate and a lot of work to do in the field before they bring him back.  I don’t think he’s in the playoff plans.

Is he getting reps at first?

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      There were men on 1st and 3rd with one out  O’Neil hits a homer 12% of the time vs lefties which is what they would have been needed to win the game.  A single just puts the winning run on 2nd maybe third most likely in Fenway a double won’t score him with the wall unless he hits it the other way which he doesn’t do.  As good as he is he still just gets a hit 33% of the time Yoshida  even though he doesn’t hit well vs them doesn’t strike out and he has 5 GIDP in 385 plate which ranks him 155th out of 178 qualified hitters with 400 at bats.  So the chances of getting a double play are very slim.   In order to win the game you have these scenarios and percentage based on splits.   1 O’Neil to hit a homer 12%  2. O’neil to get a hit 32% and Yoshida get a hit 20%(30% if Refsynder pinch hits) or Jansen to get a hit 25% 3. Walk O’Neil  20% Yoshida gets a hit or 25% Jansen gets a hit  So statistically it shows these percentages for Boston to win Pitch to O’Neil and he homers 12%  Pitch to O’Neil and they get two hits to win 14%  Walk him and face Yoshida and Jansen and one of them get a hit 22%  That is without factoring in wild pitch walk or an error which makes walking him a worse decision.

      That's how everyone should be looking at it. Yet, inexplicably, there are people here who think we should have more wins because...Hyde.

      That loss eliminated them from playoff contention. He also keeps his signing bonus. Maybe pro ball wasn't his dream? Still a crap thing to do to his teammates.

      By e16bball · Posted

      I think the other thing is that you have to know a little bit about Dean’s personality in these press scrums.  I think he’s a very bright guy. And I think he has a tendency to come off like…someone who knows he’s a very bright guy. He can get a little dismissive and sarcastic if they ask questions he thinks are dumb. A little bit of the hipster style “well, ACTUALLY…” He does it to some degree earlier in this same interview, when they asked if he was frustrated about the two out walks and his response was basically “I actually don’t like any walks in general.” I think that’s what happened here. I think he perceived it as a dumb question, and I think his response is mostly just him politely explaining why it was a dumb question to ask him.

      I'm not a fan of the way Hyde handles the bullpen and his (or are they the FO's) lineups often drive me nuts. Having said that, he's done a really good job overall as the O's skipper. If somebody told you at the beginning of the year we'd lose half of our top pitchers to injury and our hitters would be one of the worst teams with RISP would you think we'd only be two games out of 1st place in mid-September?
