Woot!
I'm glad you like making game threads. LOL
I get it. We were talking about this earlier. On the one hand it would be nice to protect him from getting hurt in meaningless games. On the other, if teams start shutting guys down for that reason, it creates some possible issues for the integrity of the sport.

The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
The thing is that JD is here for one thing. To hit, and hit it hard. He can't run and he is a defensive liability.
At least Pablow could field his position, albeit generating seismic readings at the Weston Observatory. And he could run faster than JD.
Plus Pablow had comedic value.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Well, the more I make, the more it means we're winning!
Can we play spoilers against the Yankees? At least show up to this series and ruin it for them from winning the division.
If he were not 100% healthy, then shutting him down makes sense. But he worked his way back to health and pitched well. It's only 1 or 2 more starts anyway.
When he was working his way back, I initially posted that the Sox should just shut him down. I've changed my mind. The games might be meaningless to the Sox, but many of them are not meaningless to other teams.
Pablo definitely had comedic value to most of you guys.
It is time for the Red Sox to stop being the Yankees' punching bag.
Why do you think I have multiple screens?
On the other hand, JD had 2 great seasons and 1 great postseason for us.
Pablo had zero.

Had?
Who stopped?
Yes he did. It could be argued he was the best power bat in baseball those two years. For that he has some of my respect.
Now he just sucks. And sucks hard.
Trade him to some team that thinks they can fix him. Sox need pitching.
