"I think we should stop talking about October to be honest with you. There's a lot of stuff going on and we have to play better. I'm not saying we're in a bad spot, but I think we have to wait to see if October is part of this."
"Because he wasn't on the roster by September 1, Brebbia won't be eligible to pitch in the postseason, though with a stat line like that, it's unlikely the Red Sox would want him to."
"If the collapse does materialize, it won't the fault of Garrett Crochet, Lucas Giolio, and Brayan Bello, who have carried the team in the second half. It's the rest of the roster that's let the team down."
John Brebbia, a 35-year-old Massachusetts native, signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox and is currently in Worcester. He has thrown 23.1 innings this year for the Braves and Tigers, posting a 7.71 ERA while allowing 28 hits, 12 walks and recording 26 strikeouts. Because he was not on a roster by September 1, he is ineligible for postseason play. The Wild Card race has tightened, with the Rangers two games back and the Red Sox, Astros and Mariners effectively competing for the final spots. Garrett Crochet, Lucas Giolio and Brayan Bello have been key second-half performers while other roster pieces, including Ceddanne Rafaela and struggling bats, have disappointed. Alex Bregman suggested the team simplify and reduce excess energy.
