Replace him on the roster. Like if they were only carrying Varitek and Mirabelli and one of them pulled a hammy or groin, Mirabelli's two recent injuries and then they had to replace Mirabelli on the roster with Cash, mirabelli would be ineligible for the duration.

given that Wakefield isn't on the roster, and there is only 1 back-back game in the series (night game following day game) why is Mirabelli on the roster at all? Couldn't they have done Varitek-Cash, and assumed Varitek would catch the whole time? I guess there is a possibility of a 15 inning game or a Varitek injury, but those are edge cases, right?

They're edge cases, but almost every reason to go 25 deep in a 5 game series (over 8 days) is going to be an edge case. The Sox aren't exactly loaded with depth. Christ, Royce Clayton is on the roster (probably solely for a bunt situation).

I could see pinch-running for 'Tek late in a game, having Belli or Cash come in behind the plate, then being able to pinch-hit for their spot if it comes up again.

Can someone explain to me why they needed a rule disqualifying players? What type of shenanigans are they trying to prevent? I don't see it.

If I recall correctly, the old rule was that you could not replace a player in the middle of series for any reason (injured or otherwise). The new rule is that you can replace an injured player in the middle of a series but the injured player becomes ineligible for the subsequent post-season series.

I sure hope the Red Sox win the World Series since they are my favorite team. I hope the Yankees lose and have a outbreak of ruptured spleens.

So it looks like we get Ted Robinson & Steve Stone announcing? I guess it could have been worse.
