Hopefully, SOX offense can stay hot.

Nice going Bello. Grooving a pitch to Dugo. Dumb ass.

My reaction too until I saw Gil serve up similar pitches to get Sox hitters out. I do not think the Sox are good at hitting fastballs over 95 mph. And that's what Bello was throwing at the Yankees, who sent them back faster than they came in. Both Gil and Bello were throwing heat at about 97 mph.

Note: fastball in the the geometric center of the strike zone--swing and a miss by Devers for the K.

Every team needs a #5 starter.

D.Smith is Casas' fault.

Dugo with the Yankems will be just as big an asshole as Boggs was as a Yankem.

You mean the same #26 in red on the RF parapet ?

What player has his # on more than one team's honor wall?

[moonslav59]

Not much fun at all, tonight.

Gotta bounce back, next game.

Mother nature was not at the meeting.

The best laid plans, etc.

Not much doubt in my mind that Duran misplayed a catchable ball off Soto. So what if the ball hit the wall above him, it's a double either way.

Damn, I dislike Bello

That wall is hard, and right now Duran, in this season of endless trips to the IL, leads the Sox in games played, total bases, and WAR (3.8).

Were I Cora, I would have told Duran when he came in from left fied, "nice move. Don't go near the Monster unless you are sure you won't bump into it. If Drew Barrymore or some other damsel in distress shows up, that's a different story."
