Bello vs Kevin Gausman. Sorry for having to set this up early but have to be in San Diego today , not available later. Gausman is 5-5 with a 4.08 ERA and lower WHIP than Bello.


Sox win last night did not look good until they won it late. But still a key win to claim the series.

Big test for Brayan Bello in this game. ERA has blown up to 5.00, despite a winning record of 6-4 . 63 innings in 12 starts defines the 5 inning starter which burns up BP's.

Criswell sent down temporarily , with 3 days off over next 3 weeks, to add to the BP. Who is coming in , Winckowski ?

Red Sox going for their 5th win which would match their longest win streak of 2024 , going back to the initial road trip March 31-April 5 when they beat the Mariners, A's 3 straight and followed up with 1 vs the Angels.

Bello is one of the few worrisome spots on the team right now.

This team is morphing right in front of us. They just took series from the Phillies and Yankees who have the best W-L records in MLB, and now they could sweep the Jays, who are right behind the Sox in the wild card race.

The pitching continues to be way, way, way better than we had any right to expect, especially after Breslow not only gave away Chris Sale, but agreed to pay most ($17M) of his salary this season. This makes him a candidate for dumbest CBO in MLB--in my opinion.

The hitting is coming around. The infield defense still stinks, but the baserunning slightly compensates.

Plus it's possible the Jansen call to Cora to put him in the freaking game was a call to arms. Who knows?

Big Papi-esque?

Could be. Both are big, been around the block, and spoke up.

It's a wrong opinion, but it's yours, so you've got that going for you, which is nice.

Fair enough. Right now Breslow, regardless of what anyone says about the Sale/Giolito/Grissom moves, has to be happy. No one wanted this job for obvious reasons, and right now the Sox look awfully good despite those moves, the injuries, etc. If this keeps up over the next month, especially with Casas and Abreu returning, Breslow can look at trade options with a minimum of pressure.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Top SOX pitching prospect, Luis Perales, will undergo TJ surgery. He's on the 40 man roster to protect him from rule 5.

[Maxbialystock]

Horrible Yoshida AB. Looked at two very hittable strike and swung at a pitch miles outside the strike zone.

[Maxbialystock]

Terrific comeback by Bello with 2 on and 0 outs. Maybe it helped McGuire was catching.

[Oscars]

Loving Hamiltons consistent line drive swing

[Maxbialystock]

2-0, Sox, but it's actually hopeless because Bello is, well, lucky. Comes the 4th, comes a reckoning. And, if not the 4th, certainly the 5th.

[d-money]

Bello looks very hittable. Idk.
