The official Bellhorn thread

[riverside sluggers]

true he is able to get walks that then followed by power sox hitters. but just think about mueller, so far through 74 games, he has struck out a mere 30 times, having him in the #9 spot i bet would be hard for any pitcher, as i it is now for him in #8 position. Something Im hoping Francona plays with during the summertime, was checking transactions and in january sox had signed one year deals for both bronson and bellhorn...

[soxie thefangirl]

True. But why, when mentioning the free agents they never mention Bellhorn? And my friend said he's under the Sox through 2006.

[riverside sluggers]

guess misunderstood red sox's main website saying in january red sox signed him and bronson to one year deals, probably a club option for 2006

Bellhorn should be more aggressive at the plate. It does him a lotttt of good. Yesterday and now today.

Doesn't do much for his fielding, however.

[YanksHater213]

Hahah, lets just end this. Bellhorn is a little bitch with an outdated hair style.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Geez, you change avatars as much as Bellhorn strikes out!

[soxie thefangirl]

Wow come on, that error was so uncharacteristic. And he made up with it with the hit and the steal. Too bad the rest of our hitting was terrible.

 

And heeeey I like his hair. He's pretty hot.

[riverside sluggers]

fans arent used to bellhorn playing good consistently

[Sox fan in Tex]

I take back some of the things I've said about Bellhorn in the last few hours, during and after the game... it's just anger from a pretty horrible game. Not much you can do though, over 162 games you are going to have games like this, its going to happen. We'll be back tomorrow.

Not that I don't want hitters to be aggressive - but aggressive is what gets him struck out 180 times per year.

 

Matt

[soxie thefangirl]

He goes down looking a lot. He's been aggressive the past 2 days and he's been hitting.

[riverside sluggers]

what i noticed in philly, mark was keeping his eye on the ball the whole time--in fenway he was looking away as he swung, even looking away during the double play possibility

[soxie thefangirl]

He did take his eye off the ball during the double play thing. He was pretty upset about it in quotes 'cause he said he takes pride in it. But it's one game. And then Tito took him out to give him a break and Vasquez comes in and makes ANOTHER error, ugh.

[riverside sluggers]

i think theyre exhausted from the hard work they did to have a perfect road trip tied in with traveling. Trot made a rare missed catch, it wouldve been a RBI double if his glove had not touched it, felt bad seeing him kneel down with hands over his face

[sarasoxfan]

one good game and then a horrific game...

 

let's face it the guy sucks and wont be back next year, thank God.

[riverside sluggers]

hanley ramirez visiting the clubhouse last nites game got me goosebumps, hottest prospect there is in pawtucket. Contracts up at the end of this year are Embree (thank god), Millar, Mueller, Timlin, Bronson, Bellhorn, as well as Damon (((god as its getting close to december hearing big possibility of yankees signing him cuz they will need a center fielder next season))) please no johnny it will be roger clemens all over again, to see him in pinstripes and sitting in the yankee dugout sittin between arod and jeter makes me want to vomit seriously. Im holding out hope though

[YanksHater213]

Soxie, what the hell will you do when Bellhorn is gone? I've always wanted to know.

[soxie thefangirl]

Cry. Repeatedly. I don't know. I reallllllly will be sad when he's gone. I've met him a buncha times out, too, it'll be sad to see him go.

 

And on error does not a horrific game make. He was also one of three people to actually get a hit. Sadly he was stranded there when everyone else decided to strike out a bazillion times over.

[CrespoBlows]

He's gone after this year for Pedrioa, but he's still isn't this team's problem.

[soxie thefangirl]

I still don't see Pedroia starting next season. But whatever. We'll see.

[SchillingIsTheNatural]

I knew we were going to lose the game....with or without Bellhorn making that error. Thats just the way baseball goes. We blow them out at Cleveland with the same pitching matchup and they blow us out at fenway with the same pitching matchup...sports are fun like that.

 

The reason we lost was because of Kevin Millwood....give him credit he pitched well. On that note I still think we win the series and go on another 6-7 game winning streak. We just need to get to the all star break with a 3 game lead in the division.

[soxie thefangirl]

Yeah we do. And the way the O's are playing I can see it happening. In fact with this series, the Yankees look to overtake the O's. But as long as we stay ahead, we're good.

[DirtDog]

You can't blame a game on defense when you don't even score runs yourself.

[riverside sluggers]

an article on NESN is talking moreso about Hanley Ramirez's visit to the clubhouse, interview with Edagr saying hed really like to see Hanley come up next year and have a Ramirez/Renterria duo at second and shortstop

[soxie thefangirl]

Exactly.

Hanley needs at least another full season at Pawtucket. I'd prefer to see Hanley play CF in the majors so Pedrioa can play 2nd.

[riverside sluggers]

im just going by what I had read on nesn articles as well as other artciles on sports sites and newspapers. really tho, all indicating there will be a new second baseman for 2006

[soxie thefangirl]

Well we'll see what Theo actually does. He really likes Bellhorn and he's not going to push anybody who isn't ready for the Majors.

Well that might work if we lose Damon.
