7/06 Jays @ SOX 7:10PM ET

[Maxbialystock]

JDM with his patented GIDP grounder, but he didn't hit it hard enough.

 

Fans at the game tonight should get a refund.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

At least Bello does have a good change-up, so there's that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Having a pitch count, having 4 days rest between starts, doesn't prevent some pitchers from having a tired arm nowadays.

[Old Red]

At least Bello does have a good change-up, so there's that.

 

Needs to have some kind of breaking ball, and better control.

[vegasbob]

Bello gets through 4 , needs some run support to get him off the hook for this one.

[vegasbob]

The defensive positioning against the Red Sox batters and the stay=up line drives continue to amaze me .

Smashing hard hit balls directly at someone isn't that easy, but of late the SOX have made it into an art form.

[Old Red]

Need 5 innings from the BP, which has really worked hard lately, and no Hansel to bail them out.

If there's a better all-around catcher in the AL this year than VAZ, I don't know who it is, Edited July 7, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

That's reGRETELable.

[a700hitter]

Bello will be back with the Woo Sox by this time tomorrow.

[Old Red]

That was the situation where JDM used to launch a 3 run HR or at least a scoring double. What a weak bouncer, almost doubled up.

 

Another 2 HR game from Schwarber tonight, which makes it 2 nights in a row, and 27 on the year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bello will be back with the Woo Sox by this time tomorrow.

 

Well, if the WOO SOX are going to contend this season, they're gonna need him.

[vegasbob]

2 outs, no one on and you walk the hitter, then it turns into a run. Bunch of 2 out pitchers, but no shutdowns. Then another 2 out walk, Sawnuts goes over 20 pitches and all hell may break loose now

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

3 out innings are just a wee bit too much for some SOX relievers.

Jose Trevino and alejandro kirk

[vegasbob]

So many shades of April showing up in early July , sad to watch

[d-money]

Christ this team is so awful against the AL East this year. Yankees are gonna embarrassed this team.

[a700hitter]

Sawamura needs to go with Robles. He's a disaster.

[Old Red]

S O U R M A N tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sawanara still hasn't been bad enough to have Cora the genius remove him.

[vegasbob]

Hit a f'ing SLAM and end this miserable game.

[a700hitter]

Jose Trevino and alejandro kirk

Kirk is a lousy catcher. He's more of a DH.

[FredLynn]

Bello will be back with the Woo Sox by this time tomorrow.

 

Bello might some day turn into a decent RP unless he can command a third pitch. Throwing hard alone isn't going to cut it in MLB. This team is racing towards the bottom now. I think its likely a fourth place team by years end. I know the Yankees and Jays are better and so far the Rays are better too.

Everyone has an opinion, they're like *******s.

When you say the Rays and Jays are better, do you really mean less mediocre?

JD in such a funk he doesn't even know he K'ed until the HP ump texted him.

I think being mediocre is even worse than being bad. At least if you are truly bad you have a chance to improve by getting good draft picks. The Jays are a good team. The Rays......less mediocre is a term I can live with.

JD's like a faulty Roomba that keeps bumping into furniture.
