B. Woodruff vs B. Bello

 

 

And there you have it; our 7/29 game thread opening post.

[mvp 78]

Anyone worried that they are going to Cla Meredith Brayan Bello?

[mvp 78]

I heard that Austin Davis will be an opener and Bello will come in after.

Possibly. I just went by the info supplied by the MLB schedule.

[JDavis76]

I think the question of the day is will bello be able to get his ERA under 10.00 today?

[Bellhorn04]

Anyone worried that they are going to Cla Meredith Brayan Bello?

 

I might be in that category.

[mvp 78]

Possibly. I just went by the info supplied by the MLB schedule.

 

MLB.com lists Bello as the starter. I just heard rumblings of Low Leverage Davis being the opener tonight. We'll see.

[mvp 78]

I might be in that category.

 

Tom Glavine threw a few stinkers in 1987, but Bello has yet to have one promising start. Not that Bello is at all in that category, just saying that early bad performances do turn around.

[Old Red]

I heard that Austin Davis will be an opener and Bello will come in after.

 

I love a good opener.

I'm sure Brewers fans will be roaming the streets of Boston all weekend. Same thing happened when the Cardinals were in town. The fans of these NL teams that aren't here very often sure like to make a weekend out of it, especially in the summer. I kind of like it though. It's fun to watch tourists get on the wrong train, not realizing that only 3 of the 4 green line trains lead to Fenway.

Gold Glover at second (when my son was 8 and first collected cards, Yolmer was his first favorite player because of the white-framed shades)

It’s very hard to muster up even a little optimism with this line-up and SPer, but I’m feeling that winning vibe that has been rare, of late.

 

I’m calling a win.

[Oscars]

Big news!

The Sox have signed the immortal Jose Peraza to a minor league deal.

The dumpster diving continues …..

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ is an artist in the OF. I doubt any other outfielder in MLB gets a better jump on the ball than JBJ. I'm pretty sure that's something that isn't coachable. It's a shame he's so unartistic at the plate.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The two teams that didn't have a win by a starter in a certain month did that during the months of April and September. Both of those months are shorter than July. Edited July 29, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Great job by Davis.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great job by Davis.

 

He seems to be a good opening act.

I don’t see it. They have a good SP going and we have….RPs and trash for a lineup.

The good news is that after this weekend even the Sox mgmt will see the handwriting on the wall.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is Yelich going to be the Chris Davis of the Brewers?

When he had those hot streaks, back in the day, he was going oppo field often. He’s lost that “ability.”

Don’t bet against my gut!

Duran is like a beer after a whisky shot---a chaser. Showing few signs of growth as a hitter

Flat and warm beer.

Sorry

I should know better by now 😉

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Back in the day when most teams didn't have a 9 or 10 guys in the BP, a player like Duran could stay on a team as a pinch runner.

Showing NO signs of growth as a hitter.

And JD has lost it. Can’t catch up to a fastball any more.

[vegasbob]

I hope someone told Brayan that Tellez was frequently Rowdy vs the Red Sox. Don't let him beat you.

[Oscars]

He seems to be a good opening act.

 

Bello looking good so far…..

[Oscars]

I don’t see Duran on next years team.

His bat is not MLB material, to go with his below average glove.
