8/29 Red Sox at Twins 7:40PM

[iortiz]

Schreiber should have pitched up and in.

[vegasbob]

I'm probably wrong but Schreiber has struggled his last few outings.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This team is awful

Unwatchable

Outta here

 

Never known Fred to give up on the SOX before.

Let him learn to pitch in the minors and polish up his game before he gets to the bigs. He isn’t ready. Edited August 30, 2022 by a700hitter

I believe the last starter that was ready from the SOX farm was Kopech.

Sounded like he made a really good pitch and Ursela was just better. Also sounded like he struck Ursrla out and once again didn’t get a call.

I am tired of hearing what a great pick up Schreiber is. Next season he will be middle inning cannon fodder.

[vegasbob]

It's not even a rant or unhinged bitching, but this game is so typical of 2022 Red Sox. Get men on base, leave them there, a couple mental mistakes, starter can't even get 5 innings, bullpen can't close a 2 out, 3-2 count, walks all over the bases , Devers and JDM can't find the pitch to hit . That's just the reality, another winnable game in jeopardy of being Bello's 4 th straight loss.

You got a better option right now?

I have seen lots of kids debuting as pitchers and you can see their talent from miles. I don't see that on Bello.

 

As you said, he needs to polish his "stuff" if he has it. Sorry, I just don see it —yet.

And Meals hasn’t helped tonight. He extended Bello a couple of times earlier in the game and Schreiber on two pitches last inning.

Or was it Buchholz?

[d-money]

Bello has been a complete bust up in the majors. Bad location etc.

[iortiz]

You got a better option right now?

 

That's another topic of debate mate.

[iortiz]

And Meals hasn’t helped tonight. He extended Bello a couple of times earlier in the game and Schreiber on two pitches last inning.

 

Thats's fairly true.

[vegasbob]

Thats's fairly true.

 

Yes, Meals definitely squeezed Bello and Schreiber at bad moments. His positioning behind the catcher is extreme and blocks his view or low corner pitches.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Going to the SOX farm system for pitching is like going to Ireland for its cuisine.

[vegasbob]

Well , obviously Zach Kelly was the answer all along. Ks 100% of the hitters he faces

[iortiz]

Yeah but still our pitchers didn't get the job done specially Bello who couldn't pitch a single strike.

[iortiz]

LOL! is it that bad?

[a700hitter]

They're not doing him any favors bringing him up before he is ready.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nothing wrong with the SOX BP that two out innings wouldn't fix.

The Twins have the same Ump

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

LOL! is it that bad?

 

I believe the number one dish in Ireland is Salmon. Yes, it's that bad.

[a700hitter]

You would be wrong; he’s got the stuff to be a #3 or even a #2 if he can add another pitch.

A #2? Maybe the kind of #2 in the bathroom. He is never going to be a #2 on a .500 team.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Stats nerds must be working overtime. Duran has the highest velocity on splitters. Edited August 30, 2022 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

It’s not just the pitchers. Verdugo and Devers both made idiot plays. The team isn’t showing up mentally ready to play.

That’s on the manager.

well seems like that zone of the world has a bad reputation regarding food.

 

Quoting Zappa's in Strictly Genteel (The Finale)

 

"Lord have mercy on the people in England

For the terrible food these people must eat..." LOL

That's what I've been saying here and there. This team has been poorly managed this year reason why Cora has to go IMO.

SOX announcers lied in the past and said Sawamura had the highest velociy splitter.
