5/04 Jays @ SOX 6:10PM ET

[d-money]

Seems like bello is still overthinking despite having the big lead.

[iortiz]

Bello is collapsing.

[vegasbob]

Alex, time to stop this BS now . Jays will nibble you up if you don't get the next 2 outs

[d-money]

Bello still looks like a work in progress. Not good.

[d-money]

Bello still freaking terrible! I think he will be send down soon.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

OB's not announcing, he's praying.

[iortiz]

Bello’s problems are mental. You just can’t throw 4 straight balls to their 9th hitter with a 8 run lead. It’s absurd.

Good idea, because the SOX farm has a ton of pitchers major league ready.

Idk if he tips his pitches but location is another thing with him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What's the latest on Paxton, or whatever name he's using now?

Pitching in Worcester tomorrow to se if he can duplicate his prior good outing . If so it will be musical chairs in Boston. Someone will need to go down. Bello could easily be the one since he will be between starts and may need his index finger nail to heal a bit.

[d-money]

They need a shutout inning here.

Bello is a two pitch pitcher ar this point, so there's not a lot of tipping going on. Bello is still working on a decent slider. He's the most promising pitcher to be developed in the SOX farm in years. Take that anyway you want, because I know that's a low bar.

Waiting for Guffman. Are you saying he may arrive?

He needs to get to Boston so he can hurt himself again…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike with a nice play.

[vegasbob]

Sox running on Jays, like Orioles are in their pants

Need another shutout inning.

[vegasbob]

Kike making us forget Nomar and X . No, not really but he is making the plays needed so there is that.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kike keeps rolling out the web gems.

[d-money]

Christ throw strikes man. Four run lead.

[vegasbob]

I see that Boston has scored 7 or 8 runs 5 times in our last 7 games, most since Splinter started the game thread.

 

Splendid , what is it that stops you at 8 ? #9, the GOAT of the Red Sox , wants 9 runs. Don't stop now.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'll probably come to deny this later in the season. I hope not. But is it possible Bloom is a genius?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One thing's for sure about this current team; the LH hitters are awesome.

[moonslav59]

Some hits have looked kinda lucky, tonight, but some outs have been hard one.

Some nights all you're gonna get is 8 runs. It's disappointing, but none of my current powers can change that.

Deny it now. Bloom is riding the surf of some guys who dogged it in ST and first 20 games who have suddenly come alive and playing lights out. The one guy he paid off big time is in a slump. In a more serious tone, i think Cora actually got in the head of a few guys like Duran and Verdugo , and worked on Yoshida's swing to turn the lower end of the order around. Remember that about 2 weeks ago we were starting lineups with 5 guys hitting below .200 . Casas is the next one for a checkup in the office.

Even some of the deals from a while back, that some judged before the return players played their full team control years, are looking better.

 

Winckowski-Beni (The Cordero aspect soured many.)

 

Dugo&Wong- Betts (Downs sucking distracted from the real prizes)

 

Valdez& Abreu- Vazquez (Vaz was never going to be re-signed.)

 

I won't go so far as to say Hamilton is bettering the Renfroe trade, but who knows?

I deny nothing. Until I deny it. Btw, there's a video on youtube from a couple years ago that's titled "Bloom is the smartest GM in baseball." It's supposed to be non-fiction.
