Last time out (7 days ago) Bello went 7 innings, giving up 2 runs vs. the Angels, with McGuire catching. So I expect a good start tonight.

 

In his last 2 starts Lively went 6, giving up 2 runs vs St Louis, and went 5.2, giving up 2 vs. the Yankees. He had 8 K's in both games. So he could be tough.

MVP started a game thread.

[moonslav59]

We have two game threads.

 

Is that bad luck?

MVP started a game thread.

 

Thanks. By all means go with his.

[Maxbialystock]

We have two game threads.

 

Is that bad luck?

 

Only if anyone uses the other thread which was eons and eons too late.

 

mvp 78 be the man!

No, it gives us 2 chances to win, and more space to criticize the lack of hitting recently.

Ehhh, people kept posting in last game after I had posted the new thread. Easy mistake. No harm done. Without more active mods, no way to merge.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Is this the game where Devers becomes Devers again? Stay tuned.

No one on the SOX has ever faced Lively. OTOH, most of the Reds have faced Bello.

They are having no problem seeing his pitches and which ones to swing at.

[Maxbialystock]

It sure looks as though the very last thing Sox pitching coaches focus on is command, and by that I mean at all levels of the Sox system.

[Maxbialystock]

Looks like the bad Sox lineup is playing tonight.

[Maxbialystock]

So far Bello needs 10 pitches per out.

[Maxbialystock]

Bello's changeup breaks right, some, but not down. Very hittable.

[Maxbialystock]

Huge jump for the guy going to 2d--on a foul tip, thank goodness.

Command or control?

[Maxbialystock]

Command or control?

 

I use them interchangeably.

[Maxbialystock]

Two innings, 59 pitches for Bello.

[Oscars]

This years lineup can do the same as last years line up, score no runs with loaded bases

[Maxbialystock]

What a waste of men on 2d and 3d with no one out. Tapia's at bat was just stupid.

They’re not the same.

 

Control is the ability to throw strikes. Command is the ability to hit your spots within the zone…

Beni makes that catch and some people think he’s f***ing Willie Mays.

[Dipre]

They’re not the same.

You can have control without command (Carlos Zambrano) and command without control (Victor Zambrano)

Bello did his job. He was the opener. Lol

7 games in 6 days.....not a good start.
