Bello probably won't face a weaker line-up than the Marlins.

 

Go SOX!

[wyo-sox]

Been a while since I did joined a game thread. Figured I"d see if there any good conversation going on- I fear Bello will not provide much positive discourse... but here is to hoping he turns thing around... this is the team to find your stuff against.

[FredLynn]

Send him down. He has the talent but right now he absolutely sucks.

Three hits and a run already.

I hope he has the talent.... haven't seen much to convince me. I HATE playing guys that aren't playing well just because we committed a bunch of money to them.

[FredLynn]

13 pitches

3 for hits

Send him down before they permanently ruin him

Good to see the great Bill Mueller as a coach in the SOX dugout. Edited July 4, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Good thing you don't have a vote. My reaction to those 3 hits was the same as yours, but I wanted to see more before saying anything. Even with the balk, he held Florida to just the 1 run and then set them down in order in the 2d inning.

 

Right now I'm more worried about the Sox weak hitting with RISP.

You mean the ball that wasn’t a balk?

[Maxbialystock]

Big hit by Rafael Devers! He really battled 2d time around and hit that grounder hard. I think they say it's a hit.

[FredLynn]

That’s the second time Smith watched a call third strike right down the middle with runners in scoring position.

[vegasbob]

Dom Smith not only looks sleepy, but he sleeps through the AB. 2nd time taking strike 3 with men on. Pull the trigger, Dom, you have nothing to lose , buddy, but your team does.

Welcome back, you always had some good observations from the Cowboy perspective.

[vegasbob]

Quite an athletic DP by Rafaela

[d-money]

It’s so frustrating watching this guy pitch.

[d-money]

Need more offense.

[d-money]

Can’t trust bello to hold a lead. The guy’s terrible.

[FredLynn]

Can’t trust bello to hold a lead. The guy’s terrible.

 

I think he has a promising future but I’d hate to see the team ruin him by allowing him to lose confidence.

[wyo-sox]

Lol- well while I am from Wyoming.. nobody has ever accused me of being a cowboy.

[Maxbialystock]

Can’t trust bello to hold a lead. The guy’s terrible.

 

You’re an idiot. Why insist Bello stinks when he’s been pitching well? We all know how he’s struggle this year, but he also has 3 quality starts.

[Maxbialystock]

You don’t gain or regain confidence sitting on the bench.

[FredLynn]

You don’t gain or regain confidence sitting on the bench.

 

Exactly

That’s why if he continues to struggle he should be sent down to work out the kinks before he loses confidence.

[d-money]

Do you watch the games? He has gotten out of trouble tonight. He has stunked in 4 of his last 5 starts.

[d-money]

Exactly

That’s why if he continues to struggle he should be sent down to work out the kinks before he loses confidence.

 

He tends to overthrow at times. Adrenaline. Loses control. He has battled tonight i will give him that.

[Maxbialystock]

Do you watch the games? He has gotten out of trouble tonight. He has stunked in 4 of his last 5 starts.

 

Of course I watch the games. And my point is that tonight you are blinded by those previous games and can't see that Bello is actually pitching well tonight. You ought to be ashamed of yourself because he's our pitcher and has given up 1 run in 5 innings in a 2-1 game. Bello is the reason the Sox are leading.

[Maxbialystock]

Exactly

That’s why if he continues to struggle he should be sent down to work out the kinks before he loses confidence.

 

Are you serious? Tonight he's gone 5 innings and given up 5 singles and 1 run. And you want to send him back to Worcester.

He has gotten out of trouble. He has battled. Don’t think his stuff has been great tonight though. We have different opinions.

[d-money]

Are you serious? Tonight he's gone 5 innings and given up 5 singles and 1 run. And you want to send him back to Worcester.

 

 

He’s not getting send back for the simple fact we have no one else.

[FredLynn]

One more bad outing and yes, I’d send him down. Remember: this team will likely finish in last place and almost certainly out of the playoffs. We are already playing for next year or the year after. I wouldn’t want a promising prospect to lose confidence with this group of bums.

[vegasbob]

The Sox should be up about 5-1 and securing the series win. Leaving LoBsters all over the basepaths.

 

Never let teams like Miami hang around too close. They can bite you.

[Maxbialystock]

Rafaela triples and Duran and Refsnyder can't bring him home. So who do we blame? Bello, of course.
