Exactly! Having a day for himself day in the 2 slot coming up with plenty on runners on base.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Story can't even hit a position player 

[jad]

Damn.  Position players must get a lot of work on the mound for Baltimore

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The only thing missing from  this current O's team is Chris Davis.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe the Sox could have Sogard pitch the 9th.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This will definitely pad the team's offensive stats.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Trade Story while he's hot.

[vegasbob]

The next poster who uses run differential as proof of the Sox mighty offense needs to seek help.

[Nick]

Whatever you do, do not pitch Hendriks.

[vegasbob]

If MLB teams can use position players as mop up pitchers, then there ought o be a run rule as well.  When the oppo is down by 15  after the 7th inning, call the game

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This game has turned into a slow pitch softball beer league

Nice to see ( late arrival)  that Bullpen Burner Bello came through again, as many noted.  

Regrettably there is no cure for his inefficiencies , especially with better pitchers on the IL .  

I'm sure the answer will be, just try harder and be better.   Good idea.

One thing's for sure, the Sox do score a lot of runs when Bello starts.

No one deserves it more...or is it less ?

Last 4 starts for Bello.

4.0-4.1-4.2-4.2 innings. Maybe Fitts takes his spot, or not.

Not a happy day for Oriole fans:

What a disappointing season for a franchise that won 101 games with a young club two years ago and 91 games last year.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In 1953 the Sox scored 17 runs in one inning against the Tigers. The record is 18 by the Chicago White Stockings in 1883.

If Fitts fits that's fine.  Bello really needs a wakeup.  But he got paid so why worry ?

Of all the Sox with a PA in 1st game , who is the one that went 0-4 but did earn 2 BBs ?

Campbell, but more interesting is Toro's story line. PR, 1st base, and pitcher.

Did you see the AI post announcing that RS wide-receiver Refsnyder was banned for PEDs?

Leads MLB in RBI. That’s my DH!

Tough break on that new owner. They’ll always have the Cal Ripken drop in the Blair Witch Project.

Exactly! From setting records for futility to start the season to leading MLB in RBI is quite the ends of the spectrum.

[mvp 78]

Rain out.

[vegasbob]

Gives the BP an overnight to recover from Bello

I just saw a unicorn tonight. The Rockies beat the Yankems 3-2. Not exactly a unicorn, but pretty close.
