I believe we're both on the same page regarding '60's music. Damn, there was a ton of excellent albums during that period. I can't believe I left Pet Sounds off my list.

So Bello is the guy who gives up a .340 BA to hitters AFTER going 0-2 on them.   That tells you something. 

This time he walks a guy after being ahead 0-2 and then gives up an HR on a lazy slider.

Bello reminds me of that offbrand battery, NEVER READY

I could easily dislike him as much as I did Devers .  Must be something about DR millionaires .  Papi  and Pedro must cringe at these  younger players

[vegasbob]

Red Sox LH hitters just LUV that sweeper action. Like ice cream on a hot day.

There's no separation in his pitches. His changeup at one point was his best pitch.

Another low IQ (baseball wise) pitcher.

 

[Hitch]

I love watching Mayer play. The game never looks too fast for him on either side of the ball. 

Got real high hopes for this kid.

[Hitch]

There's been a lot of weird (and at times uncomfortable) s*** talked about DR players this past week or two.

[vegasbob]

Abreu and Story come through in the bottom 8 to get the lead for Chapman to close.  

Encouraging to pull this game out .  Bello is up for a win after all and did not burn the bullpen  .

5 IP, 2 ER.  Maybe you spoke too soon. 

[Hitch]

Good win. Bello was good again. Get the sweep tonight and things will feel a lot better. 

[Nick]

Great job by Bello today. I jumped on him early when he gave up two runs.

I am very often WRONG.

He stunk his first at bat vs lefty Sam Moll.  But I agree he and Anthony both look like the real deal.  If they are this season, Devers will be a distant figure in the rear view mirror.  Already the Sox have 1 too many outfielders, and I'm not including Ref.  

Pitching overall was excellent for the Sox.

We all are now and then, and it's great when we are wrong in underestimating a player.

I would have started Bello tonight, but I'm guessing Cora brought in Bello because he wanted to nail down a win now.  Day off tomorrow for the bullpen to rest.

Good point about Abreu and Story.  The Sox have a deeper lineup than they are given credit for.

Agree on the changeup.  Where the heck is it?  Not sure intellect is all that important for a pitcher.

Great songs and great artists. I'm not a fan of the Buckingham/Nicks version of Fleetwood Mac, although I did enjoy the music of the original band.

[Nick]

Best thing about Bello's outing was he got through  five innings with 62 pitches, 40 for strikes.

I'll take that everytime.

Any of the big 3 of Hendrix blows all of these away. (responding to original post; Moon got Experience  (i would have listed Axis)  and of course Velvet Underground.)

I like the older, bluesier Fleetwood Mac, more too, but this song grabs me hard. The Buckingham solo versions are awesome.

Great Songs!

I started out with a top 10 song list, and ended up with 30, and that was way too short.

I had to leave so much off.

Funny you mention "Moon got experience." On my album "Are You Experienced," I wrote on the cover, (My name_ "_____  ______'s got experience" under the title.

Blows all of these away? I seriously doubt that. Hendrix was iconic, but so were most of those other artists.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Some songs from the 60's that come to mind.

Waterloo Sunset -----Kinks

I Can See for Miles---Who

Dazed & Confused ---LZ

Purple Haze -----------Hendrix

Paint It black ---------Stones

Homeward Bound---S & G

Helter Skelter --------Beatles

Time of the Season ---Zombies 

My White Bicycle -----Tomorrow

California Dreaming ---M & P

You're Gonna Miss Me--13th Floor Elevators

Grapevine -----------Marvin Gaye

Love Child------------Supremes

You Keep Me Hanging On--Vanilla Fudge 

Waiting For The Man----VU

Born On The Bayou -----CCR

 

 

 

[moonslav59]

Very nice list! I shoulda stuck to the 60's.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey.

[Duran Is The Man]

60's? damn, you guys are old.
