Marlins (Quantrill) vs Red Sox (Bello): 8/16/25, 4:10pm

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

This Marlins' team will never cause a pitcher to throw too many pitches. They swing early and often.

[FredLynn]

One more guy gets on an Bello is history 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bregman's barehanded pickup and throw is an art form.

[vegasbob]

Just extend Bregman now +3 years, allow for a 45 day IL each year

[Larry Cook]

Bello runs out of gas ???

Similar to Story's 1st 3 years with the Sox .

[Maxbialystock]

Why does the freaking camera keep going back to Bello with a towel on his head?  

Wilson does the job--a K and a foul popout.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice job by Mr Wilson.

45 days out of 180 is miniscule compared to Story's missed games.  

That said, 45 days just might work, but how can anyone be sure it isn't more?

You know, Max. more or less, it all evens out

Matz may become a keeper. He wastes no time nor pitches

He's a 34 yr old veteran who knows how to throw strikes.

[FredLynn]

Campbell sucks. Get someone up in the pen NOW

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Campbell is a perfect example why Woo is the last place one looks for pitching.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora sees something he likes in Campbell.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Campbell=DFA

[Larry Cook]

Campbell is a train wreck 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Slaten is the reliever version of Paxton.

[vegasbob]

Campbell sucks and further stresses Chapman. 

I C better be gone tonight. There's a room vacancy at the Lazy Arms in Worcester

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sad they had to use Chappy.

Campbell came for Alcalá. Basically ass for s*** move.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Between Hicks and Campbell no lead is safe enough not to turn into a save.

When it comes to pitching, Woo has been full of s°°° for a long time.

No walks for Bello was sweet.

I Campbell was a promising get via trade, but he looks like toast, now. Gotta think Criswell, Murphy or Bernardino can do better.

I'm hoping this Story is the true Story.

Abreu fell below .800, and Romy is slipping a bit, too.

This game got a little too close for comfort, but a win is a win.

SEA lost and the Yanks are losing.

We all understood why from the get go.  Why is he still there if he can be sent to Worcester and be available on one day's notice or even the same day?  

Narvaez still needs more rest. Do we need DHam, Grissom, Eaton or Sogard? I'd love to see Jh Garcia, but we already have too many OF'ers on the 26. The only non-pitcher guy I'd call up would be KC, and that would be for Toro, but I could see keeping Toro on the bench over a 3rd catcher.

Having 3 catchers does allow for a PH for the .441 Wong.

That's all I got. I'd be fine with cutting Sanchez loose, but he's out of options, so AAA is not a choice, unless he clears waivers.

Criswell and Uberstine are okay, but yes, pretty lame.

We have used 31 pitchers, already- many from Woo. 2 were everyday players (Toro & Eaton) and 4 are gone (Newcomb, Fulmer, Alcala & Burdi, and then there was Priester- UGH-LEE!

These guys started in Woo and were called up and gave us this: (listed by most IP)

4.13 Dobbins

4.83 Fitts

3.05 Murphy

3.57 Criswell

4.15 Guerrero

3.86 Winckowski

Under 10 IP: I Campbell, Stock & Moran

Bello & Gio started the season on the IL and then did some rehab in Woo.

The Yankmees are now ahead. 
We do have several players who are slipping, as you noted. 
Rafaela is at .731 OPS and 101 OPS+, both of which I can live with as long as he’s in CF. That means Romy at 2B and hopefully we can find someone besides Toro to play 1B. Maybe Mayer will get well. Then he can move to 2B. Toro has become useless.

Pretty good.  Thanks.
