Facing a tough lefty, today. I wonder if Cora keeps Contreras 2nd and Abreu 3rd (.842 v L, this year in a SSS.)

 

[moonslav59]

Story to DH today. Duran & Mayer sit vs the tough lefty. Wong at catcher, again.

1. Anthony LF

2. Monasterio SS

3. Contreras 1B

4. Story DH

5. Abreu RF

6. Rafaela CF

7. Durbin 3B

What are the chances Bello gives up negative runs today?  I could handle a 0-(-1) game…

It's games like these, where the pitching match-up and line-up presented looks like our odds are long that we seem to do well.

Maybe it's just a feeling that this happens more often than it does, but I'm thinking we win, today.

I see that a lot.  The dude with the 6.14 going against the guy with the 2.22 and you'd think the odds would be off the table.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe Bello s/b the Sox #6 starter.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

I just wanted to sit down on a Saturday afternoon with a beer and watch the ballgame... 

... but instead in the very first inning, we get Bello, The King of inKonsistency: Rip, K, Rip, BB, K, BB, GO.

He's literally killing me -- forget the brew, I'm chain corn-chipping.

 

[illinoisredsox]

Nice economical 35 pitch first for Bello.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If there was ever a high potential for a no-hitter, this would be the game.

[Oscars]

Bello has mastered the first pitch of an AB is a ball

[mvp 78]

Skubal gonna be perfect today?

[mvp 78]

Bello no longer cruising, OB.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Didn't see that coming. One run was enough; now Detroit's piling on.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

40 to nothing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Pedro has blocked all Bello's calls.

[Deja Doh]

Lucas Giolito is available.  Justin Wilson is available.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Anyone on the farm ready to be the Sox #5?

[mvp 78]

Grape job with bases loaded there

Grape might just be the right adjective.  That had all the fortitude of grape jelly.

[mvp 78]

At least Moran is playing well

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That this Sox ?offense? got one run off of Skubal was a remarkable achievement.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does anyone here ever remember a weaker Sox offense than this current one?

[Duran Is The Man]

the Giants hit a home run today breaking the tie with the Red Sox for DEAD LAST in MLB. the Sox have all of 12 home runs. the Pirates Brandon Lowe and Oneil Cruz, combined, have more than the entire Sox team. LOL. way to go Brez, you f***ing stiff.

[Tedballgame]

Bello tries to nibble, nibble, nibble, but doesn't have the control to do it. He is afraid to challenge hitters. He is a big disappointment. He will pitch a good game once in a while like last week in St. Louis and then four or five bad ones. He cannot be trusted.

 

[Tedballgame]

Roman Anthony is also a huge disappointment so far. He does not look like a star.

Nope. Never. And I have been watching since 1965, This one is pathetic. No power whatsoever. Not one player in the lineup who scares the opposing team. A complete whiff by Breslow and the front office.

My feelings exactly and I've been following them since 1960.

He’s a 4th starter for the most part. Bad extension.
