certainly not watching

They could put Bello on waivers. See if anyone is interested.

[alsoason]

well that is 5 dingers, yep I  can see 13 this weekend, might get 8 of them tonight

[iortiz]

Back to back hits by the Sox. Sky is falling!

Bello shouldn't be called at all.

He's next to go on the IL.

[iortiz]

Masataka Groundout Yoshida is officially back. 

[alsoason]

that is 6 out of the 13

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox still have time to get their 3rd run.

[alsoason]

elsewhere Pats take an edge rusher in the 2nd

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cora has a good chance of maybe being the first manager to win over 100 games in his first year of managing and to lose over 100 games in his last year of managing.

I’m going to watch the last 2 episodes of Season 1 of The Pitt.

l really feel I wasted $130 on the MLB. tv package.  There’s nothing interesting about this team..  if the youngsters were showing something, or one guy was hitting a bunch of homers.  But there isn’t.

[alsoason]

the other team does not need an OF with Durbin, either a K or groundout to the left side, like clockwork

There's an excellent crime series on Netflix called The Devil's Star. I recommend it highly.

I have been month to month with them for 3 years now. Have not nibbled this year

The last time the Sox lost 100 games was 1965. They were 62-100.

I'm also guessing that Durbin's best year is behind him.

Here's an ugly thought. What if Crochet's best year is behind him.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was a pity decision on the call at 2nd.

The pressure is off the Sox offense. They got their 3rd run.

[alsoason]

good night all

[Tedballgame]

This team is sooooooooooo bad.

[Oscars]

This team is a steaming pile of s hit

I feel the same way. This team is not worth watching.

[iortiz]

Reading The Orioles hit so many home runs off the Red Sox tonight that they ran out of fireworks in Baltimore. Not kidding. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I predict the Sux will score 4 runs tomorrow.

[mvp 78]

Bounce back start for Bello. Bounced all the way over the fence again and again.

Glad I missed this one. 🙏

Running back the same line-up, tonight.

With Anthony out, it is the correct lineup.

I’m a little behind on the broadcast and catching up, but I’m wondering if after that walk Bello looked at the pen (where no one is warming up). Cora saw that and I want to think Alex told him you’re eating this one tonight, so figure something out.

That was the only good move by Bobby Valentine.  He allowed Lester to be embarrassed by TO.  He pitched much better after that.

I didn't see any clearly better option, either.

The Red Sox owe Bryan Bello $50 million dollars. Basically, what they paid Giolito for one good regular season. But Bello is under contract -- and gets to pitch in Boston -- for at least four more years.... and then he has a player option for $21 million in 2030. Or the team has a buyout for $1 million dollars. Keep on smilin.

The least Cora coulda done is left Bello in to set a new record for home runs. He is the poster child of Cora's cryptic comments about locking up young talent to longterm contracts -- before they prove themselves.

If a guy isn't secretly hurt, then when we consider young multi-millionaires, there's always the question of hunger. Not to eat, but to continually drive themselves to succeed. Maybe, just maybe, that was the additional "dynamic" to which Cora was alluding.

Bello was an odd choice to lock up because he was never an elite prospect and never ranked by any scouting organization anywhere, which is really weird when you consider the same cannot be said about Henry Owens and Trey Ball. 
 

Move Bello to the bullpen and keep Tolle in the rotation…
