This now BP.

Willson's hit was a line drive to the base of wall, about 320-25'

[FredLynn]

When do we put in a position player to pitch?

I would go Contreras on the mound. He can throw hard and will brush a few back

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'd let Chappy finish the game.

 

 

Only kidding.

He needs 2.1 innings to lock in 2027.

I'm sure he will get there

That’s what I mean. We don’t need to rock the boat. 

At this point Story is a utility player if anything. Just eat his contract and move on. You just have to admit that his contract was a mistake since day one. 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Break up the Red Sox.

[iortiz]

And just like that and somehow Bello become the best reliever in baseball lol! This 2026 Red Sox season is beyond crazy. 

[FredLynn]

They’re going to 10 over .500, a 24 game turnaround. That has to be one of the best turnarounds ever, at least for the franchise 

[vegasbob]

No one will ever convince me that Bello's inability to pitch the 1st inning was not 99% mental. He thought too much for 4 days ahead.  Relieving, he never knows when the call comes

I think everyone here saw it before the Sox analysts

If he is still on the team, he will be a long reliever I think, if and when Crochet comes back.

 

Sandoval should be ridden as hard and as long as we can.  He's one of the bridges we need to get to our key 1-2-3 playoff SPs.

PS needs to cooperate and get 6-7 innings . The bats won't always get him a laugher.

I just wish his bridge was one inning longer.

The real discussion will be regarding the playoff roster 

Lots of stuff can change between now and then, but I want the kids that got us here to be on the roster.

[iortiz]

BTW Adley looks great in Sox uniform. Guy is going to be a huge addition to get in October. Huge in every aspect.

I’m not taking anyone off this roster so that Story can play 

[Tedballgame]

Wilyer!!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Abreu appears to be hot again.

Rutch is probably asking himself "do they actually need me?"

[moonslav59]

This is getting scary good.

[iortiz]

and Bello just needed 28 pitches to shutout the last 3 innings. Impressive.

He's a phat boy, overweight, out of condition

[notin]

And thanks to a stupid rule, Bello is credited with a save for successfully holding a 12 run lead…

Bello has accepted his new role quite maturely. Unlike another player whose name won't be mentioned.

[5GoldGlovesOF,75]

No matter how utterly ridiculous his words are on a day-to-day basis, I'm finally here to join the cult that unconditionally believes everything the president says. 

So the next time Sam Kennedy tells you the Red Sox bats will heat up with the summer temps, just nod. Just don't nod off.
