Red Sox (Bello) vs Angels (Rodriguez) 09/07/26, 1:35 pm

[NHNative]

Not all pretty pitches, but he got it done.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What's the record for 3 and 2 counts by a starter? 

Well, Bello kept the Angels off the board for 5 innings. Kudos for that, but he's still uncomfortable to watch.

Bello, Grissom, Kristian, Sandoval.....who else is receiving government subsidy on this team.

Decent start, but he needs to be a lot more efficient 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good to see Durbin barrelling up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Duran should have gotten a haircut sooner.

[FredLynn]

That ball should have been caught

Blondes do have more fun.

Bases juiced, one out= no runs

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Bases loaded hasn't worked out well for the Sox today.

[NHNative]

Durbin starts some momentum finally.

I was sure Eli was gonna launch another .

Oh well, we could be Angels' fans.

Did that hit the pole?

[Bailey_Fox]

I’ll be honest. The Sox should have 10+ Runs right now

 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

In spite of giving up the homer, I still like Olds as a reliever. He's got nasty stuff.

The Flops have a lot of good RPers. With Houck and Crochet potentially joining the pen who are the odd men out?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't believe I've seen Gasper have a check swing since he started being a HR hitter. He has excellent plate discipline.

Moran, Burgos, possibly Sandoval or Olds due to limited experience 

Weissert would be a fan favorite

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was actually a damn nice play by Story.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sox starters have given up 4 runs in the last 5 games. And 1 run in their last 4 games.

Moran and Olds have been effective. Sandoval won’t be on the postseason roster.

The Sox are 2nd in the AL in pen ERA,  overall ERA, and hitting OPS. The Yankmees are tops in ERA but 8th in OPS.

More are on the way here

[NHNative]

Can I be nervous?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If it's still 5-2 in the 9th, bring in Whitlock. Don't mess around.

Kind of hard for a starter to give up a run today

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Joyce has a lot of juice.

An insight to Bello. He is throwing a 4 inning shutout against the least winning AL team and he is over 80 pitches.  He just has limited control and consequently as a Starter he is a BP burner .

The Sox should still win this one

I assume he could've gone an extra inning, but Tracy probably wanted him to leave on good terms.  And I will take a 4-inning shut out every time.  That allows you to use your # 6/7/8 guys out of the BP.

Bello actually went 5.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Even with slo-mo video they still get it wrong.
