Sure was. 1 ER in 6 IP. 1 BB and 6K.
-
Big crowd at Candlestick, however.

Oh, stop it. My case is that someone far more knowledgeable than me picked Hamilton over Campbell when Abreu returned. Hamilton has always been a backup, and he's the best the Sox can come up with now. He has a positive DWAR and Campbell a negative one. He bats at the bottom of the order. When Bregman returns, Story or Mayer goes to 2b. The error cost 2 runs, but it was not a routine play. Yesterday Hamilton drove in 2 runs in a 7-5 game. If the Sox lose by more than 2 runs, the error didn't cost this game.

???? Bello has gone 4 and given up 1 ER.

I was wrong. The error cost 2 runs. If the Sox lose by 2, it's on Hamilton. Too bad you don't acknowledge any of the good plays he's made. By the way, which Sox player had 2 hits and a 2 run dinger last night? And didn't the Sox win by 2?
-
Agree Campbell is better, and I'm not touting Hamilton as another Pedroia. I'm saying 2b is a weak spot in the lineup and that Hamilton right now is the best choice.
-
Smooth is the right word.
-
So far the difference between Bello and Roupp is that Roupp's breaking balls are way sharper. Bello's changeup, however, is looking good.
-
Horrible call in favor of the Giants pitcher. The ump is getting us both ways. I'm not saying the Giants pitcher hasn't made some good pitches because he has. He has been excellent at getting the Sox to swing at pitches outside the zone.
-
Ah, yes. That terrific grab on the the screamer/grounder in the first inning doesn't matter. Campbell is in Worcester because Hamilton is better at 2b. Sure errors count. This time it was an unearned run, in part made possible by an ump who ain't giving Bello any corners.
-
I agree, but that's easier said then done.
-
I wrote that before it happened. This ump is absolutely screwing Bello.
-
Devers has a shot with this homeplate ump.
-
This ump has been brutal for Bello.
-
If the Sox pitch a good game today, I won't care how many rbi's Wong has.
-
You got me there, pard.
-
True, but Mayer is at 3b.
-
Well, thank you for that. Should Cora forfeit the game because the Sox are down, 1-0?
-
Indeed.
-
Ah, that all important, vital, and basically meaningless fielding percentage. Do tell us about it.
-
In the first inning, it was the ump doing the nibbling, calling 2 strikes balls. Message to Bello was: throw where he can hit it hard if you want a strike. Thus the dinger.

Will Roman Anthony be Jarred Kelenic or Brady Anderson?
Maxbialystock commented on Charlie Hoke's blog entry in Charlie Hoke
I don't care about 5 tools because hitting is by far the most important skill, and I think Anthony has it. Ted Williams had just 2 of the 5: he hit for average and for power and was the greatest Red Sox player ever. Anthony hasn't proven anything yet. His OPS stinks. But he has had two key hits, each of which drove in 1 or 2 runs and contributed to Sox wins in close games. Hard not to like Mayer too. I sure looks as though he can field, throw, hit, and hit for power.- 12 comments

This could be the game when Raffy finally starts to earn his salary with the Giants. I'm predicting nothing.
-
I looked at his game log. It's 5 walks, which led to 7 runs. Another time, he had 5 walks and gave up 0 runs in 4.2 IP. Most of the time, he needs too many pitches, but he's really only had that one terrible game. In no other game has he given up more that 3 ER. He has pitched the 2d most innings on the team. He has the 2d best ERA among starters. He is in fact our 2d best starter.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
Maxbialystock replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Yes. Has he played anywhere else this season?
