In his last four starts, the Red Sox have scored 2 runs while Bello has been in the game.
There was one start that they scored 8 runs after he left the game.
It’s at least the second time in the last couple weeks that Bello has given up a damaging hit off a base. There was one off 3rd recently that Devers was ready to field that went for a run scoring double.
It ended up being a DP, but another stupid play by the Sox infield. Raffy either has to come home and get Kwan or go directly to first to get Ramirez. They easily could have gotten no one. Bad Guardians’ baserunning bailed them out.
He seldom posts in game threads until late; he starts watching games late and fast forwards until he catches up to live action.
He also said this week he was on a trip to California so we would be spared his long winded posts most of the time (paraphrasing here, but that was the spirit of it).4
Now below it? He reached .200 (exactly) for 1 day (after the May 28th game); he's been below it every game before that date and every game after that date.
The radio guys (Will Flemming in particular) were not very succinct last night about the D. I believe the quote after the game ended was “infield defense is killing this team”. Comments during the error filled inning were not any less subtle.
Unlike the TV shills, the radio guys are not afraid to tell it like it is. They did not (and have not ) held back on criticizing the defense or anything else that needs critiquing.
Radio guys pegged it very well earlier in the broadcast; everyone is pressing and trying to do too much.
Contrast that with the Rays, who are all relaxed because each player knows if I don't get it done, the next guy will.
