    When Story comes back, we'll have every position covered with exception of SS and DH long term. (Assuming we extend Verdugo).
  2. Nick
    Only 1B appears to be our major weakness right now. I am ready to add Duran and Wong to our 'core' group.
  3. Nick
    Focus should be on fixing our own house. Bello and Sale's starts are certainly encouraging.
  4. Nick
    Is he the same guy that threw the ball away to allow Cleveland to tie the game?
  5. Nick
    I'm sorry. But with 2 balls and no strike on Verdugo with Yoshida coming up, no brainer to walk him to set up a double play.
  6. Nick
    My response was to Duval coming back.
  7. Nick
    Need to find at bats for Duran.

    Devers!!! Bargain at $17.5M.

    Yoshida's OPS is up to .828!

    Bello is our future.....i have seen enough of Pivetta's of world.
  12. Nick
    0 run 1st inning....that's new

    Bello had a good stretch last year. I'm not sure if it's fair to judge his 2023 season after 2 starts with abbreviated spring training. I have more faith in Bello than in Casas.
  14. Nick
    Ever notice our Yankee fan is not here when his team is struggling? And he is the first one to come with the news when our player is hurt. Judge was out last night with hip injury suffered in Thursday's game. Maybe nothing serious. Cordero is back to AAA.
  15. Nick
    Thank God Bello is going tomorrow.

    Nick P just sucks. Oh I forgot. He is a very good #5 starter. Sox with 4 of them.
  17. Nick
    Nick P looking again like #5 starter. Only problem is we have 4 of them.
  18. Nick
    Especially true if we can't improve on last year's record vs AL East.
  19. Nick
    I'm leaning more and more that way.
  20. Nick
    As usual, I have no facts to back it up. I could have sworn I heard it once on a Ray's broadcast.
  21. Nick
    I also read Rays use young starters in the pen early in their major league careers. They wait for their turn. Haven't we done this with Whitlock and Houck? Why not Bello? Now all of the sudden, it's in Bello's best interest to pitch in the minors? It's getting to the point Bloom and Cora's words doesn't mean anything. Didn't Cora say there's no way Paxton would not be a starter? Things that make you go huh.
  22. Nick
    Well said.....
  23. Nick
    My argument is not Bello starting or not. My argument is keeping Bello in AAA just as an emergency starter, to be available if a major league starter gets hurt. It has nothing to do with his performance apparently and Cora said so as much. What logic is that? We are going to keep one of our 13 best pitchers on the farm? This is NOT the Rays team. We are in last place. And to think we have the LUXURY of keeping one of our top 13 pitchers RIGHT NOW on the farm? So Bello is going to PAY THE PRICE because our current starters are bunch of pussies? I'd fire our baseball people. I'm just getting tired of missteps. I'll say the same to Moon. It's idiotic to keep him 'stretched' IN CASE OF AN INJURY to someone else. We already have Kutter in that role.
  24. Nick
    Very good sir.
  25. Nick
    I do want to see Bello as a starter BUT I'm okay with Bello taking similar route as Whitlock. That is, he can join Winckowski and Kutter as multiple inning guys, going as many as 3 or 4 innings. If Bloom is indeed committed to Sale, Kluber and Paxton, there's no room for Bello. It's about helping the big league team. I really don't see him getting any better going up against AAA competition. And I believe he's better option than Brasier and Ort. AND BELLO HAS SAID AS MUCH. HE THINKS HE BELONGS IN FENWAY. I AGREE. It would be different had he had normal spring training work load and then pitched poorly. But he didn't get the normal workload. But despite that the team decided he was ready to pitch in the majors. Quit being freakin' cowards. Make a decision and stick to it and not tether every other day. Grow a pair, Bloom.
