If Gio hadn't gone down for the season, the SOX FO would have more flexibility in dealing with Bello. Right now, because of the pitching drought on the farm, Bello, sadly, is still their best option.
Speaking of a quality start; it is defined by MLB, at the minimum, giving up 3 earned runs after pitching 6 full innings. So if that's the definition of a 'quality start,' wouldn't it follow that a 4.50 ERA is a quality ERA?
Gausman(RH) vs Bello
Duran(CF)
Valdez
Abreu
Devers
O'Neill
Masa(DH)
Smith
McGuire
Rafaela(SS)
Gausman can be tough. Bello needs a quality start tonight.
Go SOX!
I was referring to the managers, not the players themselves. And now that it doesn't determine which team gets home field advantage in the WS ( a really stupid thing) it is a meaningless game.
