    Bello gets the memo and complies

    Could be McGuire vs the RH Manning. Wong may also be recovering for catching most of June/July.

    Back to the regular rotation with Brayan Bello ready to advance the Red Hots to another win . The return of a highly effective Chris Sale and TC's slugging give hope to all but the hardest of Sox fans' hearts. Bello brings his stuff up against Matt Manning, RH'er with 10 starts, who has a mixed bag with a 5.+ ERA, but 1.18 WHIP against a low K total of 39 in 53.1 innings. So expect to see some balls in play. Duran and Turner back for this one? Sox now have nailed 4 of last 5 and closed within 3 of the losing BJ's for the third WC , Yankees still one back. Late kudos to Chris Murphy for racking up 3 no-hit ( 2 BB's) shutout innings to cement Barraclough's first MLB win , lol. With Sale looking good, Story now making contact, Reyes being a surprise , combined with Casas' thunder bat the immediate future vs lesser teams looks good. Even Cora is looking smarter and that guy Bloom, off the charts . Win another one boys and keep the line moving. Now is not the time to dissect the hitting which with few exceptions is not up to par yet.

    The return of Chris F. Sale. WTF, why not ? Keep the streak alive Way past time for hitters to breakthrough

    Story took 2 strike zone hittable FBs last night before chasing the slider/sweep-er for his 3rd K. If you didn't know he could/will hit at some point, you would wonder why this guy was even in the lineup. Agree that batting third right away is pushing Trevor to undue pressure.

    Squeaked out a win to go up 2-1 in the series , looking for the crusher on August 10. Paxton back on the mound for Boston, vs. Austin Cox, a LH reliever/opener for KC. So guessing that Cora brings the RH'ed lineup with Turner back and Story at SS James Paxton could help the bullpen by actually pitching well for 7 innings. Sox haven't hit KC pitching much. Actually outscored in the prior 3 games 14-13 by a team with a -161 run differential and 42 games below .500 Red Sox need to wake up the bats and put a show on Thursday night. Keep the streak of 1 going please. I want to do the reintroduction of Chris Freakin' Sale on Friday.

    As always, take the 4-3 win but then review how the Sox got to 4. The slump is not over yet. Absent a catcher's interference, they might be going to 10. Struggling against a weak team
  8. vegasbob
    Helluva throw by McGuire from his knees, but being challenged
  9. vegasbob
    Jansen has been a piece of work at times, this is one of them.. But so are our hitters
  10. vegasbob
    Pretty sure he gave in to pressure to come back a day or 2 early
  11. vegasbob
    Story takes 2 FB's in strike zone, then chases the sweeper out of the zone. Low expectations are not disappointed. Staying in Worcester another 2 or 3 days wouldn't have fixed that.
  12. vegasbob
    Story, in his defense, got jobbed twice in that sequence of pitches
  13. vegasbob
    If Nick is your #4 or #5 starter you will be doing ok. Not too sharp, gives up HR's but does have a great 12-6 curveball. Will give you 5 innings, but your guys need to hit behind him.
  14. vegasbob
    I wonder if Red Sox marketing even considered calling tonight at Fenway, Kike Hernandez Bobble night
  15. vegasbob
    Finally get to see a pickoff at 2nd. He was breaking the wrong way to quick
  16. vegasbob
    Not sure why Urias/Febles thought he could score. KC never started a rundown on McGuire
  17. vegasbob
    Good to see Verdugo hit the ball sharply, but lucky that Menendez could hold that one. Sox back on top.
  18. vegasbob
    Story shows the difference between coming out of ST and trying to hit even weak MLB pitching mid season. He is a long ways away from catching up and the "book" has him down for all sweepers away.
  19. vegasbob
    Ok, that's a winner 5G !
  20. vegasbob
    You know, Bell, there's nothing like the feeling a come from behind win gives us. So By Nick P. giving up the 2nd inning HR, and the Sox 1-2-3 first, we are now officially playing from BEHIND AGAIN
  21. vegasbob
    Is it too early yet to analyze Story's output to date, LOL
  22. vegasbob
    He must have been or Bloom would have been directed by JH to pay him what he had earned to keep a generational talent in Boston, perhaps adding a another WS title to the first 4.
  23. vegasbob
    Amazing how a legit WS contender can take out our trash and make them good , i.e. Brasier and Kike, oh and Mookie too.
  24. vegasbob
    Just imagine the deep dives the analytics staff will do this winter to figure out the Sox tendency to struggle with weaker teams and 2 game sweep teams like the Braves. If Reyes's GS walkoff the other night did not jack up the Sox for last night's game, and it clearly did not, then perhaps blind optimism should be temporarily shelved until tonight's game is in the books.
  25. vegasbob
    Or just take your pick, I'm sure there will be more than enough brilliant observations to fill both threads.
