  1. Leadoff triple and you get a soft bouncer and a K from 2 useless batters. Gonzalez just not sharp with his bat either, another K
  2. I may be one of the few who thinks 5 or 6 foul balls should be a K. Rivera goes to 64 pitches due to Polanco's f'ing around with fouls
  3. Durbin is a better judge of balls and strikes than many Sox hitters Runs well because his feet are close to the ground
  4. Rivera delivers 3 good innings. battling after leadoff walks in 2nd/3rd. Let him start the 4th? May as well but be ready to pull him if he walks another
  5. Getting very weary of the Ks with men in scoring positions. Jarren is no help watching 3rd strikes go by.
  6. Bello suffers from a reinforcing cycle of thinking he has problems in the first inning so he tries to be too careful which in turn leads to walks, HBP or grooving balls on 3-1 counts. The more it happens, the more it reinforces that negative thinking . Personally, I suspect he is an undereducated clown , and have never liked him as a serious pitcher. But he has shown he can do it on multiple occasions . You may also be seeing the effect of making a young, immature kid a multi-millionaire in a poor country like the DR. Papi and Pedro could talk to him all day and never gotten through to Brayan about needing to work hard , even in off season. You know Alex Cora discussed it with those guys. Why work too hard in the hot sun?
  7. Someday Anthony may well live up to his potential and he is still very young. If the RS hitting tactics are injuring him maybe he needs to swing "his way" . He has missed notable development time in '25 and now much of '26. He hit weakly in , like many others, in April this year. There is real concern that 2027 will be a short season , if at all., further jeopardizing Anthony's development as a pro hitter. To think he should be or will be the keystone of the lineup is putting too many eggs in one basket . Let's talk about him when he is back to playing which will be no time soon .
  8. This would be the time, maybe post ASB to bring Bello in and pair with a starter based on the schedule shown above.. The guy can pitch at the MLB level , is not injured physically . Brayan is under a contract for a few tens of millions more. USE him. Breslow and the team need to see if he is part of the longer term plan or a dumpster project. Also show he can pitch in the majors before August 3rd. It's called shopping him, but as a seller, not buyer.
  9. A lot can happen in a 20 game span as we have just seen. But we are still a series sweep plus more under .500
  10. Gray, Brez's acquisition, now 11-1, on a sub .500 team It is the right move for the organization but will take some cojones to pull off because it will be seen as quitting on the season.
  11. Had Weissert walked the bases loaded before the home run, Sox would still be winning. That's called a Weissert cushion
  12. Wong flies out on ball 4 with LOBsters or MOBsters. Time to close out 7 in a row inconceivable 2 months ago
  13. Cohen has to be seriously ill about his team. Money solved nothing. He needed a better backup catcher to turn this around
  14. He does not look quick with the bat nor recognizing pitches
  15. So he does with the fear of the OF arms sticking the Mets on 3rd
  16. Whitlock gives up more infield hits than the average pitcher, followed by rockets. Get out of this situation, Garrett
