  1. Getting very weary of the Ks with men in scoring positions. Jarren is no help watching 3rd strikes go by.
  2. 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?
  3. 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 .
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. Had Weissert walked the bases loaded before the home run, Sox would still be winning. That's called a Weissert cushion
  8. Wong flies out on ball 4 with LOBsters or MOBsters. Time to close out 7 in a row inconceivable 2 months ago
  9. Cohen has to be seriously ill about his team. Money solved nothing. He needed a better backup catcher to turn this around
  10. He does not look quick with the bat nor recognizing pitches
  11. So he does with the fear of the OF arms sticking the Mets on 3rd
  12. Whitlock gives up more infield hits than the average pitcher, followed by rockets. Get out of this situation, Garrett
  13. Cheng was in the whirlpool when Siegler hit the pole ? Can't make the club if your in the tub ! Note for Anthony, Mayer, Crochet and the rest of the IL's
  14. Why didn't they just take the Acela to NYC along with all the politicos ?
  15. Gray has Ewing down 0-2 on wicked curve balls. Eventually throws him a straight FB for a 2 out hit. Luckily Soto can't hit
  16. Gonzo taking middle middle for his 3rd K. As others have said. bench players are what they are for a reason
  17. I think Wong has a tired arm from all that running His throw to 2B wasn't competitive
  18. Wong makes umps look bad when. running. Win one lose one. no runs
  19. To K Duran , get him swinging at the first breaking ball, throw a called strike, then a straight FB high and Jarren is grabbing pine
