    This is postseason not regular season. This is October not June-July. Bello last pitched against the Yankees Sept 13, and gave up 4 runs in 5 innings. Last night as short as it was was No surprise at all, and more predictable than not. I said before the game that Bello would be on a short leash, but I didn’t believe that short.
  2. Old Red
    Why is anyone questioning Cora on the platoon strategy? It’s not really been a big staple of the Red Sox in the past.
  3. Old Red
    This pretty much sums things up, and Duran is getting closer to being one of those role players.
  4. Old Red
    Bello started wearing down in Sept.
  5. Old Red
    I’m not blaming Cora, but Whitlock did say he was getting tired near the end throwing those 47 pitches.
  6. Old Red
    Just like I don’t believe the Red Sox gave that contract to RAF Man to be a utility guy I don’t believe the Red Sox gave that contract to Campbell to be a bench guy.
  7. Old Red
    2-16 against Rodon, and 0-10 with 5 K’s against Fried is good enough for me concerning Duran.
  8. Old Red
    Splits only tell part of a story. What a batter does head to head with the pitcher is what’s Most important.
  9. Old Red
    The only button Cora pushes is the computer button to turn it on, and watch it spit out the RH lineup, and then when the LHP gets taken out it spits out his LHB to replace his RHB just like last night. It’s not all that complicated, and very predictable.
  10. Old Red
    2-16 against Rodon.
  11. Old Red
    This is a whole entirely situation though being the postseason, and Bello has more innings built up going into October for the first time. Pitch count? Time will tell.
  12. Old Red
    Masa over Eaton I could see, but Refsnyder would have played no matter who was available IMO.
  13. Old Red
    And one of those struggles was against the Yankees.
  14. Old Red
    It was a predictable lineup last night to me with the only question being if Masa started over Duran.
  15. Old Red
    Bello will have a short lease too.
  16. Old Red
    GOshida!
  17. Old Red
    And take Duran out?
  18. Old Red
    Cora just goes to his computer, and this lineup is what spit out.
  19. Old Red
    Like I’ve mentioned before that many on the Red Sox are in uncharted waters just playing in the postseason, and that includes Crochet plus he’s never thrown this many innings before, so yes anything can happen.
  20. Old Red
    No big deal on Abreu, and, or Lowe not in the lineup as neither was doing that much lately anyway. GOshida yes. Duran is 0-10 against Fried with 5 K’s.
  21. Old Red
    Got to get the pitch count up on Fried like last time. This will be a Big spot for Bello, but I think he’ll be on a short lease. Bello hasn’t really been that effective his last 5 starts, and one of those was against the Yankees. Yankees have had trouble in the BP.
  22. Old Red
    According to TC Bregman did practice, but they are trying to keep him away from the rest of the team as much as possible.
  23. Old Red
    Bregman is sick, and did not travel to NY with the rest of the team. Was driven in car.
  24. Old Red
    With Gio out Bello needs to step up, and come through. Who’s after him?
  25. Old Red
    Gio out with elbow problem! 🤭
