howdy everyone, saltyOG here, lifelong Red Sox fan, nice to have what looks/sounds like a mature place to read and share some thoughts about this super frustrating season ⚾ I just read Chad Tracy's comments in regard to why they used this as today's option, and it really makes sense because at this point he's kind of a lost cause and think it would behoove the team to remove him, send him down to the minors and try to figure this out because when he's pitching well, he's obviously a pretty good pitcher but this has to stop, lickity split, right ... I believe there are some good options + the pitching staff has literally held it all together for the most part, minus the plethora of injuries of course ... I think about the team and find myself shaking my head and literally sighing out loud sometimes, super exasperating, frustrating and just pitiful because there is some real talent on this ball club ... I hope they're serious about finding the kind of a bat they think they need for this team, this year, this ballpark ... I also read an article that John Henry seems to be pretty engaged because of all of these future enterprises he's adding to his portfolio in Boston, which to my mind is a good news, let's hope that's the case ... but let's face it, the Bryan Bello experiment HAS NOT been good and it's time for him to go down and try to figure out what ails him, and then, if possible, try to help the club down the road, remember, the AL is kinda weak right now and they could sneak in, crazier things have happened right 😊 last night's win was so exhilarating, something to build on, it was almost as if the ghosts of the ballpark we're finally on their way out 👻 however, a start like Bellos after that beautiful win can really take the wind out of the team's sails ... but I remain hopeful nevertheless
