7/05 Rangers @ SOX 7:10PM ET

Bello giving up hits to a good hitting team but working around it. Keep the ball on the ground, Brayan

[FredLynn]

You keep seeing references to him coming back a bit sooner as a DH . So you would bench Turner or Casas , so Story could bat ? Bring him in when he is fully ready and can play SS . 2B is an option but not where the need is.

I’d bring him back at SS when he’s ready

I feel 2nd is as much as a hole as SS is. But would rather see Story come back to SS when he is fully ready like you said.

Someone needs to teach Arroyo the head first slide because it's obvious feet first just doesn't cut it.

[FredLynn]

Too many LOBsters
Two runs aren’t going to win this

Hamilton just continues the misery at SS . Makes Bello add pitches and risk the lead. Bello had to throw a 5 out inning.

Boy, do you have it wrong. It's not Hamilton's fault and sure as shooting isn't Bloom's fault. The guy who keeps putting Hamilton the lineup is Cora, the same stupid idiot who put Kike in the SS spot.

As I've read so many times on talksox, Cora just doesn't know what the heck he is doing. Am I the only one here who noticed he used a bunch of guys from the bullpen yesterday instead of a starter?

Silly sarcasm.

I enjoy watching games like this.

Max appreciate your thoughts and still trying to get my head right so I can accept the judgements of our fearless manager and FO to keep us at .500 . Somehow, I think a700 has gotten to the core of your message. But enjoy the game because Cora did run Bello out there as a starter and that is working well.

Interesting to watch teams playing as close to a shift as they can taking away ground balls up the middle that the pitcher can't stop. The tendency/spray charts don't lie over good size samples.

When Yu Chang is your answer at SS, YU still have issues. Hamilton has 4th worst OPS in baseball among SS's? Who the heck could be worse ? I know i could look it up.

Was it Hamilton or the SOX as a team that has the 4th worst OPS at SS?

Both could be true. I heard it from one of the NESN broadcasters ( Wake, O'B, Lou)

[FredLynn]

Going to need at least five runs to win this

Just like that the rangers are back in this game. Bello has been hittable tonight.

Meanwhile the evil empire is creeping back in the division. The rays are stumbling and gagging.
