    April 2 Sox at Oakland AAAA's

    Bello vs Alex Wood , he of an over 16. ERA after 1 start. Bello did much better first time out.

    How long can this streak of excellent starting pitching go on ? At least 5 more games would be nice, completing a successful road trip out west, if that is to be.

    The hitters have not yet really come alive. The 9 runs vs the A's came on 9 hits PLUS 5 Oakland errors. Sub .500 OPS's belong to Casas and Story, and part -timer Abreu.

    Keep the streak alive of Vegas Bob starting game threads

    Orioles have also had a long series of lousy teams--after the Earl Weaver era, of course--mostly because of owner Peter Angelos. But they still had/have that gorgeous park (Camden Yards), plus, until MLB brought a 3d team to DC (the current Nationals), a pretty good sized baseball fan population in the Nation's Capital. I was one of them and gladly drive the hour or so from N. Virginia.

    My guess is that David Rubenstein will be a better owner. He certainly is taking over at a good moment. Rubenstein is a no holds barred philanthropist.

    Duran LF
    O'Neill RF
    Devers 3B
    Story SS
    Reyes 2B
    Casas DH
    Rafaela CF
    Dalbec 1B
    Wong C

    Six righty bats for the Sox--all but Duran, Devers, and Casas. Against lefty starter Wood. Story moved up to batting 2d.

    Dear Mr. Henry,
    I appreciate the championships- but I'm watching today's game to see a competitive team. I don't keep going back to restaurants who serve terrible food because two years ago I had a great meal there.

    Devers hit a decent GIDP grounder, but the secondbaseman was too far from 2B to get the toss and then throw Devers out at 1B.

    Bobby D has not progressed in much of any way over the past 24 months. He takes legit strikes, then either chases or swing and miss.

    Bello doesn't know he needs to be throwing shutouts if he is to be the Ace of this staff. Looks like he is toying with the A's hitters

    I don't mind Story can't bat... just wish he was batting 7th or lower in the lineup right now.

    Bello has now given up more earned runs than the other 4 starters combined.
