4/14 Angels @ SOX 1:30 PM

Economical inning for Bello.

Yes, it is amazing what a turned DP can do for a pitcher.

Economical inning for Bello.

He's at 4.19 ERA, now.

He was at 4.06 after first 4 starts of 2023. Maybe this is who he is, which is not bad, but not number 2 material at that rate.

I think he can and will improve over the next few years. Is a number 2 his ceiling or his expectation? I'd say yes and now. Maybe a solid #3 is a good expectation.

To speed the game up even more, Bobby D should start off with a 1-2 count when he comes to the plate.

Sox now have 3 different individuals make errors while playing 3rd base. No harm, no foul due to the DP, but not an encouraging trend for a team emphasizing defense to its fan base going into ST.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Canning can't go back-to-back, I guess Anderson will do.

Since the 2nd inning, Anderson has proven it's difficult to replace Canning.

[vegasbob]

Nice whack by Reyes to get the lead back.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Reyes can hit long when he hits.

I doubt anyone trusts what the SOX organization says anymore.

Bobby D is OK with me. O for the season and 60% K's

[redsoxrules]

The fundamentals on this team is mind blown

[iortiz]

Reyes is a fucking idiot.

[vegasbob]

Reyes can hit long when he hits.

He is truly a dumbfuck at heart though

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not surprising Trout has only hit one HR at Fenway Park, because the only park that's bigger is Yellowstone.

But seriously, it is amazing he's only hit one dinger at the Fens.

Bello is nothing but a No. 3 pitcher whose potential is at No. 2. While the latter is not a bad thing at all putting Pedro labels on him is simply ridiculous.

I just noticed that Ward has 1 HR with 10 RBI, while O'Neil has 7 HR's with 8 RBI. Thought that was interesting.

Correction: Ward has 5 HR's and 16 RBI.
