[JCizzle]

Yoshida a tad aggressive there

 

[Beomoose]

Ouch, Thought Yoshida had 2 easy, until he didn't

 

[nvalvo]

Yoshida a tad aggressive there

Probably good for Yoshida to learn that particular lesson early.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Wong was right there again!

 

[brandonchristensen]

WONG

 

[Rovin Romine]

Traveling and sporadically checking in - how does Bello look?

 

[nvalvo]

Wong is literally the best throwing catcher in the majors. Like, maybe Realmuto is as good.

 

[nvalvo]

Traveling and sporadically checking in - how does Bello look?

Up and down. He's done some painting and drawn some swings and misses, but also left some fastballs high in the zone that have been hit hard. Good defense behind him has helped.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Bello is going to be a mainstay of the rotation for a long, long time.

 

[pk1627]

Pretty happy with Bello. Like Duran, he just carries himself different

 

[nvalvo]

We just saw how much faster Tapia is than Yoshida, I think.

 

[Beomoose]

Valdez learning to love the wall.

Yarp.

 

[nvalvo]

Valdez is a really good hitter.

 

[Redkluzu]

Tapia's running makes up for inconsistent hitting?

 

[bluefenderstrat]

Valdez may be a butcher but he’s a hitter.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Everyone assumes LF Fenway is easy to play, and it is, but this Kwan kid is doing an exemplary job.
Yay, runs!

 

[johnmd20]

Plesac giving up rockets.

 

[pk1627]

Yay bottom of the order runs

 

[bluefenderstrat]

Nice ABs by everyone…Plesac doing his part but still.

Following in his father's footsteps.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Valdez threw at Casas' height. Turner had to stretch for that.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

Following in his father's footsteps.

His uncle could get some major league hitters out, but you're probably right about his father.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Following in his father's footsteps.

Uncle?

 

[nvalvo]

I hate walking the nine hitter.

 

[nvalvo]

Oh, okay. If his index fingernail is broken, I can see how that would cause issues for command.

 

[CoffeeNerdness]

Yikes that nail looked ugly.

 

[mauidano]

Nice job with the camera shot of Bello's back of his neck. WTF?

 

[nvalvo]

Yikes that nail looked ugly.

Superglue was invented for battlefield medicine!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yeah, Youks, but if Bello has to leave the game b/c of injury, Bleier can have as much time as he needs. right?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Brayan Bello is straight-up mowing pricks DOWN!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Youks just mentioned Refsnyder and I realized I haven't seen him lately. Whuzzup?

 

[Redkluzu]

Tapia, two hits today. Who knew?

 

[Barbara Charles]

Game 28
Only two pages for yesterday’s thread.
A mundane matchup or impending dread?
Is it a sign the season’s in ruins,
or were we busy watching the Bruins?
Perhaps some of us go out Friday night.
My life is dull. I stay home, watch, and write
couplets and struggle with meter and rhyme,
wondering if it’s a grand waste of time.
Yet, deep in my heart, I hope that it’s not.
I wait for the day the Sox will get hot,
get guys on base and actually score’em,
and back fun and fans to this forum.
Though writing these poems may take time to do,
I’d love to write more than one-sixty-two.

Brilliant.

 

[brandonchristensen]

I hate to draw the comparison, but Bello reminds me of Pedro so much.
EDIT - I quoted the wrong post.

Best yet in my book. Thanks!

LOL. My life is dull as well, but I haven't taken up poetry yet!

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Chri$tian Arroyo can flat mash.

 

[nvalvo]

If Arroyo wants to get hot, we could really use it.

 

[Coachster]

Anybody think Arroyo might be a better defensive shortstop than Kike?

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

If Connor Wong, I don't wanna be right.

 

[nvalvo]

If you think about it, Wong's total net impact on the running game is pretty amazing.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Zunino with the unusual misplay. Thank you, sir.
And what's happened to Masa? Not good lately.

 

[strek1]

Great to see double digits hits today.

 

[nvalvo]

And what's happened to Masa? Not good lately.

I wonder what you're seeing, because he's 9 games into a hitting streak that has him 15/38 with as many XBH as strikeouts.

 

[pk1627]

Today I learned what that mark is always on Turner’s back. Pine tar as he exaggerates finishing swing on deck

 

[InsideTheParker]

I am only seeing my extremely high expectations. He just looks off today. So, very recently.

94.8 mph, 37 LA, 315 ft. xBA .090

 

[DeadlySplitter]

315ft, that's extremely cheap

 

[Coachster]

Hold onto your hats. Here comes Tilt.

 

[Redkluzu]

315ft, that's extremely cheap

I dunno, when someone hits that pole, I bow down
