Yoshida a tad aggressive there

Beomoose · Apr 29, 2023

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

Probably good for Yoshida to learn that particular lesson early.

InsideTheParker · Apr 29, 2023

Wong was right there again!

Rovin Romine · Apr 29, 2023

Traveling and sporadically checking in - how does Bello look?

nvalvo · Apr 29, 2023

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

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 · Apr 29, 2023

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

pk1627 · Apr 29, 2023

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

nvalvo · Apr 29, 2023

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

Beomoose · Apr 29, 2023

Valdez learning to love the wall.

Yarp.

nvalvo · Apr 29, 2023

Valdez is a really good hitter.

Redkluzu · Apr 29, 2023

Tapia's running makes up for inconsistent hitting?

bluefenderstrat · Apr 29, 2023

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

InsideTheParker · Apr 29, 2023

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

johnmd20 · Apr 29, 2023

Plesac giving up rockets.

Yay bottom of the order runs

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

Following in his father's footsteps.

InsideTheParker · Apr 29, 2023

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

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

Uncle?

nvalvo · Apr 29, 2023

I hate walking the nine hitter.

nvalvo · Apr 29, 2023

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

CoffeeNerdness · Apr 29, 2023

Yikes that nail looked ugly.

mauidano · Apr 29, 2023

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

Superglue was invented for battlefield medicine!

InsideTheParker · Apr 29, 2023

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

InsideTheParker · Apr 29, 2023

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

Redkluzu · Apr 29, 2023

Tapia, two hits today. Who knew?

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.

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!

nvalvo · Apr 29, 2023

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

Coachster · Apr 29, 2023

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

nvalvo · Apr 29, 2023

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

InsideTheParker · Apr 29, 2023

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

strek1 · Apr 29, 2023

Great to see double digits hits today.

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 · Apr 29, 2023

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

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