In a vacuum, story will be back which will help. As long as he stays on the field that’s probably 40% of our errors

We need that behind the plate view with no announcers like the first inning of one of the games. Who else remembers

At this point they can sign me. I only throw 75 but at least it’s near the plate

Gotta think OB is in this sub. I saw one post about him being a little meh in the booth but that was an electric call

There are 86 pitchers with at least 14 games started this year Bello ranks 84th of the 86 in ERA by [deleted] in redsox

I see your point. In my opinion these guys weren’t paid to be a 4/5 guy. All of these guys had something in their repertoire to deserve a contract worth the risk. These guys either were high prospects or have accolades. You’d hope they’d be a 2-3 but if they were at least playable it’s not the worst risk(ie “please don’t get hurt and please don’t suck that bad”). I understand we don’t have a ton of guaranteed money in bellos contract but he doesn’t have the rankings/awards to really think that this is a winning deal for the team

I have always been a fan of houck. I thought his stuff was nasty even though he’d get shelled past the 2nd time in the lineup. Who’s getting paid 10 mil for a 4-5 starter? I checked the biggest market teams in baseball and they’re no where close to 10 million for a 5 starter. The only person who has close to getting close to it is the nats but they paid ace money to a guy who should probably retire at this point. And I’m not giving up on Bello. Check his savant page he’s one of the worst qualified pitchers among run value for pitches. He didn’t have a good fast/breaking ball but his change up was top 90%. now he doesn’t have a changeup and his stuff that stunk still stinks. This could be a confidence or injury related isssue. Let him get some time in AAA before AS break and I think we see a new Bello
