A's vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (7/9/24) | MLB Highlights

[@StanSwan]

Total domination by the Red Sox. They could have put in a position player to pitch the last 5 innings and won. Keep it rolling.

[@marcmarc1967]

That's essentially what they did. It gave all the top bull-pen guys a rest.

[@StanSwan]

@@marcmarc1967 Correct and some so called Red Sox "fans" think they should burn out the bullpen to hold a 9 run lead when 3 runs is a cakewalk to win.

Don't let the score fool you. This game was not close. We had some of our worst arms out there today and CRUSHED a bad team. Gotta give it to Bello as much as he's rough to watch. Nice work with the Ks.

[@RodriguesPaul360]

Bello is hard to watch !! He did well on K’s but gives up too much to often , I don’t know what it is . If he is trying to hard to be slick and ends up getting sloppy.. ? great team win .! Now they’re 10 games over 500 .. if they can sweep the A’s I’ll be pumped !!!

[@173jaSon371]

@@RodriguesPaul360 Agreed, Bello gives up too much hard contact for a ground ball/contact pitcher and then mentally collapses at the first sign of adversity. I do still think some potential exists there, but by now we should have seen SOME sort of improvement. Needs to get his fastball and change working well

[@diegobrandomtg]

@@173jaSon371his changeup was looking a bit better better, but 100 pitches into the fifth was rough. If the team is serious about playing ball in the postseason they gotta find a way to fix him (and most of the pitching staff tbf) up. Giving him a longer stretch between starts worked down in miami, but that’s not long term feasible if he’s supposed to be in a regular starter. Maybe move him towards long relief with occasional starts based on the rest of the rotation? Idk, tough situation. We’re not exactly spoiled for choice with starters.

[@173jaSon371]

@@diegobrandomtg Agreed, some of them were sinking right into the dirt and inducing whiffs. Looking at his savant page, his sliders vertical break is wayy down in particular, over 6 inches less and 2 less on the sinker as well. I think he's too predictable with just 3 pitches(sinker, change, slider, only 18 4sm fastballs all of 2024) and needs to pepper in that 97+mph more often. The sinker has over a .500 slg against this season because guys can sit on it, especially when 1 or 2 of those 3 pitches aren't moving as well in certain games. Small sample, but his 4 seamer has an xBA of .230 and xSLG of .336. His hard hit% on them is 33.3%, compared to 51.7% on the sinker, which he throws over 40% of the time. Im just some idiot on baseballsavant for 10 min though haha

If ownership doesn't invest in this team before the deadline they are pretty much telling their players it doesn't matter how well you play through the all star break, we don't believe in you enough to invest to make the team better for the stretch run.

[@LittleRiverBees-or6qp]

So who should they get and a what price? Management cannot magically conjure up players to be had at reasonable prices. When I was voting on the allstars I notice there were a lot of sub par players that are actually starting for teams. Good First Baseman seem to be hard to come by for example. With the new playoff format there are fewer sellers at the deadline making the pickings even slimmer. The Red Sox finally got their minor league system back in order I don't want them to trash it for a single shot this year.

[@johnmeehan6444]

@@LittleRiverBees-or6qp There is no reason why they couldn't get someone like Evoldi from Texas to come back for the stretch run for a B or C tier prospect. A guy like that. Def need starting pitching help though. And don't need to give up an upper echelon prospect to do so.

[@WendelltheSongwriter]

Only Carl Yastrzemski and Ted Williams could really play that wall well, Reggie Smith did it well and of course Fred Lynn. But you got to practice to play that wall correctly. Yaz used to take a hundred popups of that wall in practice.

[@bradleydame287]

Fred Lynn played centerfield, not left. Jim Rice was not a good fielder initially but got better over time and learned to play the wall really well. More recently, Andrew Benintendi played it well.

Mixed results from Bello, but I believe he's on the right path. Its frustrating to strike out 11 and allow 5 runs. He'll get there. Bad defense in the first inning on the read and backup in center. They need to do better if they want to win games. also, i dunno who that oakland play-by-play woman is, but nobody was chirping any a's players in rf. I was there. nobody was chirping anyone. get a freaking clue, lady.

Bello needs to be moved at the deadline. They gave this AA clown a contract but not Mookie or Xander. Of course, Mookie was a poorly disguised salary dump! This team was up 11-2 and almost lost to the worst team/franchise in the league. Their bp is mostly AA trash! And Dominick Smith runs like he's already at an old timers game from 2050.
