#RedSox

I agree.

Makes me long for the 2003 and 2004 Red Sox.

Those teams worked counts, hit for power, and could come back from deficits quickly.

Ugh.

The Yankees have a formidable starting rotation, even with Rodón and Cole on the IL.

Will Brayan Bello put it together during the Yankee series?

Bello has a record of 5-4 with a 2.35 ERA versus the Yankees in his career.

Highlights:
6 quality starts/11 total starts
65 IP
53 SO
23 BB
3 HR

The #RedSox have a 7-4 record in the 11 games Bello has started against the Yankees.

The #RedSox have 4 starters hitting under the Mendoza line:

.196 Story
.164 Duran
.162 Durbin
.182 Mayer

Strikeouts by a relief pitcher:

1. Hoyt Wilhelm 1,363 (1,872.1 IP) *
2. Goose Gossage 1,340 (1,556.2 IP) *

#RedSox - K rates over 25% (though 4/19/26):

33.3% Story
30.4% Narvaez
28.6% Contreras
28.2% Duran
26.7% Monasterio
26.1% Anthony

#RedSox were down today 5-1 after 5 innings, not 50-1. But for a team with no comeback, it may well have been a huge margin.

The largest deficit BOS has overcome to win a game this year is ONE run. It happened one time, on April 15 at #Twins (BOS trailed 1-0 after the 1st, won 9-5).

The 1977 team is one of my all-time favorite Red Sox teams.

This offense was fun to watch & could flat-out rake. They lead MLB with 213 HRs & featured 5 players with 25+ HRs.

The offense was so loaded that Butch Hobson (30 HR) typically hit 9th in the lineup.

Team line:
.281/.345/.465/.810

#RedSox - 8-12 (.400)

Record with:
Five or more runs scored - 5-4
One to four runs scored - 3-8

The #RedSox rank last in the MLB in home runs with 12.

This puts them at a 97-HR pace. The Red Sox hit 186 HRs in 2025.

The Dodgers lead MLB in HRs with 37.

Bello has given the Red Sox only 18.2 IP in four starts while allowing 14 ER. He has 12 BBs and 13 Ks.

Have to wonder if the Red Sox would consider optioning him, both to get somebody better in the rotation and make a point to Bello that there are consequences for not doing the job.

Yeah, no HRs yet this season, but I imagine he'll break out of it sooner than later.

Don't know, but the Sox need power badly. A private equity firm just bought the Padres. Maybe they would deal Tatis for the right package? It doesn't help that Duran is off to such a slow start. Bello is averaging 4.2 IP per start with a 6.75 ERA. Not good.

Bello is so frustrating. He can’t be relied upon.

The #RedSox need Bello to be at his best against Skubal, but he immediately loaded the bases and walked in a run in the first inning.

He had to make 35 (!) pitches in the opening frame.

Not ideal.

Tarik Skubal is 2-2 versus the #RedSox in his career.

Highlights:
1 quality start/5 total stats

The #RedSox have a 0-3 record in games Bello has started against Detroit.

MASA FOR THE WIN!

Sadly, Trout has only been in the playoffs once (ALDS-2014) in his 15-year career. Hopefully, he’ll get another chance to compete in the postseason.

Casey Mize is 0-1 versus the #RedSox in his career.

Highlights:
2 quality starts/5 total starts
27.1 IP
22 SO
10 BB

The Tigers' W-L record in Mize's 5 starts against the Red Sox is 2-3.

#RedSox quality starts/total starts in 2026:

The Red Sox rank 5th in the AL in quality starts with 7. Seattle leads the AL with 12 QS.

Some good news: The Red Sox offense has averaged 6.3 runs per game over the last 5 games.

I wish Duran hadn't engaged with that fan, but I get it. Buying a game ticket doesn't give a fan the right to spew that type of vitriol. I hope the fan gets banned from ALL MLB parks for life.
