Well Bello should be over the first start jitters so let's see what the kid can do. No JBJ tonight, so that's a plus.

Sea Dog 23 · July 11, 2022, 06:20:43 PM

The Rays have put Franco, Kermaier and Springs (P) on the IL. Everybody is banged up except the MFNYY.

Bello is hitting a lot of bats. Down 2-0 and still only one out in the inning.

longgame · July 11, 2022, 06:33:16 PM

Bello struggling. Bailed out by a DP.

markj · July 11, 2022, 06:33:53 PM

Sweet DP ended that.

Sea Dog 23 · July 11, 2022, 06:38:51 PM

:Rays are again playing the Tampa shuffle. New pitcher in the 2nd.

longgame · July 11, 2022, 06:43:35 PM

What a catch!

markj · July 11, 2022, 08:35:19 PM

Diekman has a new twist on walking the first batter. Why waste pitches? Just hit him with the first pitch you throw.

markj · July 11, 2022, 08:42:45 PM

And that hit batsman just came around to score.

MongoLikeSox · July 11, 2022, 09:04:51 PM

I was laughing with my wife about how Cora should not pit Diekman in with this umpire. He's calling a tight zone, which I love.

And Valdez showing off a barehanded play while I'm typing. How awesome was that? Up there with Story's play earlier.

markj · July 11, 2022, 09:26:28 PM

Once again the Red Sox play a floundering team and give them a win. TB had lost 3 straight before tonight.

markj · July 11, 2022, 09:30:10 PM

Valdez needs to follow Robles out the door.

BoSoxFanNY · July 11, 2022, 09:30:46 PM

CRAP!

The Rays couldn't score beat the lowly Reds
and now have scored 10 runs against our Sox.

8th inning
Rays 10 - Sox 5

CRAP!

AND the schedule . . .

The SOX played Sunday Night Baseball and had
to play today. Had to fly to Tampa Bay and play.
Meanwhile, the Yankees went home and have NO GAME tonight.

CRAZY scheduling . . .
