If you’re not really hyped to see how Brayan Bello pitches tonight, you’ve really misnavigated to the wrong part of the internet.

Since he first pitched in AA? No, came up with it this morning. Truly. Title of the year. The two prospects I'm most 'excited about' are Bello and Yorke. Not sure which is the excitement meter leader. |

Counting the days down until Murphy and Groome join Bello.

Counting the days down until Murphy and Groome join Bello. The promotions/movement giant elephant in the room is the trade deadline. If Eovaldi, Wacha and/or Hill get dealt, that changes everything, outgoing and incoming. |

Casas out of the lineup after being pulled for precautionary reasons with a rolled ankle. Nothing to worry about, but something to keep an eye on.
Also hopefully just a day off but Mayer is out of the lineup again.

Bello gets lucky on a 3-1 call then strikes out a very MLB experienced Derek Dietrich on a nasty fb down in the zone. Obvious how his stuff plays low in the zone and not a surprise how many Ks+GOs he gets, interested to see if his other fastball plays better up.
Curious how many people here are watching this game despite the Sox currently playing a fairly big game against the Stros.

Tries to backdoor a slider over, ends up middle-middle and Bello allows a homer. When Bello's slider isn't playing its best it can be a little bit of a get-me-over breaking ball. Honestly thought we would have seen the changeup a little more.

Jarren Duran homers the opposite way on his bobblehead night!

Bello allows his second hard hit ball of the game, a double to the gap scores a runner on second who got there on a misplayed bloop. Not a terrible pitch, 97 just above the knees and inside, but it ran a little straight and caught a bit too much of the plate. Second time through the lineup, might be seeing him a slight bit better. I's not impossible to time up his fastball, would love to see more changeups to compensate.

Bello's fastball looks much better than his secondaries tonight - but note this is his first game with MLB baseballs.

I've liked both the slider and the changeup (maybe cause he hasn't thrown it too much overall + more later) more as the night's gone on. Been especially impressed with his ability to manipulate the slider shape while throwing it 85+. |
