The Boston Red Sox achieved a weekend sweep against their rivals, the New York Yankees, creating a dominant atmosphere in Fenway. Pitcher Brayan Bello had the best outing of his season, performing exceptionally well despite minor issues with pitch counts. Coach Alex Cora displayed impressive strategic management, making effective player substitutions that contributed to the team's success. Furthermore, Trevor Story demonstrated his pivotal role in the lineup, generating offensive momentum during the games. Overall, the series showcased the Red Sox's growth and confidence against their storied rivals.
This undoubtedly is the best outing Bello has had all season, bar none. I even have a hard time nitpicking as his trouble with 0-2 counts because he was an absolute force on the bump this afternoon.
Look at what happens when you encourage confidence and not make arbitrary moves? Pulling Dobbins last night felt like one of those moves and almost backfired on him, letting Bello do his thing.
It feels like how Story goes, the Red Sox go, and he certainly has confidence right now.
A much better managed game for Cora, showcasing strategic decisions that paid off, like putting Refsnyder and Gonzalez in against a lefty.
