Red Sox's Bello Struggles, Rotation Banged Up

About this episode

Brayan Bellos dismal start to the season has the Boston Red Sox and fans at their wits end. With the second-highest ERA in franchise history after six starts, Bello has been pulled early in games, failing to record five outs and surrendering homers. His command has been inconsistent, and his attitude has been questioned. The teams offense hasnt provided enough support, and the rotation is banged up, leaving Bello in the mix until Sonny Gray returns. The proposed solution: face Tarik Skubal on May fourth, take the likely loss, and then reset with fresh arms. If Bello continues to struggle, he may be sent to Worcester.

It's April 30th, you're listening to Boston Red Sox News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. Brand Bello's start to the season has been a straight-up nightmare for the Boston Red Sox. In his first six starts, he's posted the second-highest ERA through that many games in franchise history with the team getting outscored by 20. Runs in those outings, he rarely makes it past five innings, and his command has been all over the place. Earlier this week against the Blue Jays, things got even worse. Still face just 11 batters, failed to record five outs, and gave up a homer to Ben Rice before Alex Korra yanked him early. His ERA climbed higher, and he sulted off the mound when pulled, adding fuel to the fire on his shaky attitude. Fans and the team are fed up, especially with Boston's offense struggling to back him up. This isn't the same guy who was solid last summer, it's like he's unraveling at the worst time, turning potential winds into blowouts and testing. The rotation is banged up too, with Garrett Crochet, Cutter Crawford, Tanner Huck, and

others on the injured list, forcing Below into the mix until. Sunny Gray returns on May 6th. That leaves a tight schedule over the next five games, making it tough to skip him without some creative maneuvering. Here's the play. Slide Below up to face Tark Scoobaw on May 4th in Detroit, take the likely L there, then reset with fresh arms like Jake Benin, and Peyton Toley. If he flops again, ship him to Worcester and move on, smart chest and a brutal stretch.
