The Positives
As this depressing, ungainly season was limping to a close, Joiner and I recorded a pod in which we discussed reasons to keep watching the 2022 Boston Red Sox. One of the top reasons, we agreed, was Brayan Bello. I love Bryan Bello. I love his pitch mix. I love his darting changeup. I love the swagger he kept taking to the mound every game, even after getting off to one of the more unlucky starts to a Major League career in recent memory.
