Red Sox 12, A’s 9: A Bad Good Win

There’s no such thing as a bad win. All wins are good wins. Except for this one. Maybe.

Every win counts the same. At the end of the season, we won’t look back and say “damn, I wish they would have won on July 9th by seven instead of three”. On Saturday, however, we might say, “damn, I wish we didn’t need to use Zack Kelly and Greg Weissert after opening up a nine-run lead”.

Going into tonight, we also hoped to see Brayan Bello take another step in the right direction. If you look at the box score, you’ll see he surrendered five runs in just over five innings, which is bad.
