November 20, 201411 yr http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/...for-assignment/ Just so we can have it somewhere. My initial reaction to this was HURRAH and my reaction after thinking about it for a little bit is HURRAH Also, my favorite Belisario memory was when he gave up all those hits to the Twins because I was at a bar and I was like "this sucks, I've totally been jocking this guys balls on Soxtalk and he's going to blow this save" and then he blew the save.
November 20, 201411 yr Chris Sale bobblehead day vs the Yankees. Danks pitches and absolute masterpiece for 8 innings and leaves with a 3-0 lead . . .
November 20, 201411 yr 3.69 xFIP. He deserved an extention. He actually did have a bit of a hot stretch for a while, but then he got Dylan Axelrod bad.
November 20, 201411 yr Author I remember seeing him early on and thinking "this guy was a great signing, look at how much his stuff moves." And then everything was up, up, up.

My favorite Belisario memory was attending the Sox-Yankees game he blew after Danks threw 8 shutout innings. Also I kept wanting to put Bottles the Mole from Banjo-Kazooie's head on Ronald Belisario's body and calling it "Bottles the Moleisario" because I think they kind of look alike but I never got around to it and now it's too late.

God what a comparison. It's never too late for something that amazing. I would say do it.
November 20, 201411 yr He just absolutely cratered at the beginning of the season, and when the tried to make him a closer. He was either absolutely terrible, or very, very good. There was no in between.
November 20, 201411 yr QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) I like that his name is Ronald. After watching him pitch, McDonald would have been a more appropriate last name.
November 20, 201411 yr I am okay with this, especially with what he would have gotten in arbitration. I do think he's the type of reliever that will have his share of good years (along with his share of bad years).
November 20, 201411 yr He wore glasses while he pitched, not a lot of pitchers do that so that's cool.
November 20, 201411 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:16 PM) lets just retitle this thread to "FAVORITE BELISARIO MEMORIES" The game against the Yankees where I believe the Sox lead 3-0 going into the 9th, and Belly blew the game. Soxtalk posters were actually ripping Robin for taking John Danks OUT of a game. Brings a tear to my eye. Edited November 20, 201411 yr by Dick Allen
November 20, 201411 yr Hey Ron, thanks for your contributions to the Sox, and for not eating all of the food here on planet earth.
November 20, 201411 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 01:20 PM) After watching him pitch, McDonald would have been a more appropriate last name. I did like Belli-sorry-ass a lot.

November 20, 201411 yr QUOTE (JoshPR @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) Should have taken that bet from Feeky.... LOL . Felt bad for Feeky and wite. They were his biggest backers on this board and he just continued to suck.
November 20, 201411 yr My favorite Belisario moment was when he was still with the Dodgers. Comes in to start the 8th inning, 3 run lead... walks the first two guys on 8 pitches... hits the 3rd guy in the back. Mattingly brings in Paco Rodriguez who promptly serves up a go-ahead grand slam... Dumpster diving for bullpen assets rarely works out, Putnam being the lone exception the last few seasons.
November 20, 201411 yr Thank gawd. My gosh that guy was awful. One less stiff on the roster. Keep cutting dead weight guys, Mr. Hahn.
November 20, 201411 yr I remember when Soxtalk coined the nickname, "Blowasavio." That must have been TUC.
November 20, 201411 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:50 PM) What are you one of those hipsters? Just a Russell Westbrook fan.
November 21, 201411 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) I am okay with this, especially with what he would have gotten in arbitration. I do think he's the type of reliever that will have his share of good years (along with his share of bad years). Agreed. He will have another good year at some point, but he can do it somewhere else.
