This team is so inconsistent. Hard to get a long winning streak like that.

Looks like shit today.
I guess I'm wrong again. The problem so far today isn't the Sox hitting--which so far stinks--but Houck's pitching.Originally Posted by Maxbialystock
And clearly not pitching
Just win 6 of every 10…
Some on this site feel they must win every inning. If the Sox don’t, they get in here and complain.
The Yankees could go 0-162 and it wouldn't be enough
Certainly debatable, but Houck has a better career ERA and better 21-22 ERA.
Way more game thread traffic when things aren’t going well, for sure.
I did my complaining/worrying before the game started. I was--so far--right about the Sox hitting. Kelly has them mesmerized.
But I also thought Houck would pitch a lot better than he is.
But to your point, what we all need to do today is to remember how well the Sox played last night. Not a lot of hitting, but good defense and terrific pitching.
Or as Notin puts it so well, "just win 6 out of every 10 . . ."
Asking for a winning streak from this bunch is not complaining. This game could be already over. Anyway this team is what it is. They will likely finish above 500 but not 20 games.
That's a fact, jack.
This reminds me a tiny bit of Houck's last start. He gave up the early run, then just got better and better. This time he gave up 3 in the 1st, 1 in the 2d, and nobody even got on base in the 3d.
Kelly has just stayed tough.
This looks like a game the Sox have no hope of winning, but I find both pitchers fascinating. Kelly continues to dominate our guys every which way but loose. But Houck now seems to have settled in.
Six up, six down for Houck. Neat.
As good as Kelly is, I think that home plate ump might be better. I don't think he's missed a call yet and there have been a whole lot of close ones.
