8/29 @ Cleveland

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If Aruaz is injured, Shaw has 2nd base experience.

[moonslav59]

Missed a nice chance, but expecting Arauz to pull more magic tricks was too much to ask.

[Maxbialystock]

Interesting top of the 4th. Garza needed 40 pitches. But Cleveland is off to tomorrow, so they can send almost anyone to the mound.

 

I like 3-0 more than 2-0, but would prefer, say, 10-0.

Cora didn't take it well. Munoz in for Arauz. Correction, Arauz injured on that hard swing and miss. Or something.

[Tedballgame]

Walking back to back guys is no way to protect a 3-0 lead. Geeeez!

[Jasonbay44]

Houck needs to stop walking guys

[Tedballgame]

No control.

How many 2Bmen have we gone through?

 

GS at 2B

42 Arroyo (IL)

40 Kike (IL)

30 Mawrin (DFA)

14 Chavis (DFA)

5 Arauz (Hurt, today)

(Vaz has seem 5 innings at 2B)

[Maxbialystock]

Houck throwing 50% strikes for the game. This is not typical for MLB starters. Or relievers.

[d-money]

A 3 run lead and this guy’s giving up free passes. What a joke.

[moonslav59]

No control.

 

Not even close.

[d-money]

Houck throwing 50% strikes for the game. This is not typical for MLB starters. Or relievers.

 

If he keeps this up his dreams of being a starter will go down the drain.

[moonslav59]

Time for a DP.

[Maxbialystock]

Good golly, miss molly. Houck walks 2 and finally, finally, throws a strike down the middle and gets an easy out.

[Maxbialystock]

Another easy out.

[moonslav59]

Phew!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

HoUCK is really pressing his LUCK.

[Maxbialystock]

Nasty slider for strike 2. Then a fast ball 2 feet outside for ball 3.

 

Houck has gone 4 and given up 3 walks, but no hits and no runs. Yes, sports fans, we have a no-hitter in progress!

[moonslav59]

69 pitches. I'd bring im out for the 5th.

[d-money]

Can’t believe he got out of that. Can he give us another inning?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If he keeps this up his dreams of being a starter will go down the drain.

 

At this point Whitlock will be a starter next season and Houck will be valuable in the pen.

Wasn’t Chavis traded?

[Tedballgame]

Devers scorched that one.

[Tedballgame]

Wasn’t Chavis traded?

 

Yes, for the lefty reliever.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That's no straw man in center for Cleveland.

[Jasonbay44]

Good to see JD getting hot

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That was supposed to be a curve ball, but it didn't curve.

[TylerD]

Houck with a no hitter so far. Cool.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Houck with a no hitter so far. Cool.

 

A Nolan Ryan type no-hitter. 9 walks, no hits, 13K's and a pitch count of close to 200.

[iortiz]

Where are all Houck haters? LOL!
