Houck definitely scared the piss out of us, but he never quit and got that final out against one of the best hitters in MLB--and with the bases loaded yet.

Good way to start the road trip. Pivetta another strong start, and another shaky outing by Houck, but got a big out at the end.Not lots of hitting, but enough to get 6, and some more solid D. Edited June 25, 2022 by Old Red

MOON, imagine if they played two games at a time. That would be fun and confusing to watch.

I guess Houck is our baseball version of Steve McQueen. Maybe we should call him Bullitt.

Goodnight Moon goodnight peeperfrogs in the lagoon goodnight Bourn Bridge and cowlicks

Terrific first road win vs. Cleveland.

At this point I think he's hard to define. Thus a few cries tonight to make Whitlock the closer. While I think Whitlock is the better pitcher, I'm less sure he would be a better closer. Houck does not get the save tonight because he came in with a 4 run lead.

Interesting seeing Francona managing a game in which his bullpen failed him. Boy, do I remember that happening when he was in Boston. Despite managing the WS that broke the 86 year curse and then winning a 2d WS, it never failed--when a reliever blew a lead there was a cry on boston.com to get rid of the idiot manager. I remember once writing that the standard for any good manager was simple: win every single game or else. Edited June 25, 2022 by Maxbialystock

Are you thinking BDC? Boston Dot Com

[moonslav59]

One game, and Arroyo goes from .545 to .623.

 

JBJ, is sadly back below .590 (.588)

 

Pivetta has learned how to keep the team in a game while not being at his sharpest. No BBs is a great sign.

[Maxbialystock]

Yep. Yes, I did mean BDC, boston.com Edited June 25, 2022 by Maxbialystock
