Need a bounce back game from Houck tonight. Soto and Judge make the Yankems' line-up better than the Marlins.

If Houck can shut those two down, the odds of the SOX winning greatly improves. Again, thank you, Captain Obvious.

 

Go SOX!

Sox have been hot. Yankees have been struggling. Probably the biggest series of the season so far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The SOX have the 3rd best W/L record on the road in MLB. Only the O's and Yankems are slightly ahead.

[d-money]

That was a crappy first inning. Sox always struggle against these crafty soft tossers.

[d-money]

Quick first inning.

[d-money]

Gotta be able to hit Nestor Cortes. Can’t be cy young.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Some nice D by Romy and Devers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nestor the molester has a 1.78 ERA at home and over 5 on the road.

[d-money]

Don’t like the way this game has started. Struggling againsh a soft tosser.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Of the 5 highest WAR's in the AL 4 are AL East players. Henderson, Judge, Soto and Duran.

Hmm that’s surprising.

[d-money]

Rain delay. Ughh.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hmm that’s surprising.

 

Over the last few years he's probably been the Yankems' most effective starter against the SOX.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Of the 5 highest WAR's in the AL 4 are AL East players. Henderson, Judge, Soto and Duran.

 

BTW, the 5th player on that list is Bobby Witt, Jr. He ranks 3rd.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Interesting is that Judge has a .314 BA, 32 HR's and 83 RBI and he's second to Gunner Henderson in WAR. 32 HR's and 83 RBI's would be a very good full season for a lot of major leaguers and it's still early July. Edited July 6, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

The rain delay and need for Houck to rearm is troublesome. Especially since the BP wore itself out trying to , and succeeding, in downing Miami yesterday. Sox remain in this trend of no offense in early to mid innings, then some furious effort late.

[d-money]

Let’s hope the rain delay doesn’t affect this guy

[d-money]

Throw strikes ughh

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank you, Dopey Volpy. Just terrible base running.

[d-money]

Nice job by houck. Need to figure cortes out.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

One can only imagine what Billy Martin would have done to Volpy.

[d-money]

Cortes looks like Cy Young right now. My goodness.

[d-money]

Houck has to throw strikes.

[d-money]

Back to back walks. Afraid of contact.

[Maxbialystock]

Houck has 1 K and 3 BB's in 3.1 innings. Frightening.

[jung]

Verdugp being Verdugo. Houck can't find the plate with a hunting dog and Verdugo hits a lazy fly ball early in the count.

[Maxbialystock]

Rafaela has perfected the late throw. That one was not his fault, but the earlier one, to get the GIDP, was.

[d-money]

Have to limit the damage here.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Valdez sucks at 2nd. Why isn't Hamilton playing 2nd? WTF!

[d-money]

Houck struggling just to get someone out
