[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The following is so obvious that even Capt Obvious says it's obvious.

Houck needs to have an excellent start. He needs to go 7 innings. With this SOX BP I almost wanted to post Houck has to go 9.

[moonslav59]

KCR lost, but just about everyone else won (BAL, CLE & MIN,) so we could tie with KCR with a win, tonight.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Snell K'd 15 Rockies in 6 innings today. A new record for most K's in 6 innings or less. I wonder if that was the same Rockies' team the SOX just played?

Teams are looking to trade for him. Apparently, the Yanks are one.

[d-money]

Gotta win tonight. Twins won. You’re chasing them as well.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX picked up a DFA from the Dodgers. He's Yohan Ramirez, A RH reliever who sports a 5.97 ERA in 32 games this season.

Breslow says "I've gotten you a starter, a RH bat and a reliever. No excuses now. Go get 'em boys!'

Looking at the sox schedule it’s brutal down the road.

[vegasbob]

Still pretty much dumpster diving . Paxton is no guarantee other than he does show up to pitch, which took a long time to get around to in his first stint in Boston

[d-money]

A leadoff double. Not the way you wanna start s game.

Paxton wasn’t any good here. Here’s basically a body.

[vegasbob]

You would think they would find a way to pitch to Verdugo. He is hitting well after a long slump

[d-money]

Nice start houck. Geez

[d-money]

Gotta limit the damage.

[d-money]

This is awful pitching by houck.

[d-money]

Needed that. Hope he can get out of this.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I guess Criswell is the SOX ACE now.

[FredLynn]

Already 3-0

Game almost over

[d-money]

The worse possible start. Houck lays an egg in the first inning.

[notin]

This is awful pitching by houck.

 

Only Verdugo and Torres hit the ball hard…

[d-money]

Hope the Sox can answer but the pitching hasn’t been great this series.

[d-money]

Only Verdugo and Torres hit the ball hard…

 

Still gave up 3 runs.

[notin]

When I see Westbrook in the lineup and Romy in at 1b I die a little bit inside…

[illinoisredsox]

Only Verdugo and Torres hit the ball hard…

 

Doesn’t matter to him. As I’ve written before, dmoney would consider JBJ pulling 3 balls from over the fence good pitching. He’d say 2 bunt singles and a chopper off the plate was awful pitching.

Red Sox pitchers showing that tendency of not being quite ready for the first inning. Always wondered about their pregame routine and bullpen session. Are they limiting the throwing before games to try and save arms ? If so, only a guess, it is not working.

 

Always playing from behind until we get to the BP stage, then play from ahead ( for a short while)

[FredLynn]

Only Verdugo and Torres hit the ball hard…

 

It’s 3-0

Well you do have choices. It could be a Valdez call up and Dom Smith

[d-money]

Better hope houck settles down. He took the air out of this game.

You can’t let Torres drive in two runs there. You do that and it’s bad pitching
