Red Sox (Houck) vs Guardians (Lively): 4/25/25, 7:10pm

[Brandon Glick]

I'd say it's about time for Tanner Houck to get his butt in gear this season. No better time than right now.

[mvp 78]

Win? 

I will say that I'm not fond of the red jerseys on the road.

Whitlock, Slaten and Chapman all available today. We need Houck to go at least 5 innings today. Got to get the ball to Whitlock for 2.

Whitlock, Slaten and Chapman = Kirk, Spock and McCoy in the bullpen's landing party.

We are going to need Houck pitching well, and tonight would be a good time to see improvement.

If he gets shelled, tonight, how much longer of a leash will he be given?

Gio will likely replace Newcomb, but Dobbins has looked pretty good in just 2 starts.

Baring injury Houck will have as long a leash as the hitters, or non hitters as the case may be IMO.

Really putting it on the line.

How long is that?

Knowing Cora it’s a lot longer than a yardstick.

Better get a win tonight, because you can't always count on me to bail the team out when it drops below .500,  ... Wait a sec   ...  OK . Gotta go.  Shadeur is on the phone  ...

[mvp 78]

Postponed. Time to watch Sandlin and POR.

This answer allows you to say you were right, if it's 3 starts or 23 more. 

Well played.

Celtics night tonight anyway, so nice to see two tomorrow.

[Thunder]

I will be at both games tomorrow. I purchased tickets for tomorrow’s game about a month ago. Figured I might as well see both games while I’m up there

[moonslav59]

Nice to see Houck not allow a hit, tonight, but...
