Houck has a great arm always has. The talk of him moving to the pen, has always been just that - talk. He starts - he wants to start - he will continue to start. The competition between these guys is a good thing. They all will get their chances.
-
what I am saying is that he prepared for this season with quite a bit of work prior to his call up - possibly too much. If the pros aren't concerned with that arm, then I hope that he doesn't get treated like he is always one or two pitches away from being at the end.
-
You're likely right. My guess is that he gets 2 more starts and if things don't improve for him, the injury bug bites.
-
I guess my question would be how many starts did he have before they called him up? Based on that, doesn't look like protecting that arm by limiting his pitches to any major extent is particularly important. 109 shouldn't have much impact on him at this point.
-
Kluber of course gets at least one more start.
-
What does hamilton have to do to get the call? He deserves the call up and the opportunity. I'm not really buying in to the righty lefty thing. Arroyo, as talented as he seems to be, just can't stay on the field. Hamilton has done the work and brings a great skill set to the table.
-
I watched the last two starts for him. I don't see any reason why they wouldn't stick with him at this point for sure. Any starting pitcher that can keep you in ball games is worth quite a bit these days.
-
Watching Tapia play and compete over the past few games has been a treat. He is a disrupter who can play the game. He really can get down the line. Bunting, stealing and in general running keeps the pressure on.
-
Watching Chris Sale and I do mean the Chris Sale pitch last night gave me as much pleasure as just about anything I have seen sports wise in recent years. I am just so glad that we were all able to see him do it in a Red Sox uniform. I do understand all of the whining that went along with his resigning I guess, although personally I have have never questioned it. I guess that it is even possible (hopefully not) that we won't see that type of dominating fastball from him again but for now what a sight it was to see. A vintage top of the food chain competitor.
-
hmmm - yup
-
Some of us crueler hearts would call that choke.
-
moon was clutch - don't bug him. lol
-
So let me try to clear things up - You saying that you must have been randomly lucky back in your day seemed to me that you were saying that you likely were a clutch player. Most of the clutch players that I have known and worked with, often times didn't realize that they were nor did it matter. They seemed to have been made for the bigger moments. Hope that helps. Now maybe you can tell me what was meant by the statement that I read that the ball Casas hit last night with the bases loaded had an estimated batting average of .850?
-
If that band wagon goes by my house one more time, I might just have to jump on.
-
I'm sorry to have to say this, but most of the players who I considered clutch players didn't necessarily tell people that they were. In my world, there are many who come through more often in the big moments - clutch. There are many more who don't - choke. If a ball struck off the bat of Casas can have an estimated batting average of .850 - (what does that even mean?) then I guess it is ok to truly think that clutch and choke are two things that do exist.
-
It would appear that we have another "clutch" hitter in the making. If you don't believe it, ask him. If you live for these moments, and you come through, could it be that clutch is for real. lol what have I done?
-
He is as tough a competitor who has picked up a baseball. I loved the trade that brought him here as well as the resigning that has caused so much panic about how the red sox chose to spend their money. It has been a long road for him to get back to where he is now. We need to sit back and enjoy him while he does what he does.
-
It has been an extremely difficult process to watch. From top to bottom I'm afraid there just isn't that much to get excited about. No boo bird here. Just a lifelong fan who finds this whole experimental ride bloom has us on to be kind of sad. Believe me too I am looking for the next real thing but I just don't see that player on the horizon. Reality can be painful I guess.
-
Pretty mcuch how I feel. Simply looking at the product that we put out on to that field day in day out is pathetic. Players out of position, journeymen pros etc. I'm thinking that right now I don't see this huge farm buildup either. I'm a fan who really doesn't even care to pay attention to a team that I have loved for so long. I do not think that bloom has a clue based on what I have seen. Oh and for the record note that I am not comparing him to anyone else. He is responsible for this mess and he needs to own it completely. He has been here long enough. it's his gig.
-
How could that have been possible? lol
-
This is tough to understand - using Dalbec at short.
-
To date it really does look as though Bloom has made one blunder right after another. There really is nothing that tells me that this is a .500 team at all. I don't find them interesting at all even to watch.
-
Uconn!!!
-
I actually am excited to see if Kluber's still got it. If the pieces fall together, I have to admit that they do have some real potential in this pitching lineup.
-
the Red Sox timetables for both Mata and Bello likely will not have either one of them up with the big club for a while. But in terms of potential good strong power arms, they both got it. If they were both in Fenway, I would be excited enough to watch this team at least 3 out of the 5 days that starting pitchers start. Maybe even 4 - Sale, Pivetta, Mata, Bello.
