Some amazing games, this year.
-
I never doubted our O would be good, but this is mind-boggling. It was the O's pitching, and now we face PIT, so .... Yes, gotta like the start.
-

Seems like there are a lot less posts after a win.
-
Yup! Where is the extra tough Boston media?
-
Sure, but why not be out in front on something we all saw coming? SB Leaders 10 BAL 3 gms 6 HOU 4g 5 NYY 3G 5 CWS 4g 5 CLE 4g 4 AZ, NYM, SEA 4g We and 11 other teams have 1. Five have none.

I like to see Yoshida at least walking a ton while he works on upping his BA. Our early OBP Numbers: .600 Duvall .533 Turner .467 Devers .455 Kike .400 Yoshida .400 Dugo .400 Ref .333 Casas Team: .395 (4th) We are also 4th in SLG at .564 and OPS at .959 after just 3 games. We are 27th in ERA at 7.67. OUCH!!! (28th in WHIP at 1.96)
-
The O's are lined up for a snOrt.
-
Tiny sample sizes, but it's nice to see Yoshida reach the .400 OBP mark. OPS as of right now: 1.957 "K-man" Duvall 1.455 "Utility" Kike 1.114 "Mookie's Shadow" Dugo 1.067 "Chubby" Devers 1.033 "Over-the-Hill" Turner
-
Duvall is scorching the ball, even with some of his outs!
-
Some encouraging pen numbers: 0.00 ERAs 3 IP Winckowski 3 IP Martin 2 IP Schreiber 1 IP Jansen The last 3 are the big 3. Houck may join this group, as might Crawford and/or Joely Rodriguez.
-
How many 1-2-3 innings has our offense had, this season?
-
If Schreiber can be the 2022 Schreiber, again, our pen might be a huge plus. Remember, he only had 4.1 IP by May 9th (33rd game of the season). He ended up with 65. (61 IP over the last 129 games.) Give him 75-80 IP at his 2022 numbers, and watch out!!!
-
Our pen is better and deeper than 2022 and even 2021. I'd prefer he take Whitlock's long relief role, but getting to the 5th inning is the norm, these days. BTW, Houck has a career 1.12 WHIP, so he might make it to the second batter in the 5th, on average. 4.48 runners after 4 IP at 1.12 compared to 5 runners after 4 at 1.25.
-
I'm hopeful Houck can take over Whitlock's pen role of 2021-2022. Moving Whitlock to the rotation created a big hole in what had been a shaky pen over those last 2 years. Houck for Whitlock Schreiber for Schreiber Martin for Strahm Jansen for Barnes/Ottavino Joely for Sawamura/Davis
-
One example of when people say the Sox look bad, I say, "Look at many other teams."
-
I wouldn't mind starting Houck, if they yank him after 18 PAs.
-
Can we buy a crooked number?
-
Houck Career, before today... (OPS Against) .504 first PA .647 second 1.017 third[ .455 first 25 pitches .675 26-50 .754 51-75 .767 76+ He looks like a RP'er, smells like a RP'er, tastes like a RP'er, yet he keeps starting.
-
Devers shows no signs of contractual laziness.
-
It seems Houck does much better the first and second times through the line-up. Mullins was the first guy up for the third time. Tie game.
-
1 is not crooked.
-
Crooked number needed, here.
-
Shouldn't this have been something we knew and did from day one?
-
Good points. When you look at what positions seem "covered" for 3 or more years, it's interesting to see what we have on the farm at the positions not covered. Covered: C: McGuire/Wong 1B: Casas 2B: Story 3B: Devers LF: Yoshida UT: Chang Uncovered/ to be covered by???: SS: Mayer/Romero CF: Rafaela RF: Paulino/Anthony/Abreu/Duran DH: Dalbec/ EValdez/Kavadas UT: Yorke/Hamilton/Lugo/Bonaci/Jordan Pitchers: Covered SP: Whitlock, Bello, Crawford, Winckowski (Sale w option) RP: Houck, Schreiber, Kelly, Mills, Ort Uncovered SP Mata SP Walter SP Murphy/Perales/Wikelman RP Fernandez/ Converted SP'ers
