    Houck had a career half season. He was pretty bad after the ASB.
  2. illinoisredsox
    They just posted Houck’s rehab stats today; they were ugly again.
  3. illinoisredsox
    That’s why he only gets used in games where you fall well behind early and you don’t really care if he gets hit so long as he can save the rest of the pen some innings.
  4. illinoisredsox
    Sox are going to pay him one way or another. If they release him, someone probably takes a shot on him for the prorated portion of the MLB minimum.
  5. illinoisredsox
    Yeah, he doesn’t even offer potential long relief to eat up innings that Buehler does. And I’m not advocating keeping Walker.
  6. illinoisredsox
    IMO, if they choose to keep him, Buehler should be relegated to the long relief role Newcomb had early on. He only comes in if the starter has a bad day and it doesn’t really matter if he does well or not.
  7. illinoisredsox
    Unfortunately, that aged well for about an hour.
  8. illinoisredsox
    They hit him in one inning; haven’t done anything in the other 4.
  9. illinoisredsox
    Sad thing is he should have been out of the inning on the Eaton play. OTOH, it took two tremendous plays to get the first two outs so maybe it evened up.
  10. illinoisredsox
    That may very well be the message Cora is sending to Breslow. As Middlebrooks said, the matchup doesn’t matter if the pitcher isn’t throwing strikes.
  11. illinoisredsox
    Doubt we see him for another inning; he looks ill.
  12. illinoisredsox
    Narvaez can’t catch every game; no catcher can. The backup is going to get 1-2 starts per week. That’s true on every team. Narvaez is already showing signs of some fatigue. Wong is having a horrible year and you’ll get no argument from me on possibly upgrading from him, but he’s what they have right now and he is going to play a couple times a week.
  13. illinoisredsox
    Seriously?
  14. illinoisredsox
    Alright, a position player sighting on the mound. Gotta love it.
  15. illinoisredsox
    Rafaela didn’t bust it out of the box there, but that actually turned out to be fortuitous; LF made an almost perfect play and a good accurate throw that probably nails him at 2nd if he had tried to go.
  16. illinoisredsox
    Wouldn’t shock me to see Bello actually get through 6 allowing only the 3 runs for another “quality” start.
  17. illinoisredsox
    Only half of them; the other half are Blue Jays fans who came down. That’s part of the Henry dilemma; the only thing that will affect his view is less people in the stands, but opponents fans keep filling up the stadium.
  18. illinoisredsox
    The announcers (both TV and radio) have said he’s throwing it 2 mph faster this year than he did last year, which means less drop. So it gets hit more and harder, so it gets called less,
  19. illinoisredsox
    Bereavement leave; he’ll be gone for the whole series.
  20. illinoisredsox
    Bello wasn’t going to get to first in time on that chopper. Not quite ERod level but …
  21. illinoisredsox
    Bello appears to have reverted to early season form tonight.
  22. illinoisredsox
    Bello gets 2 breaks on that AB. 3-1 pitch was a checked swing foul on a ball 6 inches inside. Still walks him.
  23. illinoisredsox
    Ump was pointing fair before it hit the ground?
  24. illinoisredsox
    No, he’s just a guy who relishes negativity. Has he posted his “I’m outa here” message.
  25. illinoisredsox
    Cora is still owed around $17M through 2027. Henry isn’t going to pay him to do nothing. The bottom line is more important than results to JH. IMO, Cora is probably not the right guy for this young roster; he’s better with a veteran group.
