A Realistic View at 2021: Part III
5GoldGlovesOF,75 replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
At the time I was livid and posted accordingly when the organization pulled Houck. But not because he had a perfect game (no one is going nine, especially a rookie on three days rest), but because he had been perfect, and we all knew the alternative was an imperfect bullpen. Houck could've thrown one more frame and dispatched of the scheduled 7-8-9 batters. But then his pitch count might be up another 10 or 12, and limit his usage out in relief on Monday or Tuesday. I'm sure all possibilities were being considered, but as we're all aware, it's hard to look ahead to another game when we can't even look ahead to who can get batters out in the 7th, 8th or 9th. -

Someone correct me if I'm wrong: after today's Game 162s, in the event of any ties (2 for the WC, 3-way for one or two WC spots, 4-way), the Red Sox will automatically be playing at Fenway Park -- unless they choose to be Team C in a 3-way; in that case, they'd sacrifice a game on the road in exchange for one day of rest for the broken wings of the bullpen.
-
I think Cora has to stay away from at least the first three for a day, and roll with Sale, and some combo of Hiro, Barnes, Darwinzon and Whitlock. If they need a two-inning guy -- especially with the luxury of a four-run or more lead -- don't be surprised to see Pivetta or maybe Perez.
-
MLB.com lists Sale as Sunday's starter. I'm just wondering how many days before Houck can go back out there; starting, relieving, closing -- throwing out the first pitch, anything!
-
They're playing at home no matter what, just need to know if it's Monday or Tuesday: if there are any ties that the Sox are involved in, they're home with best head-to-head record. Unless they choose to be on the road (unlikely)...

Don't throw 0-2 near his bat.
-
Throw it to the top of the zone and pop him up.
-
Strike four.
-
Did you guys know that Martin Perez was once a singer? I did, but only because NESN replays the commercial 89 kajillion times with every pitching change this week.
-
Great strategy by Nats to walk the Sox' pitcher to get him tired running the bases before the bottom of the 9th.
-
Boston's second single of the game!
-
Tie game in the last inning between two of the worst teams in the big leagues this week.
-
Robles won't give up a grand slam because he'll bounce in the tying run first.
-
Way to come up big, Otto, and bail out your teammate who couldn't see that fly ball.
-
Put him on and pitch to the best hitter in baseball with the bases loaded.
-
Kike leads our team in single today.
-
We love our pinch-whiffers for the pitchers in NL parks.
-
Don't the Nats know in a Red Sox game they're supposed to pop up with men on base? I'm freaklng exhausted, and still two more innings of relief pitchers to watch. Who? Ottavino for one, and... Davis? Surely not Robles again. Or Barnes?
-
Bell is seeing too many 95s
-
Yes! Huge catch with Soto coming up.
-
Let's hope Braiser doesn't throw too hard today so his arm doesn't fall off.
-
Hattrick for JD. Sox whiffers have just matched Nats for Ks, in a game that matters a little more for the visitors.
-
Cora is not "chasing wins." Tomorrow is the real must-win -- to get to at least Monday. He's saving Sale and Whitlock for a Sunday W.
-
My nerves are scathed, but we're still ahead. Rattling around in my head is Joe Castig's whiny voice: Can YOU believe it?
