  1. The Red Sox had to juggle things around last time they went to Toronto, because of Houck, and now him being the closer makes it worse.
  2. Playoff hero he was, and if he gets hot like that again that’s great, but I just see him for what he has been, which was a utility player 4th OF/ 5th IF with the Dodgers, which is what I believe brought to Boston to be, but turned into a excellent full time CF. Just a career 240 hitter, so anything more than that is a plus.
  3. I still don’t feel very confident going forward with this BP, and especially with the schedule getting tough against the Div teams.
  4. Harder than it should have been, but taking 2 out of 3 against a good team was a good weekend.
  5. I’m hoping we find out, because getting 1 out saves have been very difficult for the Houckster.
  6. That’s why you need Whitlock here.
  7. Once Houck warmed up especially the 2nd time he should have been in the game.
  8. Doesn’t get enough on here, and has come up with some big hits the past few years.
  9. That’s what I mean the 8th inning guy faced their best hitters
  10. Sometimes the 8th inning guy is more important than the closer in the 9th. Great job today for The Schreib Man.
  11. Keep waiting for Kike, and Bobby D to repeat last year all you want, but their are more options this year that they might not get the chance.
  12. Once again production from the leadoff hitter. Maybe Kike should go back to the job he had with the Dodgers as 4th OF, or 5th IF when he comes back. Watch Moon’s ears perk up.
  13. You don’t hear as much 3rd time through the order stuff this year. Better all the way around.
  14. Not this year, and they showed his Ave earlier against FB.
  15. Story doesn’t have much of a chance against hard throwers.
  16. Just my confine. Haven’t heard anywhere else.
  17. Fireworks at Story Land today.
  18. He did have the best save of the season so far when he struck out the side against the Yankees on Sunday night baseball opening weekend, but outside of that has been shaky for the most part.
  19. It took 50+ games, but finally at least for now anyways Houck it appears is the closer. Don’t know if he can do the job, or not, and hasn’t pitched in back to back days yet, but it is worth a try, and the options are limited outside of a trade. The BP has played a big part in the season so far, and I got a feeling will play a big part going forward especially with that tough stretch coming up. It will will interested to see how things shake out when the injured trio of Sale, Evol, and Whitlock come back. Barnes is also in limbo.
  20. Like I said earlier this will be a big challenge for Kutter tonight.
  21. Agree I haven’t given up on Houck after 1 shaky game.
  22. Next Cora has to see how he does on back to back nights, which hasn’t happened yet. He only threw 15 pitches last night, so it will be interesting to see if Cora uses him tonight if needed. Big challenge for Kutter tonight.
  23. He did make it harder than it should have been.
