    Thanks for the info. You’re the prospect go to.
  2. Old Red
    He’s only pitched 1 game so far, and you’ve got him pegged already. I don’t know why you don’t think not only the big increase in innings pitched last year plus the number of innings he pitched could have any possible effects on his tail off as the season worn down. Like I said I’m waiting to see how he does this year, before I judge where he ranks in the rotation. You seem to have made up your mind already. I want to see more, before I do. I still haven’t given up the thought that Houck, and Whit would make a good backend of the BP.

    Stats tell a story, but injuries can change that story. Back surgery ended one season, and he got hit in the face in another, which both most likely affected his pitching IMO.
  4. Old Red
    Was 2024 the only year Houck has been healthy, and the only time he threw 179 innings? If Houck does the same thing this year then you may have a better argument.
  5. Old Red
    Fast start to 2025? Pre-July 2024 he had thrown less innings, and the more innings that piled up his stuff wasn’t as good. Maybe it’s nothing more than he worn down as starters do. This year may show more of what he really is.

    Lots of must see talent has come through Portland the last few years that I have watched. What’s must see in Portland this year if anything?
  7. Old Red
    Same lineup today outside of Narv Man catching.
  8. Old Red
    Good summation. The increase in innings pitched last year was a big increase, so it’s not surprising Houck tailed off. How he ends up this year may be more telling.
  9. Old Red
    I don’t think pointing out that any starting pitcher who tails off after the ASB is not really uncommon especially making the leap that Houck made in innings pitched last year is arguing. If someone else had pointed that out you probably wouldn’t have called it arguing , but that’s cool. Cro Man will be under the same watch this year.
  10. Old Red
    Was the year prior when Houck got hit in the face? I wasn’t thinking Houck was a top of the rotation guy based off of last year, and would want to see him do it again this year, before I went there. We’ll see, but making 9 more starts last year, and throwing 73 more innings was a big increase.

    Oh I fully understand all the worry, and concern, but after listening to Cora explain how Raffy was behind his conditioning early in ST I went with the bad mechanics being all messed up theory instead of he was still being injured. Raffy starting out as bad as he did made things even look worse.
  12. Old Red
    Houck had Never thrown anything close to the 179 innings that he ended up throwing last year, and most likely wore down as the innings piled up, so it’s really not surprising of the post ASB numbers from the pre ASB numbers, and yes sometimes that carries on to the next year.
  13. Old Red
    That’s true, because it would have to be from long distance, because I think pretty much I was the only one who was NOWHERE near the Raffy Ledge you were on. At least you have plenty of company.
  14. Old Red
    I’ve been trying to talk MVP, and others down off the Raffy ledge for the past few days. After Raffy got a couple of hits tonight maybe he, and others will at least come back inside the window. You’re welcome!
  15. Old Red
    Excellent pitched, and well played game, and a well needed win at that.
  16. Old Red
    He was The Last Man Standing. As I’ve said before IMO if Raffy would have come up for contract first, and Mookie last most likely Mookie would be here, and Raffy wouldn’t.
  17. Old Red
    To be put back on the books for replacements. Especially the pitching.
  18. Old Red
    It’s a lot more likely that he is, than he is not IMO. Just watching through the years.
  19. Old Red
    Mazz is a tough critic, so if he’s in it must be a good thing. He did make a good point about KC’s agent though.
  20. Old Red
    Fully aware of that, but I was talking about none of the slumping players have been sat down, or there has been NO movement up, or down in the batting order that has been suggested on here.
  21. Old Red
    I was going on the assumption that the posters on here had watched the games, and knew what the 3-67 would mean. I wasn’t assuming anything else.
  22. Old Red
    Normal lineup, and normal batting order tonight.
  23. Old Red
    Mazz is in. Says Excellent, Excellent, Excellent, and KC will probably hate his agent in 3 years.🤫 Good point. Who’s his agent? It must not be Boras.
  24. Old Red
    My point being that 3-67 was all that was really needed.Going further didn’t really add anything IMO. 3-67 says it all. 2 RBI was the big add on.
  25. Old Red
    OPS? Raffy, Casas, RAF Man, and Wong are 3-67 with 2 RBI, and Raffy’s was off a BB. Plain, and simple.
