4/17 vs Guardians

[Moviegoer]

The call on the field had to be that he did not touch first base. It cannot be interference because the ball did not hit him. Being in fair territory is not enough to be called out after overruning first base. You have to make an attempt toward second base, which he never did. Even a slight attempt will be enough, but he didn't. Gotta just be a put out for not touching the base, which looked close on replay.

Just terrible luck that the guy backing up the throw was right there and made the attempt to tag him.

Pretty sure the turn toward second he did after he stopped is enough to count as the attempt. At least in the ump's judgement.

 

[patinorange]

The rule is "immediately return to the base." It does not matter which side of the line he's on as long as he doesn't make a move toward second.

Thanks, so they called him for missing the bag. Jeesh.

Devers looked like a future Batting champion in 2019.

 

[ObstructedView]

At least we have great 3B depth. Not every team has the luxury of a Bobby D being able to step in.

Least in the ump's judgememt.

There was no attempt. If that was the call it was the wrong call. But I'm nearly certain it was not.

Why isn't the hitting coach getting Devers to cut down his swing and go opposite field.

He can't go hit for him. He can only talk to him.

A what?

[scotian1]

Devers is completely out of control, terrible over swinging, jerking his head off the bat.

 

[Norm loves Vera]

Houck Yeah!

[mauidano]

A lot of ground balls to Casas tonight with Houck covering.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Houck has really come into his own this year. Awesome development.

 

[mauidano]

Fuck yeah!!!!!

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Under 2 hours? That's incredible.

 

[ObstructedView]

What a gift from Houck

 

[Bergs]

Wow.

 

[mr_smith02]

Complete Water

 

[RorschachsMask]

Wow, Houck was nasty.

 

[joe dokes]

The Major!

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

That was fucking fantastic.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Hell of a performance by Houck. Good for him.

 

[Sprowl]

ELWTHTACGSO Dirty Water!

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Greg Maddux efficiency.m

 

[LesterFan]

1 hour 51 minutes

well, officially 1:49

 

[strek1]

I can't remember the last CG shutout we had. Feels likes ages ago. Tremendous job.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

That was great to watch. Houck was brilliant.

 

[JOBU]

Ok. This was ridiculous

 

[MFYankees]

Absolutely brilliant water!!

 

[jteders1]

That was an absolute joy to watch. Never a doubt about Houk's stuff, if this is who is is....we have our number 1.

 

[Jason Bae]

A Maddux, no less.

 

[mauidano]

Greg Maddux like performance.

Stunning.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Crazy.

Amazing performance.

Total stud.

[patinorange]

I do not believe what I just saw. Wow.

 

[joe dokes]

1:49?

Holy 1966 Batman!

 

[shawnrbu]

What was the time of game?

 

[ngruz25]

That was thoroughly awesome. Under 100 pitches! Game over by 9 pm! What year is this!

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

94 pitches, under 2 hours

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Houck has 4 starts. In three of those games, he hasn’t walked a batter.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Greg Madhouck.

 

[Bergs]

How did he get a CG only getting through the order 2 times?

 

[simplicio]

That must have been a Monaco game because DOB is acting like he hasn’t seen one in years.

It's an interesting list, not all names you'd expect.
Houck 24
Wacha 22
Sale 19
Brian Johnson 17
Stephen Wright 16
Rich Hill 15
Buchholz 14 (x2)
Lester 13
Aaron Cook 12

I remember the Cook one, it only took him 81 pitches.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

1 hr 49 minutes according to DOB. Wow.

 

[absintheofmalaise]

I’m not sure our hitting coach does much coaching.

I'm not sure Devers and Rafaela do much listening. Their swings are huge. Especially with two strikes.

 

[mauidano]

Absolutely dominating. If you love baseball you just love to see pitchers dominate.

Wow!

 

[JOBU]

1:49 that’s got to be the shortest Sox game in decades

 

[moretsyndrome]

Sub 2 hours. Rapid water.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Greg Madhouck.

I'll allow it.

 

[Al Zarilla]

It’s like Cleveland themselves in the ninth said “fuck it” you win.

 

[TFisNEXT]

Just popping in here to say I wasn’t expecting Prime Greg Maddux out there.
