4/17 vs Guardians

[ngruz25]

Houck to the IL with a Gatorade bath-induced cold.

 

[fenwaypaul]

A complete-game no-walker!

 

[strek1]

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

LOL - "Cut down his swing"? Anybody who can get him to do that should run for President. What power of persuasion it must take.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

That was impressive for Houck since he has struggled so much with getting past three times through the line up. The whole starting pitching staff has been way better than expected.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

You think this ownership is paying for Gatorade? That was tap water.

 

[mauidano]

21 out of 29 first pitch strikes. Dialed in and owning the moment.

 

[ngruz25]

“What do we do now?”

Great line from DOB.

 

[Sad Sam Jones]

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.

That wasn't terrible luck, that was the reigning platinum glove winner vs. a dumb runner.

 

[scotian1]

What a great performance!!

 

[mikeford]

Got the Maddux

 

[joe dokes]

“What do we do now?”

Great line from DOB.

Game ended early? Duck into the woods and smoke some weed before Mom comes to get you.

 

[DadOfFenway]

That was simply amazing. what a performance.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Yeah, definitely smart play. Lots of fielders would have just thrown it back to the pitcher, but it was kind of unlucky that the overthrow went right to him in the spot where the runner was.

 

[Daniel_Son]

I feel like this has the makings of a watershed moment for the team. You've got a young player who's got all the tools to succeed but hasn't quite put them together, who's struggled mightily to become a viable starting pitcher, who's suffered a significant injury last year and worked his way back, and then he turns this in. "They say I can't go three times through? Fuck it, I'll throw a CGSO."

I'm fucking pumped. Let's keep it going tomorrow.

 

[canderson]

1:49 game time is amazing. Mooooore

 

[shawnrbu]

No one wants to face this rotation in a short series.

 

[RS2004foreever]

The starting pitching is insane.

85 win pace. Makes the playoffs in the NL last year.

On the losing end in Detroit 25 years ago.

 

[Curt S Loew]

Only needs 109 more to catch Walter Johnson.

 

[teddywingman]

Missed the game, but man... nice looking box score.

 

[joe dokes]

Would have been a great game to keep score. The Cleveland page would be art.

Yeah but they’re putting that Gatorade money back into the on field product right?

Amen, this game could be a foundational moment. Make it So Red Sox

Damon Buford and Lou Merloni hitting 5-6 in the lineup. Shocked they lost 1-0.

 

[Ale Xander]

What a performance by Houck!

 

[TFisNEXT]

Damon Buford and Lou Merloni hitting 5-6 in the lineup. Shocked they lost 1-0.

That might be the worst hitting outfield I’ve ever seen. Damon Buford cornered by Donnie Sadler and Darren Lewis.

 

[LogansDad]

Holy shit. Houck.

Wong needs to be catching Houck again.

Creighton Gubanich? No recollection of that dude. Must have been a getaway day.

Great Post Game Interview on NESN from Tanner.

He gets how cool this is.

For real? That game was his first ML start.

 

[mauidano]

Paplebon is irritating AF. He still has a punchable face.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Nah. I mean, I don't think so @CreightonGubanich

 

[ShaneTrot]

That was just an unexpected, unbelievable, and needed performance. That was fun.

 

[Pedroia's Itchy Nose]

Every single K was swinging.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

I’m gonna rewatch this one because I was doing other stuff through most of it, except the top of the ninth. I figure why not? It won’t take too long

Good point. Where are they going to find the extra 11 minutes for Sox in 2?

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

So...Connor Wong may be good...

 

[trekfan55]

Got an alert of a final score and did a double take when I saw the time.

Incredible

 

[brandonchristensen]

Mookie who?

[Al Zarilla]

Pedro pitching a perfect game for Montreal in 1995, being shown on Roku. 0-0 after 9, in San Diego. Pedro @ 96 pitches, I think.

edit, 92 pitches. Pedro lifted.

edit, bip roberts, of all people, got a double to lead off the tenth.

Expos win it 1-0. Pedro gets the win.
