Come on Houck.
Come on Houck.
Houck going with just 2 pitches, slider and fastball, and the slider especially is working. 3 K's in the first two innings, 1 hit, 0 runs.
Let’s get a lead!!!!
I'm guessing Houck may have a pitch limit around 60.
Houck lucky in the first with two hard hit balls caught--he was basically throwing to the middle of the strike zone.
Not so in the 2d inning.
Montgomery look to me as much the better pitcher than Houck--better repertoire, better location, better results.
But Houck's slider looks every bit as good as Ray Milland's "enhanced" pitch in It Happens Every Spring.
Offense looks like shit through 2 innings.
Houck throwing over 70% strikes. Splitter for a strike!
Come on houck.
OK. Ray Milland is now envious of that slider.
