    5/26 @ Brewers

    Tanner Houck vs Tobias Meyers

    Houck is somehow only 4-5 despite a 1.94 ERA.

    Red Sox are 7-0 on Sundays this year, let’s make it 8-0.

    Very favorable pitching matchup today. Houck, at least at this point, is the Sox best starter. We don't hear any more complaining that he can't go three times through the batting order. Should be able to put this one in the win column.
    Old school is good school.

    O'Neill finally owns up to a sore knee as affecting his hitting. Should have said so before the last 10 K's

    Looking for Tanner Houck to come in and be the STOPPER . The one who puts an end to losing streaks, even if only 2 games long. Get today's game and goon to Baltimore to pound those rag arms.

    O'Neill should decide whether he wants to be a body builder or a baseball player.

    Bulky players always seem more prone to injury- like hammy pulls, knee and back issues.

    It does seem like easing off the body-building would improve on his chances at staying healthy.

    He might lose some power, but the trade-off seems worthwhile.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    His father was also a body builder, so I'm guessing his father preached muscle building into his head since he was old enough to walk.
    Fathers have been known to pass their fanaticism onto their kids.

    Body builders apparently believe that baseball is not actually a game of skills. Nor, I hasten to add, a game of endurance.

    Sox defense looking ok to good, but then there is the small matter of hitting and pitching--in which the Brewers have dominated the Sox more than any other team this season. Crawford and Pivetta were both clobbered while the Sox lineup remained supine.

    Notable--to me, anyway--that Houck today is faring better with McGuire behind the plate than Crawford and Pivetta did with Wong.

    Grissom, Hamilton and Rafaela due up. That is some murderers row. LOL!

    That's two SB attempts in 3 innings. Cora needs to gamble some because the hitting is moribund.

    Ahem. Hamilton's OPS is .750. Rafaela still leads the Sox in rbi's.

    OK, Tanner, there's your one run, now run with it.

    It would be great if the Red Sox could get Houck some run support for once
