Alexander has to get the lefties out. He got Tucker at least.

Good call .

Horton is pitching pretty good , in out up down changing speeds somewhat like Civale and similar results.

Meidroth should have had that soft line drive might've fooled him a little.

That was too quick. Teel's out came on a pitch I think he thought he could drive . After going away away away Horton went in on him.

Time for a Sox HR this inning.

Missed location against Suzuki ends up the 1st hit.

Civale's really got the spinners working.

Grant Taylor would be the headliner and the Sox need every good prospect. You don't trade them away just to get rid of Robert when they have 4 other relievers to trade away.

Him being 22 and already up doing pretty well tells you he's better than the other guys were at his age. Now it's just a matter off how much better he can get against RHP. Being good just against LHP doesn't get you a great career, it gets you niche employment like Slater. He had a hit LH yesterday and a SacFly RBI, so those were 2 productive ABs. I'm going to trust most of the young guys have not reached their peak yet. Colson Montgomery I'd be thrilled if he was what he looks like now getting .7 fWAR every 17 games.

Funny how people who were wrong try to cover their assses. He had his first bad game not bad really just not up to the under 2 ERA standards and all of a sudden you have people talking s%*# about his value quoting articles saying he's worthless. And that all happened after 4 mediocre innings. There wasn't a whole out there saying bad things about him before that. So I feel I'm justified to want him to be valuable in a trade, as all Sox fans should, just as others felt they were justified in devaluing him . There's a lot of quickness to devour our young here or minimize the good things happening . I was the bad guy for sticking up for Montgomery too when idiots here were taking shots at him. Just being a positive voice doesn't mean I should be a target especially when I'm not jumping on the bandwagon of hate for the organization or our prospects. Excuse me for wanting what's best for the Sox.

Better the less arms give up runs than your top or 2nd best trade piece when it's 11-0 Maybe they asked him if he wanted to stay in and Houser said yes any any good soldier does. But an on the ball manager says great job and says take a seat after 6. No runs given up, fluky type injury on the field avoided and great for the trade value after the slight hiccup his last outing had a lot people saying he's not getting the Sox anything of value back. And people listing valuable trade pieces and putting him way down the list or not even on it . So yes finishing on a very high note was important and Venable should know better.

Damn good win 😃

I even thought I might be over reacting. I was in the middle of typing maybe he gets out of it when McGuire hit the HR. 6 Shut out innings meant more to his trade value then 6.2 of 3 run ball, that's for sure. There was 0 reason to keep him in. Personally I think Houser mentally checked out of the game thinking he would be removed after 6. All of a sudden he lost his command despite the pitch count.

You know I called it before it happened and gave you sound reasons why while the rest of you were saying it's only 60 pitches. And you think I'm the bad guy. Sheesh .

Ahem . Stupid to leave him in. It's almost like they decided not to trade him .I hate being right when it means Hauser got touched up to spoil a great outing .

Not even the point. But maybe he'll get out of it .

6 inning of shut out ball in an 11 run rout when you're on the trade block is more than enough.

Damn it he is. Hopefully I'm over reacting.

He better not be in there for the 7th.

I tried to tell you it was fine 😃

Nice game Houser hit the shower !

Him and Vargas hand in hand on slumps and hot streaks.

Just another ho hum 11 run game .

Houser doing what he does ,putting up zeros.
