Yoshida just showed why I always hated the “strikeouts don’t matter” jive. Man on 3rd, under 2 outs, I’m literally not sure I want *anyone* in the AL more than Yoshida, cause he’s getting it in play. I also don't like the complete disregard for RBI as a metric. There has to be a certain metric that shows the value of bringing runners in... percent of runners on base driven in, or a weighted metric that puts more weight on runners on third than runners on first.

I’ve always been a Houck over Whitlock guy as a starter, but I think we’re going to get both. Really hope Mata, Walter, or Murphy can develop as a long man

Really interesting 4 seam usage against RHH

A full one third of Tampa’s games have come against the six weakest teams in the MLB. I would imagine they will be coming back to the pack in the ALE. I probably agree with this to some extent. But what's their record against us? The Sox aren't one of the 6 weakest teams in MLB. The Red Sox are 7-7 against the ALE so far.

I normally have pretty strong feelings about what to do re: pitching the 7th. Tonight? No idea. Houck looks good, but should Cora quit while he is ahead (tied)?
Super conflicted.

You guys remember ERod when he finally came up to the show. You can see he had it but was always stuck at 5 innings. Cora stayed on him. He figured it out or matured.
Houck is kinda like that he has to figure out that last piece. That’s why it’s so hard to be a starter. He gets hit by lefties and the 3rd time thru get hit hard. He is very talented.

It’s a good thing we have all those advanced metrics to tell us how hot Casas is! Otherwise I might think I was watching an overmatched kid that can’t get to .200.

Seabold for the 7th. Really promising start for Houck. Standing living room ovation.

It wasn’t even just the advanced metrics that were saying how hot he was, it was his triple slash. Very basic stats. He has had a bad night tonight. You are trying too hard.

Well it was a shaky start, but Tanner was great second and third times through the order.

Leadoff double against Crawford...I guess it's damned if you do damned if you don't, but Houck looked to be cruising and for the first time like going deeper wasn't affecting him.

I haven’t seen a 4 seamer as explosive as Crawford since Papelbon

Why on earth is anyone on the angels swinging. Crawford is so high in the zone - wants to walk everyone rn

You would think the offense can put together some runs.

This is incredible - a West Coast game and we are in the 8th inning - it isn't even 11:30 yet on the east coast!
