It's not just the numbers...it has, for a long time now,been the default answer by the SP brass on why they don't rank Houck higher. When a guy is pitching well and is not tired, you let him start the next inning. Statistics are not anything more than hints. In this case, the stats that should have counted for more was the Houck performance today. Otherwise, the guy does not belong in the rotation. It was a 7 inning game. If Whitlock does what he does all year, this is a non-conversation. I don’t mind pulling Houck in a shortened game because you trust Whitlock to get the job done and Houck has yet to prove he can be effective the 3rd time through. What I personally don’t like is going to a guy who literally just found out he was eligible right before the game. I don’t think he was ready for the moment.

So, by that token Cora should never get credited either. I give him credit for making the right decisions when they do not work out and criticism for making the wrong decisions that do work out. Do you? I still rip Farrell for letting Gomes hit in place of Nava in the playoffs despite the splits and it working out. I don’t think Cora made a wrong call other than Taylor.

On a positive note, Houck had a good changeup/splitter today, probably the best it's been all year. He threw it twice as often (12% vs 6%), and more for strikes (71% vs 35%).
