I wish Eck were calling this game - his commentary for Robles the other night was priceless

Every single left handed reliever is good for a walk or two. seems that way - strange.

That split is for all Red Sox starters. Every time you leave in a starter for the third time through you're sacrificing short term wins. Sometimes the pen needs a breather and you're okay with the trade off. And sometimes the game is not close and you can spare some equity. Neither is the case today. I’d be curious to see pitch counts. Is it third look alone, or is fatigue a factor? Because, again, today Houck’s count is really, really low to come out. It's familiarity, not fatigue. I didn't buy it at first. Can't find supporting evidence right now, my kids are crawling over me.

JD really just looks like crap at the plate. No idea.

Toronto just opened it up on Oakland: 10-3 in the 8th.

I flat out disagree with pulling Houck. While there may be data to support it, there are likely contingencies which maybe don't support the generalization of the data to all cases.

I'd rather Houck third time than Davis or Robles ever.

JD really just looks like crap at the plate. No idea. He's okay but he's no longer a big deal. He's not worth 19 million.

It seems like the Red Sox are in close games every day. Even when they win big it seems close or ends close.

Is Sale more likely to have a bad 1st inning the third time he starts against the Yankees in a season?

That's why I hate player options...if they suck you are stuck with them, if they play well they leave...
