4/2 - Baltimore @ Boston - APRIL FOOLS PART DEUX
- Thread starter brandonchristensen
- Start date
Not sure why they lined up Houck here instead of Pivetta. Though both have a tendency to give up hard contact, and did so at an alarming rate in ST, so I’m not sure it will matter. Limit the walks, try not to put so much pressure on the offense, and win a game in convincing fashion. Never to early in the year to go streaking.
The Red Sox are currently on pace to shatter the MLB record for most runs scored in a season, 1,220 in 1894 by the Boston Beaneaters.
They are also on pace to shatter the MLB record for most runs allowed in a season, so there's that.

Yes,plus Orioles have 10 stolen bases in 2 games which has them off to a great stolen base trajectory.
I fear Ricky’s record is going to get beat - not by the best and fastest, but by exploiting the rule.
No, because with the new schedule, they won't get as many times to face Sale and the Red Sox as in years past.

O’s had the game but dropped the ball
and had to face Adam Duvall
who, with our offense piping hot,
walked it off with a monster shot.
A miracle for April Fool’s!
This team certainly has the tools
to make the season super fun -
to go on a post season run –
to be among the all-time greats
If pitching just cooperates.
Let’s hope that Houck gets us on track
and watch the Sox win back-to-back.

He did us a solid.
Yoshida and Duvall are already my two binkies on this team.
Yoshida is going to be a huge fan favorite if he isn't already.
I truly feel badly for Sale, a real stand up guy who's had horrible injury luck, hoping he can figure it out.
Looking at Duvall in Baseball Reference. He's got lots of black this year.

They still don't trust Casas against a lhp, I guess. I'm not saying "they" are wrong.
I like it. I think it’s important in terms of luck for pitchers and hitters, both good and bad. It give you an idea if a player is going to regress or not. I’m kind of a stats nerd so I should fit in well here it seems.
Very well, I expect.
(Somebody needs to photoshop an appropriate "B"ABIP on that cap.)
Houck has great stuff but he cannot go multiple times through a line up. Hopefully, I reverse jinxed him and he is brilliant for 6 innings.
