Let’s end this road trip with a win and start the games at a normal time with a high note.

Houck was amazing in his last start, let’s keep that going.

Win.

And, a day game, 1:07 PM Anaheim time. No funky getaway lineups, Alex. Actually, this is not possible with the players he has available, now, is it. And yeah, if Houck can strike out about half the guys he faces (I know this isn’t the A’s) could even largely take the defense out of the equation too.

First game I will actually see live this season. I had an opportunity to go to a Red Sox game in Anaheim with other coaches from Special Olympics USA as the world games were in LA that year (2015) As luck would have it it rained out that day, first time in 20 years. A few of us got to go on the field pregame to meet with Pedroia and get him to give Team USA a "good luck" quick video.

For some reason, I hate the angels and have ever since Fred Lynn went there and wore Yaz's number 8. I am sure it was a hat tip to Yaz, but I took it personal for some reason only a 17 year old would understand.

Houck gets 8 ks today, Red Sox win 5-1

Chase Silseth is a fungible righty. They *should* tee off on this guy and probably need to to win this one, because Chase Anderson might be forced into the game regardless of score if Houck can't get through 5.

This isn't about today's game, but does anyone know if the Wake patch is available to purchase. The one they will have on home jerseys this year. I want a couple

Wow -- that's a lot of LHBs... Little League pitcher me would have been very uncomfortable.

Miami (oh, Miami!)
Angel's going with a guy named Chase Sislith on the mound. A guy named Chase sounds like he should be out of the game with 5-6 earned runs after 3 innings. MAKE IT HAPPEN BOYS!!!!
Silseth. Sislith sounds like a women's band festival or something.

Agreed on the "Chase" though. Only a clown-team would have a pitcher so named.

The heart's fine, but I'm surprised they didn't go with a knuckleball grip for the Wake patch background
