Cora is back to his old habit of waiting until the last minute to post a lineup.

I doubt they play either Devers or O'Neill today.  Cora is probably pulling his hair out for a lineup.

Houck is pitching a gem.  Shutout through six.  And we gave him a couple runs to work with.  Thank you Wong.

Best pitching effort by Sox pitcher in 2 years.  Complete game shutout Wow!!!!

[Schloicka]

Can't do much better than that. A 2-0 win in 1 hour and 49 minutes. In control all the way.

I saw a stat about it being the shortest game since 2002 or something crazy like that.  It's amazing what you can do when you throw strikes.

The rest of the pitchers should take notice and also maybe keep the ball up so opponents don't hit it to the infielders. 😂😂

At least we were happy Wednesday evening after a great performance by Tanner Houck and the defense didn't crash and burn as before.  They waited until today (Thursday) to return to their usual sloppy ways.
