Guard against those homers
Happy Wednesday.
Last night was another mostly stellar outing from Tanner Houck but a hit here and there turned the game over to the Cleveland Guardians. The Red Sox sit at 13-11 as they send Cooper Criswell against Carlos Carrasco tonight at 6:10 PM ET once more.
Vaughn Grissom, rehabbing with the WooSox, has four. hits in 18 plate appearances. Not lighting the world on fire but, if he’s healthy, he can probably get up to speed at the plate in Boston, right? Since his career .287/.339/.407 would look pretty nice about now.
Remembering 2004
Like our 2024 squad, even the World Series champs lost game 24. A rare matchup between knuckleballers (depending on if R.A. Dickey really counts) the Rangers topped the Sox and Tim Wakefield 4-1. Dickey went 8.2 innings with Francisco Cordero coming in for the one out save. Brian Daubach got the start at first base with Kevin Millar in right field. What an adventure those games were. Michael Young, Hank Blalock and Alfonso Soriano all got hits on the day for Texas.
Talk about what you want and be good to one another.
