iirc Cora says he's not drinking these days, or at least not as much.
I'm stoked for the 2004 doc as well but i hope there's a cache of HD/film footage out there that hasn't been seen Ć la Last Dance, rather than, i dunno, AI-upscaled broadcast footage. i mean of course i will watch the hell out of it regardless.

The pitchersā lockers are next to one another.āIām saying how Iām Tigger and youāre Eeyore,ā Houck told Whitlock. āEspecially at 7 oāclock in the morning, Iām definitely Tigger and heās definitely Eeyore. Until you get coffee in him, heās definitely Eeyore.āāEeyore?ā Whitlock exclaimed, equal parts outrage and amusement.āUntil you get coffee in you, yes!ā Houck responded.āI mean, yes, Tigger is right for you,ā Whitlock said.Then, Martin walked over and told them he was a giraffe.āGiraffes makes sense,ā Whitlock said. āIām a bird of prey.āBecause heās going to be feasting on batters this season? āOh jeez,ā Whitlock said.āI mean, thatās what you said you were,ā Houck said with a grin.āBirds of prey, theyāre sometimes solitary, but huge family values and they always mate for life,ā Whitlock said. āIāll go red-tailed hawk, because thatās what we have in Georgia.āāWow, you really went deep on that,ā Houck said.Then, another pivot. āNow that I think about it, honestly I might be more of a koala,ā Whitlock said. āI love these questions.āāIām a bear, because a bear always wants honey,ā Houck said, pivoting as well. āI like sweets, I like Sour Patch Kids, Mike ān Ikes āāāI think heās a good black bear, because theyāre not scary,ā Whitlock said of Houck. āGrizzlies, you run away.āOr perhaps Houck is Yogi Bear.āHey there, Boo Boo! I think I found a pic-a-nic basket!ā Whitlock said, mimicking the cartoon characterās voice perfectly.āI donāt know what I am,ā Houck said.āYou said I was Eeyore,ā an affronted Whitlock replied. āWhat the heck? Iām a depressed donkey?āāHeās just low-energy sometimes,ā Houck said. āLike you, before you have your coffee.āāI mean, thatās true,ā Whitlock agreed.Postscript: The following morning, Whitlock told the Herald that after much discussion between the pitchers, Houck was the golden retriever Dug, from the movie āUp.ā

Doesnāt look like Bello had his best stuff last night but he still pitched five innings and gave up 2 earned runs (off a Haniger home run). No walks.Stats was talking last year that Belloās fastball was unusually hittable:
Last season, Bello threw 362 four seam fastballs to left-handed batters. They batted .333 with 8 2B, 2 3B, 6 HR, and a .704 SLG against that pitch.In his final spring training start, 1 of his 91 pitches was a four seamer.— Red Sox Stats (@redsoxstats) March 29, 2024

yeah i do not understand that eitheri was reading that about belloās fastball a couple of days ago. on the one, great that heās adjusting, on the other hand, major league pitchers without a fastball are kind of a rare bird these days. the 0 walks is probably my favourite stat of the night

Kenley is playing through a back strain atm iirc and also closed out the first game last night which was like 16 hours between outings for him. It was ugly but the man got it done. I donāt think they put him in there if they didnāt use most of the pen yesterday. I have no idea how people suffer a full season of baseball. I couldnāt even look at gameday during the bottom of the ninth; I was sitting on the bed checking my phoneās lockscreen for a message from my friend telling me the game was over, while my husband* was following on his iPad and gleefully going āoh no heās walked someone, double play? Oh no force outā¦ā Itās rough, man, but an ugly scraped out win still counts just the same.* he also watched my Spanish flu era king George Kirby get knocked around by the Guardians before turning to me and going āWhat is this, an all-hitter?ā Whoād follow this fucking game?!

Cotillo prediction from January looking very good rn
15. Wilyer Abreu exceeds Alex Verdugoās production in right field. As difficult as Verdugo was at times, the Red Sox wouldnāt have traded him if they werenāt supremely confident in Abreuās ability to step into the right field position. As of now, thatās the plan. Abreu will have a better offensive season than Verdugo did a year ago.
