It is. It's also a huge relief. You can feel the guys relaxing a bit.

I know Houston is coming to town, but I really hope this is the start of at least a 3 game win streak. They need to win a bit right now and remember what it feels like. Especially at home.

houston has been scuffling a little, might not be a bad time to play them.

The team did win both series last year against Houston. I think they even swept them once.

 

On the other hand, that was the first strikeout of the game? Wow, maybe the weather does play a part in the Sox offense...

There's been a lot of attention paid to the funky motion with Fulmer's arms but to me it's his lower half that's costing him. When his left foot lands, his leg is completely stiff and you can see how it totally redirects his forward momentum. Instead of a smooth trajectory towards home it kind of swings his weight over the front leg. It gives him basically no margin for error with his release point because if his timing is slightly off he'll either release it much too high or much too low.

 

When he lands it's not completely stiff. His leg stiffens up as he stops forward momentum. Lots of pitchers do this. It's part of the disconnect between the lower and upper half.

CBS lead fantasy baseball guy with some nice thoughts on Yoan today:

nothing we haven't covered, but the dude is a solid regular sporting a 35% K rate. The sky is the limit for him.

It’s a spot on analysis. The only question with Yoan is not if he’ll be good but how good he’ll be. The floor is crazy high and there are only a handful of players with bigger ceilings than him.
