Fish Stripes @fishstripes 34m Marlins begin a series against the Red Sox tonight. More than a few people on here made creative proposals to acquire J.D. Martinez at the trade deadline. Thankfully that didn't pan out: he's slashing .195/.250/.317 with 1 HR since then.

Jon Heyman @jonheyman · 22m Scout: “Nobody should want to play the Marlins in the first round. With Sixto, who may be the best pitcher in the game right now, and Alcantara, they could beat anybody.”

Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo · 5m Christian Vazquez’s advice to a guy making his ML debut like Houck: “To enjoy it. It’s the only time it’ll be your first time in the big leagues. Be calm. You need to breathe because there will be a lot of emotions.”
Vazquez was asked about who has stood out to him on this year’s pitching staff. Answer: Phillips Valdez.

Chris Cotillo @chriscotillo · 2m Red Sox have a plan in place for Nick Pivetta, so we could still see him in the majors this year. Said "it could change" but club is working through some things on that end.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 7m Reminder the #RedSox need two moves for Houck -- a 40-man and a 28-man. Could use a 45-day IL transfer or a DFA.

Bill Koch @billkoch25 · 5m Roenicke said Kickham will start Wednesday. #RedSox
Roenicke said some of the IL pitchers would still be active if the #RedSox were in a playoff race. Minor injuries.
Roenicke said Houck will be treated like a starter in his debut and should be in the rotation going forward. #RedSox
Roenicke said Hernandez threw a bullpen today and it 'went really well.' Could come off the IL soon.
Triggs is playing catch today, could be on the mound soon.
No progress otherwise among IL pitchers. #RedSox
Roenicke said Taylor is playing catch today but isn't guaranteed to pitch again this season. #RedSox
Roenicke said no move yet for Houck. Sounds like there could be an IL instead of an option. #RedSox
Roenicke said no timetable for Pivetta to make a start. He is stretched out.
(Service time is in play here.) #RedSox

Alex Speier @alexspeier · 11m Red Sox have discussed possibility of calling up Nick Pivetta. He’s stretched out again to the point where they’d be comfortable having him start.

Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Tanner Houck building legacy in hometown with adoption charity: ‘I wanted to give back to something bigger than myself’ By Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com I couldn't finish the article. It was too good. I have to circle back ,and maybe more than once. Kudos to Mr. Cotillo on this one. Great story. Kudos to Cotillo, and kudos to Houck for being a fine young man who calls his mother first.

This is something that is just so glaring during the games.

Red Sox Stats @redsoxstats · 1h Excited to see Houck tonight. He should look the part and feature mid 90s tailing heat and a big sweeping slider. Dumped his changeup for a splitter to try and combat trouble with lefties that can pick him up well. Seemed like a lot of walks at McCoy, so curious to see command.
