Stunning stuff and 10 runs with only one HR. And that the first run of the game. Just keep pounding it out. Nice to see our young relievers get prime time innings and succeed. Cease looked real good too.

Yes. It was actually about as controlled as I’ve ever seen him. He was working the entire zone well and never looked rattled. Honestly the biggest change was his composure.Riding Shotgun on the Sox Bandwagon since before there was an Internet...

No effort 98+ is nice to see. Burdi's 98+ is with effort and he's not ready for Prime Time, sez I. But he's getting there, not as fast as a #1 should have, but he's still in play. A 60 game season might be just what this this team needs. 2021 is my idea of a target. 2020 would be a surprise.Ah, you can't beat fun at the old ball park.Comment

I realize that relief pitchers are notoriously inconsistent, BUT I like what I am seeing from our young hurlers.Comment

Kudos to Tim -- and to Steve Stone -- for that AB in the 2nd inning, when he moved in and out, back and forth in the batter's box pitch by pitch, then moved up in anticipation of a slider and nailed it. Stone had talked before about the advantages of moving in the batters box and how few hitters take advantage of the flexibility. The camera work showed it beautifully. Great hitting and great TV.

I remember when Billy Pierce appeared on the Ed Sullivan show (I think it was) to debunk the theory that the curve ball didn't actually break, that it was just an optical illusion. Pierce threw a curve ball into the camera and it was totally inconclusive, of course. Thanks to this new superimposition technique it is now obvious why major league hitters swing at balls in the dirt two feet outside. I never would have believed what Cease does is possible if not for that visual. What kind of physics allows the two pitches to follow identical tracks halfway or more to the plate then so abruptly and dramatically diverge?

TA most definitely won't be this hot always, but there's no denying that he's going to be a high average, power-producing bat from here on out . he's become a seriously dangerous offensive threat, and i'm wondering if at some point they just start to pitch around him . also, Codi Heuer was most impressive.Comment

Fegan on Renteria on Moncada:
Renteria's statement is written entirely in non-medical jargon I can't understand but looks like Moncada is fine? He didn't look fine on the field."Hope...may be indulged in by those who have abundant resources...but those who stake their all upon the venture see it in its true colors only after they are ruined."
