Kinda. Don't really know why some people were running with the idea that it was about effort or something.

Fun Brooks Baldwin fact: he has homers in both of the MiLB ballparks in rotation this season (Steinbrenner and SAC) and in both cases was the first Sox to hit one.
The 35 pitches seen by the Sox in the first last night are the most Pirates have had to throw to start a game all season. Would like to see them keep making pitchers work.
Would also like to see Sosa in the IF and Quero at DH, but alas.
