He GONE!  that Change piece!

K'd his arch nemesis to end his day. Nice

Alright not a bad debut.  Certainly can see why he was having problems in AAA no fastball command is not easy to pitch off as a starter.

Go enjoy a beer, Dylan.

well boys...remember this game. THIS is the turning point of the rebuild. 

6 K's in 5 IP will do just fine Dylan. ?

12 changeups by my count

Have him go up to 130 pitches

 

Alright. let's get this young man his first (of many) MLB win.  Hold this lead Palehose!!

Good start for Cease. A better team  may have put him away in the 1st, but that’s why he’s facing the Tigers first.

More or less what I expected on the whole, however, I did not see that change up coming. Heavens to betsy.

Excellent start for Cease outside of the first.  Plenty of reasons to be exited.

Good effort considering he had no fastball

We've seen all 3 of Kopech, Cease and Giolito at the MLB level now. How would you line 'em up?

Don't give Ricky any ideas.

Cease in line for the W.  I know some of you don't care about wins & losses but they work for me.

Giolito, Cole, Kopech, Cease. 

 

Cease easily becomes best #4 in baseball by 2021...?

Cease is lucky, he's gonna miss Bacon this time around...

This is a nightmare.

That first inning was.  He settled down nicely.  Still crazy that he has more control of his curve than his fastball.  Usually it’s the opposite.

They could have got Chapman for Schwarber and Verlander wanted to go there. They didn't have to trade Jimenez, Torres and Cease and they did anyway. 

Wasn't that always Theo's weakness in Boston as well?

The first, you mean? Christ man, how many drinks have you had?

Joking right? I wouldn't have Lopez anywhere close.
