I'm troubled that the Sox are having competitive games with the Tigers. 

Why wouldn’t they, it’s not like Sox are good. They’re missing far and away their best player.

They are sitting on the fastball, not even thinking of anything else.

I'm not sure the Tigers would win a division in AAA. Days like this make me wonder that the people who say that they're still 2-3 years away actually have a point.

Great finish by Cease

THAT was a curve ball. Not a work of art, but he battled through 5 innings, kid is learning. 

5 Innings 

2 earned runs behind some shotty defense

6 k's

1 Walk

 

I would call it progress................

That was a dirty hook. Send the kid to the showers, he did a credible job all things considered. 

OMFG Castillo did something. 

Yesterday the Ray's got shutout by the Blue Jay's and the Yankees won a competitive game against Baltimore in which the score was tied going into the 8th inning.

I know, baseball can be goofy sometimes.

I'm just glad the local media has finally dropped the "McCann > Moncada" agenda

No matter who they put at DH, it ends up being a bad hitting game for that player.

Bummer has been so good this year.

Ricky has been riding him really hard though. It wouldn't shock me if he gets injured next year.

Castillo giving a half ass effort

Yep, unless he gets through an inning or two quick, he's probably due for 5. I'd like to see the Sox NOT push his counts over 100 today. We have 2020 to think about. 

He is on an innings limit so Sept may be light work for him.

Timmy looks like he's beginning to heat it up.

He was riding him to the ground in the first half, but he's definitely pulled Bummer back in the second half. It's a welcomed sight.

That‘s a bad way to look at things. The Tigers don‘t get blown out every day that‘s just not how baseball works.

Major league teams sometimes lose against college teams in spring training.
