Sometimes I Feel...

Dylan Cease, Cleveland, untapped potential—all these things were running through my mind last night as I watched Cease in one of his best outings of the season, 5.1 innings with no runs, three hits, no walks and nine strikeouts. The first name that popped into my mind was Barry Latman. If you’re not familiar, look him up. And then, boom, Bradly Zimmer hits a one-hop shot—clocked at 110.4 mph—that hit Cease in the vicinity of his (right) pitching elbow, so out he goes, and the White Sox hang on to a 1-0 win to move within four of the Astros for homefield advantage should they meet in the first round of the playoffs. Hope springs eternal. So, why do I keep thinking of Herb Score?
