Chutes and Ladders

My grandson is two months shy of his second birthday, and already he exudes more energy than Luis either Robert Jr. or Yoan Moncada, both of whom went 0-for-4 yesterday against the Tigers. It’s reaching the point where Leo can hit a ball further than either of those two. Lucky for the White Sox that the adult Dylan Cease decided to show up for his start. Cease gave up one run in 5.1 innings and could’ve had a shutout going but for 1) Robert not catching a triple (Jason Benetti thought it was a great try, so who am I to think otherwise?); and 2) a wild pitch with Yasmani Grandal catching (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). That was the only run the Tigers scored on the day. And because Detroit manager A.J. Hinch decided to start Eric Haase behind the plate, the Sox won in ten, 2-1, all runs scoring on wild pitches, the first time in over a hundred years that three runs in a game have scored that way. How nice to be a part of history.
