The Rich Hill Era is upon us, folks. Again. Hill will pitch for the WooSox tonight, a few days after throwing a bullpen to Kyle Teel, who is literally half of Hill’s age. (Tara Sullivan, Boston Globe)
Would it be too much to ask for Hill to regain his form as quickly as Triston Casas has? Yeah! It probably would! Given the ease with which Casas has stepped back into a big league lineup after missing months with a rib injury, it’s worth wondering whether there really was something to those mental swings.

Hopefully Trevor Story also spent time taking swings in his head — along with fielding grounders in his head, tracking pop-ups in his head, and, uh, not tearing every ligament in his body in his head.
