Yes,Yes, friends, I can hear that collective groan seeing my name writing the gamethread. If it’s Brett, there’s no meaty, beaty, big and bouncy analyses, just snark. Oh well, I did not ask for this gig, anyway.
But in lieu of telling you how often tonight’s Sox starter Dylan Cease throws his slider (a lot? yes, a lot), I can point you to our terrific series-opening feature, Know Your Enemy, from Brian O’Neill. If you haven’t read it, you oughta.
There, you will learn that this weekend, the White Sox will run one actual starting pitcher in the series, and that is tonight, with Cease.
