Oh…where to begin?
Carlos “Cookie” Carrasco, at times, harkened back memories of some of the game’s best pitchers. And at other times? Well, the not so great.
The good – heck, the dominant: the flame-throwing right-hander, who, for those that don’t remember, was acquired for as part of the Cliff Lee swap several years ago, fanned a whopping 11 White Sox hitters without allowing a walk over the course of 6.2 innings. The not-so-good: he departed the game with the Tribe winning 7-to-5. And four of those runs were of the earned variety.
The night started out with the promise of one of those special games.
