It isn’t until you finally relax that you realize just how much tension you were holding. It’s when you realize just how many parts of the human body are capable of being clenched. Sometimes, when you finally reach that point of relaxation, you find yourself feeling better than before. It’s as if you’ve wrung yourself out like a dirty dish towel, and you’ve been somehow cleansed.
In that sense, maybe Zac Rosscup and Dylan Moore did the Pacific Northwest a favor when they combined to double-handedly almost gift the Red Sox their second straight ninth inning comeback.
