I came in late on this game............what happened? And yes, his stat line looked excellent.I hope Cease will be okay. he was pitching one of his best games.
got hit with a batted ball. i think he's probably fine. extra precaution.I came in late on this game............what happened? And yes, his stat line looked excellent.
Our BP has been inconsistent at best all year, but tonite they shined!!That's how its supposed to work. Good job White Sox!
Yes - good news. Cease has pitched 161 innings this year - which gives him the iron man award for this pitching staff - also the number 3 guy in the league for swing and miss pitches. He is also very good news for the future.Extremely early update from ESPN on Cease:
The White Sox said Cease has a right triceps contusion and that X-rays were negative.
Cease breezed into the sixth but was hit on his pitching arm by a one-hopper from Bradley Zimmer that rolled behind the mound with one out. Cease grabbed his arm and knelt behind the mound.
Chicago manager Tony La Russa, pitching coach Ethan Katz, a team trainer and the White Sox infielders surrounded Cease, who got to his feet and walked on the infield grass.
Cease threw a couple of pitches from the mound to catcher Zack Collins but walked to the dugout after a discussion with La Russa.
So the initial take on this is it's nothing to fret over, but I'm guessing Cease is gonna have a sore arm for a few days. It may be enough to hold him back one start. Then again, he probably only has one start remaining in the regular season, so a more likely scenario is having him rest until last couple of games, then send him out for a 5 inning max appearance.
