- Even after just 2 games, Robinson Cano looks better at the plate than he ever has to start a season. He has perfect balance to his swing and is seeing the ball well, both good signs that point to him having a productive year from the 5-spot since it usually takes a month or two for him to hit this well.
- Not a bad start for A.J. He was in and out of trouble all night, but also didn't get any help from his defense with 3 errors. In the 4th and 5th innings especially he showed the ability to bear down and make pitches, something that is always difficult to predict with him. 94 pitches in 5 innings isn't exactly economical, but it was still a better start than CC had on Sunday. And he and Jorge got along; all together now; "Awwwwwwwwwwwww!"
- I complain about Marcus Thames being inserted into the lineup for Gardner in just the second game and he gets a walk and a strikeout, ho-hum. When you're right, you're right.
- Very solid 2 innings from Ace. Those innings were big considering Chan Ho Park was out with a severe case of "Joe probably didn't want to use him in a high-pressure situation again after he shit the bed on Sunday night" AKA "the flu" and it was good to see Ace work multiple innings and throw a decent number of pitches to test his back.
- Joba?! There you are!! Hadn't seen you in a while, buddy. How ya been? You gonna stick around for a while?
- I've said it before and I'll say it again, nobody in the Boston bullpen scares me. If you can get their starters out early, you can do damage against anybody in that 'pen
