It's all about pitching

Yes, pitching is the big key to our current run. Great article in today's Globe - featuring an interview with pitching coach John Farrell (who is doing an incredible job - obviously!) - pictured above. I think this is the coolest part - something I've been sensing and fun to see confirmed:

"There's an inner competition that has developed among the starters here that's been fun to witness," Farrell said. "It's nothing that is spoken or that's even said in jest. It's just this feeling that the starter who's pitching the next game wants to be as good as the starter who pitched the last game. There's a responsibility each guy has every time he goes out there, that he wants to perform at a high level, do his part. It's very healthy."

Baltimore comes to town tonight for three games. Many seem to think this should be an easy series - but those O's are pretty pesky!
