The Rockies pitching has shocked me. I'm no baseball expert, but it seems like you can mask mediocre hitting (which the Rockies don't have) with hot streaks and "small ball". However, you can't really disguise average pitching, especially down the stretch during playoff games and games with playoff implications.
The Sox-Indians series has been enjoyable to watch. Despite the Indians showing composure during tough situations during the Yankees series, I felt that the game was over after Ramirez and Lowell went back to back in game 2. Not having a personal interest in either team, it is refreshing to watch two top teams play quality baseball. Unfortunately, quality baseball includes quality at bats, resulting in some long games.
