Bartolo Colon stole the show by tossing a brilliant one-hitter in the first game of the doubleheader. Working quick with excellent command to both sides of the plate, Colon pitched six strong innings, throwing 64 pitches, 45 for strikes, as he fanned four batters, issued no walks and topped out at 95 mph. “We were all real pleased, as I’m sure everybody upstairs will be when we get these reports in,” PawSox manager Ron Johnson said of Colon’s outing.

What a bedside / friendly manner/ attitude that Cater has. Starts ouy disagreeing with someone over a minor difference in opinion over an unimportant issue, by calling PSF a moron.

I also believe the pitching coach has had a drastic effect on Beckett and Wakefield if you look at his arrival in Boston and those 2 becoming much more consistent. He seems to know what to say to Wakes, which no one ever has been able to do. Lastly, how bout the way Kevin Cash has stepped up and become a better hitting Belli. Great move to release Doug for the better hitter, without losing the defense/catching.

If it’s possible, I think Wakefield has morphed into a better version of Phil Niekro. It’s up to him if he wants to pitch to 50. In terms of consistency, I think he’s as good as he’s ever been. And yes, he will have a tough stretch, one he always encounters. But the last 2 seasons, he’s been pretty damn effective in 80 percent of his starts. His confidence level is beyond high. I think when he was yo-yoed as a reliever-starter-closer, it affected him during those seasons. Jimy killed him, and Tito/Theo resurrected him.
