Don't look now, but Cecil has 13 straight appearances without allowing a run, and 18/19.

even more encouraging is that he's starting to do it over full innings now instead of just vs lefties.

This might be needlessly optimistic, but I actually feel better about our roster in some ways than last year going into the playoffs. With a resurgent, healthy Cecil the BP looks better. Martin and Tulo are healthy and hitting. Stroman is our 3/4 instead of #2. We don't need to roster Dickey and Thole. If we manage to get to the ALCS, I think we're very scary.

I loathe BJ Upton.
