Finally, a year in the making, John Smoltz gets a chance to pitch in the Major Leagues again. This time it's for the Boston Red Sox.
The Sox beat the Nationals again last night with long balls from Big Papi & Jason Varitek. Having won the 3-game series already, Smoltz comes into a very relaxed situation against the Nationals tonight.
Smoltz himself has tampered down expectations about his first start. He just wants to compete once again & improve with each start so that he can win critical games for the Sox in September & October. Sounds good to me.
It was a great move by the Sox to take a chance on Smoltz. We'll see if it pays off now.
