Blue Jays RHP Dylan Cease threw a scoreless inning for the American League while mic'd up in the MLB All-Star Game.
Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease threw a scoreless first inning for the American League while mic'd up in the MLB All-Star Game. While on the mound, Cease wore a microphone and communicated directly with Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers and Joe Davis and John Smoltz in the FOX broadcast booth.
This allowed viewers to hear his thoughts and game strategy in real time as he faced batters. Cease began the inning by facing Kyle Schwarber, whom he struck out swinging for the first out. He then faced Juan Soto and secured a second consecutive strikeout, also swinging, to quickly put two outs on the board. After tossing a pair of strikes to Soto, Cease could be heard asking,"Front door sinker is probably a bad idea, huh?
" before responding to himself,"Let's do it. "The next batter, Freddie Freeman, drew a walk to temporarily extend the inning and put a runner on first base. Cease recovered by facing CJ Abrams, getting him to strike out swinging to end the inning and secure the final out. Dylan Cease talks to starting catcher Shea Langeliers after a scoreless frame in the Midsummer Classic.
