What’s missing here is the gametime temperature. April is not springtime in that part of the country. I grew up that way.
Keep hitting like this, Stone, and you’ll be back in DC in no time flat!
41 at first pitch
Hooray for Luke for the Opening Day for coverage for yet another season. It should be a much more interesting season here with the infusion of talent.
Also thanks to James for the photos.
Here’s hoping that Adon can overcome the damage they did to him last season and recover to live up to the promise that they rushed him to fulfill. He’s still just in his age-24 season.
Jake Irvin (pitching today) is 26 and entering now-or-never territory. This will be his second year back from TJ, so hope for a little boost after a winter to get stronger.
Action News weatherman Stone Garrett certainly will be interesting to watch. He’s a late bloomer who seems to have bulked up during COVID, with not much HR power before but 25 and 28 after (last season at altitude).
How ironic
I used to live in Lafayette In and used to freeze like in Rochester NY in spring watching Plawecki be second team All Big Ten .
KW now you can rest about Vega
Another attempt to bypass being non human with the website verifier
Let’s see if Peña Sanchez and or Witt join DeShields OD roster with the MASH unit in Rochester
KP are you with me
Oh the rap song went JP?
Let’s see how good of a start Herrera and Reyes get off to for DD. Number 4 .
Wilmington Wood Young White
Mackenzie , Frizzell
BB probably doesn’t reach Will yet
How will Emiliani be used with Wood and White around ?
There should be a few more cuts with guys who have hit ceilings below AA .
Hmmm Valera and Rutherford just couldn’t cut the mustard ?
