Rutchsman watch: 4th at bat (left side still, runners on first and second)

Ball, low outside fastball

Strike (looking), fastball at knees, middle of plate

Strike (fouled up third base line), fastball in on hands

Ball, fastball extremely high

Foul (over concourse on 3rd base side), fastball on inner half of plate, slightly inside and up

Grounder behind second that shortstop took for a fielders choice.

Rutchsman is on first now.

You think it might just be nerves because he knows you're at the game?

Definitely. He knows he has to live up to the expectations of Wynns.

That's enough to break any man.

Rutchsman watch - 5th at bat (still as a lefty, runner on second)

Ground out to second on first pitch fastball

At least the rest of the offense seems to be having a good game.

You mean someone other than Rutschman is playing?

I’ll honestly check in on Adley in a year, I know more about him than any other of the draft picks by a large margin. I’m concerned with the players I don’t have info on or limited/dated info.

2-4 today and threw out 2 of 2 baserunners.

See @Can_of_corn, I wasn't at the game, so no pressure for him!

About time he started playing like the "best prospect since Bryce Harper".

Another hit. 2-4 with a walk tonite.  

AAAAAAAAAND he is catching a 3 hitter

He's above .300 now - when does he go to Delmarva to help the Shorebirds win a championship? If Watson and Rizer are there, it seems Rutschman should be at some point.

He'll be there for the playoffs at least as long as he's feeling good physically. It's kind of amazing he's playing right now after dealing with mono.

I hadn't even thought about that lately. I guess that explains why it took a few games to get going - expectations are unreasonably high it seems. I guess I'm guilty of that also.
