Saw his last game in Bowie. They got no hit and should’ve had a perfect game thrown against them. 

What more appropriate time is there to promote a player?

Hey, I'm glad they finally did it, and hopefully they will do the same with GrayRod asap.

RBI single for Rutschman off Matthew Liberatore, 1 for 3 so far.

Now a double, so 2-4.  Also catching a 1-hit shutout through 8 innings.

He's clearly too advanced for AAA.

It took him a while to adjust.

Apparently his 2 outs were hard hit balls too.

Curious to see if he helps the pitching staff at that level. He's off to a great start.

I'd say catching a 1 hit shutout is pretty...........ok.

Some sunshine from a BP fantasy guy who saw him vs. Severino last week:

An overwhelming sense of calm permeated Rutschman’s body language as he strode to the plate last Tuesday night against Luis Severino, who was making a rehab start for the Patriots. This gave me a chance to press fast-forward on Rutschman a bit, to see his current self against big-league pitching. To be clear, Severino had his best stuff. It took real discipline, for example, for Rutschman to get ahead in the at-bat by laying off a 100-mph fastball that was just off the plate.

But he did lay off the pitch. He then took a strike at 3-1, and subsequently launched a home run over the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital sign in right field. At no point did it feel like Severino was the major leaguer on rehab. Rutschman was the one who was too good for the league.

A good start....I hope it continues. Our pitching at the AAA level hasn't been good in a while.

Quote

Rutschman arrived in Norfolk as a result of the second in-season promotion of his career and the first since he went from then-Short Season Aberdeen to Low-A Delmarva during his Draft year.

How hard is it to get stuff like this right?

Maybe they didn’t see his 5-game stint in the GCL as “real,” but more like a few rehab outings.

Catching for the second night in a row, feel like that didn't happen to often at Bowie

Rutschman knocked in the tying and go-ahead runs on a 2-run single in the 7th, as Norfolk erased a 5-2 deficit and eventually won 7-5.
