Grayson has been ready all year.  But the service time rules are part of the game players and owners agreed to.  Neither side was on the side of more competition.

I’ll disagree with this. In the little we saw in spring training he struggled, and he struggled in a few of his triple-a starts as well. He’s been in a better groove lately

By the way, if I had to guess, I’d say Grayson probably will have missed the Super 2 cutoff by the time his next start rolls around.   We won’t know until after the end of the 2024 season, but if I had to bet, that’s how I’d bet.

Pretty much every pitcher in pretty much every year has patches when they struggle.  That doesn't mean they aren't ready.

Didn't he pitch all of two innings in spring training?  Are we really judging him based off of two spring training innings?

If I missed an appearance or two I apologize.

I think folks who judge folks who judge what right and wrong are just as bad. 

True, except I said "sound a little like" instead of hailing it as the gospel as provided by Can of corn

So "just as bad" as "sound a little like".  Exact same degree.

Whether you want to term it a bad patch or not ready, generally speaking that seems like a bad time to promote someone...and an especially bad time to promote someone to the major leagues

I don't think hot or cold streaks mean much unless there is an underlying reason for the behavior.

I certainly don't think Grayson giving up runs in one of the two innings he pitched in ML ST mean anything, anymore then if he had thrown two scoreless.

I hope he’s promoted during the next home stand.

I am of the belief that there is almost always an underlying reason for hot or cold streaks. With the one exception of literally everything you hit is smoked but right at somebody.

Is Grayson likely to start tomorrow?  Would like to see him pitch.  Maybe (hopefully, deservedly) his last start before Baltimore.

Grayson is listed as Norfolks starter tonight.  Looks like at least another week unless there is some Tom foolery going on.

Definitely bummed he’s not getting promoted. Seems like a waste of innings/his arm.

He could go tonight and then be brought up for the Jun 7 game, which gives him an extra day.

That would mean every starter left is on a weeks rest.
