Appears Grayson pitched his way to AAA to start the year

I'm not anti-anybody but Adley at all. I like Maverick quite a bit. But Adley outclasses him in every conceivable way. And in fact it was Adley that Grayson was throwing to for the majority of his upper minor league career when he was dominating. So it's kind of bizarre to think that Maverick is going to be the guy that unlocks Grayson when it was Adley who did that first.

I'll agree to disagree.  The wife reminds me that my strong opinion doesn't make it right.  So... I consider that with others that have the same tendencies.  If Adley's arm turns into Harper's arm... you may learn to like Handley (for his defense primarily) quite a bit more.

With respect to your fact that I bolded above...  The only real time Adley caught Grayson was 2021 in Bowie.  In 2021, Grayson and Adley's paths crossed for 9 weeks between June 1 and August 10.  Grayson pitched 11 games during that stretch.  I did not look at who caught each game..  In 2022 when Grayson was at AAA, Adley may have caught  2 games.   So they crossed paths for only 13 of Grayson's starts out of 34 at AA and AAA which is far from the majority.  So maybe the foundation for the rest of your 'outclass' beliefs are also more opinion than fact.  

Let's get back to what is important in the now... GO O's

I think they bonded at the 2020 camp.  GRod is going to shove tonight.

By the way, tonight’s game is available for free on milb.tv.  No subscription necessary.  6:35 start.  

Milb.tv still wants me to log in though? I do have an MLB.TV account

EDIT: I had to log on to MLB.TV, go to games and scroll down. Automatically redirected me to the Norfolk game

Spring for the year package for MiLB.  It’s fantastic.  Think it’s like $50 for the year.

If you have MLB.tv and want to watch MiLB.tv, there was a link to activate your MiLB.tv subscription in the email you received after your MLB.tv payment was processed.

Thanks. I had trouble logging into milbtv when I first signed up this year but now it works fine.

Actually, the gameday says it is Delayed Start: Ceremony

Delayed - bad weather.  Looks like earliest rain will stop would be 9pm.

Gahhhh... gotta love all the excitement buildup. Hope Grayson didn't warm up yet.

I really liked that song.  Thanks for getting it running round my brain for a bit
