Adley's interview from MLB Central this morning.

 

[spleen1015]

Setting team records on his 1st Opening Day. No big deal.

 

[Sports Guy]

He’s pretty good

[Emory Eagle]

Someone teach him how to slide into second base without nearly dislocating his shoulder and cleating the second baseman in the back of the head.  Other than that, no notes.

First MLB catcher to get 5 hits on opening day.

[jabba72]

Made two outs on the bases, otherwise a perfect day. I'll take 5-5 with a BB from a Catcher.

Getting the MVP campaign started pretty good.

What a grouchy, selfish, ungrateful player.

Sign this guy to an extension, ASAP.  It's going to get more expensive every day.

Good luck getting the Angelos family to negotiate an early extension. The time to act was last offseason maybe one day we’ll have an ownership group that is that forward thinking.

One of the things I really liked about his at-bats was his ability to foul off borderline pitches, raise kluber's pitch count, and wait for a better pitch to hit, or draw the walk. Kind of reminds me of Derek Jeter.

Please do not use curse words on this forum.

A couple of notes on Adley's historic day...

1. He raised his career OPS from .807 to .829

2. As has been widely discussed, that's the first 5-hit game ever on opening day for a catcher.  To put that in context, since 1901, there have been 2786 opening day starting catchers (1393 games including 2023).

He’s pissed that he was only ranked 35th amongst top 100 players.

Someone needs to tell the first base coach not to send Adley to second when he can't make it.
