That’s a good way to get back in the saddle, Cedric!

Challenge the talented young players.  He had three runs to work with.

He was never given a chance to learn how to pitch deep into games in the minors, how else is he going to learn?

If this was 2021 then sure, but we need a lot of innings from him this year and hopefully in October.

KB said flurries. I thought it was pouring haha

[Moose Milligan]

Hays, of course. 

[ArtVanDelay]

Hays grounds out.  A step in the right direction.

This weather reminds me of spring baseball when I played in high school.

Austin Hays is about to go from AS Game starter to 4th OF in less than a year.

Agreed.  I was surprised to see him come back in on a cold day in the early season and after a long half inning from the O's offense. 

Yea.  You have to pick your spots and that was not it.  Freezing.  He went 100% last inning thinking it’d be his last.  He was cooked.

I agree he should have had this chance in 2021, I said as much at the time.

Too late now.

Reminds me of Opening Day at Camden Yards one year in the early 2000s.  Vs Cleveland I believe.

He hit 95 on the K of Taylor.

I was driving in one of those snow squalls on I81 a couple years ago. Could see it coming at you in the distance but nothing you could do, and when it came on you it was pure whiteout for several minutes. Not fun!

Wander Franco went from ASG to out of baseball for life most likely  in two months, so it could be worse 

[Yossarian]

McCutcheon seems like a very good dude, by all reports I've heard.   

[ArtVanDelay]

Hitting a baseball in the snow cannot be easy
