should be starting tomorrow, played ball with him for 5 years, have known him for 10 and my boy finally making it fellas! Got a mean fastball and solid off speed. Fastball is a little flat though, wouldn't be surprised if he gets lit up or he might shut shit down. Just stoked for my good friend to make his debut. As of now they have graveman starting but it's gonna change. Keep an eye out fellas, cheers.

Forecast is 90 degrees with a 10+ mph wind blowing out to left. I wish your friend nothing but the best!

Appreciate it pal, ya I wouldn't be shocked if he got rocked but dude throws gas. Started in the Astros organization and learned a lot before getting traded but never liked the Astros system. He's only gotten better since being traded and really likes where he is mentally. Talked to him about it all over the Christmas break. Kids talent is through the roof. Was around 88 in high school and then around 91 for the Astros and now he's touching 98. Got gas and potential, hopefully will see it tomorrow.

Today is the day fellas, I'm riding with my boy at +115 for 500. Good luck everyone

Thanks raven, good luck to you also. Hopefully he steps up on the big stage. Would be really cool to watch him pitch well in the majors. Young kid though still could be early for him.. Guess we will find out. Lol

Am I missing something here?

Does not look like Oakland is playing today

He threw a solid game, had few too many walks but first outing expected that. Hopefully gets a spot in the Rotation ����

not a bad debut

seems like enough to warrant another start or 2 minimum

Ya I agree, if he can keep the walks to a minimum he will be just fine, got good stuff. Let one flat 2 seam go right down the pipe but it happens, learning experience

Second start for my dude, hopefully he can get some run support and take a dub
