How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ask if they plan on losing this season? Asking for a friend.
Congratulations to him!

Congrats to your nephew. Hope he stays up the rest of his career!
That's awesome.
Big game today as well -- would tie the major league record for best start to a season (Brewers and Braves both made it to 13-0 in the 80's before dropping one).

The Rays start in about half an hour. Think I'll gamecast it to see if they tie the record and if your nephew gets some work in.
Rays are doing this with the youngest lineup in baseball (average batter age 26.9) and the fifth-youngest pitching staff (average age 28.1). And with the 4th-lowest payroll,

I wish I could have taken the day off from work; I'm about 2 hours from the Trop.
I have the ESPN Gamecast running.

badazz!!
Sox up 3-1 middle of the 5th.
Following this game makes me realize the Red Sox don't have much on offense any more.

Rays looking like a team of destiny in mid-April
Down 3-1 in the bottom of the fifth and they put a 7 spot on Boston going
Double, ground out, walk, single, line out, single, single, hit by pitch, bases-loaded bunt single, double.

Bristo is in!
so do the Mets and Padres...just try to ignore what the Rays are doing --- pretend Tampa doesn't exist.
i.e. pretend winning with a well-managed small payroll is not possible

Man, you really should have skipped work, OP

No runs allowed! Great work!
2 shutout innings, 3 strikeouts, and he struck out Captain Covid Justin Turner. Great debut.

His first MLB game is helping the franchise tie the best start to a season in modern history. That's a decent story for the kids.

This is prime TexAg-ing right here

My 7-year-old and I were listening on the radio in the car when I picked her up after school. She was going nuts!

Your schtick around here is so repetitive. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and each franchise has to find their path to compete.
But seriously, you came on a thread about a texags connection debuting in the Show and pitching lights out to talk payroll smack... come on man, stop bombing every thread on here with your commentary on payroll. We get it, if you were an owner you'd run your team like Ebenezer Scrooge.
And for the OP, this is AWESOME, I spent most of my youth dreaming about even making one appearance in the big leagues, so cool for this to happen to your family. Hopefully he's back in Tampa soon and gets to stay.
He's a nephew to all of us now!
He did get to play in Olsen once. He played his college ball at LaTech.

OP, this is awesome to see. Let us know when he gets the call up again!
-Ben There/R.C.
That's awesome. Looks like he's on the older side as prospects go so it must be thrilling to finally get the call. Good for him, hope he has success.
Just got claimed off waivers by Detroit, so he is now a Mud Hen for the time being.

Just keep grinding. What a hell of an accomplishment. I can't imagine how hard he's worked.
baseball is a crazy game. He is still young at 28. Just got to keep grinding, and you never know when he may have that breakout season.
