Very annoying pro debut for Fernando Cruz. Grounded into a fielders choice and then was caught stealing in the first. Then the rain came and the game was suspended.

Robin Ortíz ($400k bonus) went 1/1 with a line drive single before the rain.

Still better than Kris Bryant's debut in Eugene.

Do you want to feel old? KB's short-season NWL debut was in Boise.

Getting old sucks. My school recently hired a girl to teach Science/Stem on my team. A girl named Kaitlyn.

12 years ago, it was my first year at this school and I was teaching sixth grade. In my first class I ever taught in that school year, there was a girl named Katie.

Katie and Kaitlyn are the same people. I'm now working with my former students who I taught when they were in sixth grade.

Oh, boo hoo😬. You think that is old? I just got a text today from a grade school buddy of mine talking about our 50th year reunion for our graduating class. 😥 Now, that is old. Am I right biitner and thawv? Anyone else? 

I consider you young. I appreciate you and guys of your age talking here. It makes me view baseball differently than most of the guys I talk baseball with. Which then sometimes frustrates me when they make statements, based on old counting numbers, on if a guy is good or not. But that is ok. I can listen to them and try to educate them, but usually it falls on deaf errors (literally….. we are old so hearing goes).
