Friends, I’d like nothing more than to be able to tell you that Grayson Rodriguez went out on Triple-A Opening Night and was utterly dominant, exposing the Orioles choice to start him in the minor leagues as being every bit as cynical as segments of both the local and national commentating crowd took as assumed. I’d like to tell you about Rodriguez striking out like ten guys in a five-inning start where he still had pitches left to spare to get to 100.
That’s what I’d like to do. Reality is not so kind to any of us here today.
