Wow! After just 2 starts in AAA.

The stuff I read tells me his stuff is amazing and he'll be a star, and also tells me he depends too much on a fastball that won't fool MLB hitters like it did in the minors. So we'll see.

I hope this kid is good. I love watching his interviews. I feel like I'm watching a kid that could have easily played on one of my son's teams.

Looking forward to seeing him pitch, and yes, great in interviews etc

We've waited tong enough.

Bang a gong!

A whole lot of TJ Shooks are being passed on the depth chart and left in the dust.

Best of luck to Mr Tong

I realize this says more about my aged self, but this guy still looks like he’s 16.

[MFS62]

I fear the over-hype.
