Andrew Raymond ropes a double in the gap. He thought it was gone. Didn’t exactly bust it out of the box.

My friend's son comes in to close it and looks sharp doing so. I missed him Wednesday, so happy I got to see him tonight. I've been excited about him. His Daddy was pretty good, too.

Yeah, Jay Powell said his dad is a former major leaguer.

Yes— met his Dad when he played Indy league ball. Great story.

Matt signed with MDCC out of Leland HS. From what I’ve heard, he wasn’t really that good (just what I heard!). His coach, Terry Thompson, who coaches tons of pitchers in the Jackson area now, changed him to a sidearmer. Had a great career there and DSU. Went undrafted, played Indy ball in Greenville for maybe two seasons, signed by maybe the Rangers in the middle of a season, and just worked his way up. Became a pretty deadly reliever.

Proud of him and happy to now watch his son. He’s been careful with Maddox and has done a good job of helping him develop, not overdoing it, and letting good coaches coach him without getting in their way.
