Rough night for Rainer, he's being too passive at the plate from what I have watched. I think he'll find his footing soon, though. Liranzo though, even if it is on a rehab stint looks good; the weight loss is noticeable. Also, don't look now but Peyton Graham is actually healthy and is putting together a nice start to the season.

Playing six years of college ball is unusual.  Is that due to a Covid waiver?

No idea but I hope his nickname is Doctor or something similar for the time it took

I wonder if he's feeling too much weight of people expecting him to be the next hotshot prospect (after Clark of course)? Of course, maybe I'm reading way too much into it but his K numbers are AWFUL so far this young season. Striking out at a 43.4% clip. (23 Ks in 53 PA)

I don't think that's unexpected. If you've had that type of surgery, you feel sort of like Frankenstein for a while.
