I’ve been in the baseball industry for almost 20 years now
The hardest working & most successful in my eyes all seem to share two major qualities:
They don’t allow the opinions or actions/reactions of other people to affect THEIR decisions
They hold themselves accountable
@AstrosPlayerDev Only 19, Wagner trained at P27 Academy and committing as one of 8 Univ. of Tennessee signees drafted last July.
FCL will be a nice first step climb.
Since pitches were first tracked in 1988, tonight's @astros - @Rangers game is the only MLB game where both starters:
pitched 8.0+ innings
allowed no more than 1 run
struck out 7+ batters
threw fewer than 100 pitches
“Thank you to the Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs, Baltimore Orioles and Oakland A’s for allowing me to represent your cities throughout my career.”
Tony Kemp, a fan favorite no matter where he played, is calling it a career after nine Major League seasons. https://t.co/vaf22nhJYZ
Gordon acquitted himself nicely. Biggest thing for young arms is building on it, get a leg up on his next foe. String several of these together to establish himself in this rotation with Gusto Blubaugh Ullola on heels of adding needed depth.
