He officially leaves the organization having an 81.00 ERA with 3 walks on 0.1 IP.
Today’s Lineup:

Press Box Dining: Review
- Today’s meal was a Lemon-Rosemary Grilled Chicken with a side of Antipasti Salad. I chose the assorted candy as my dessert.
- The chicken was standard if not a little dry, with the abundance of mostly mushy rice not helping. The salad was too bitter for my liking while the cucumber and salami were the only enjoyable part. The overall rating for today’s meal would be closer to 6.5 if it wasn’t for the assorted candy. It was a little heavy on the sour candies (BOTH sour gummy worms and rollable sour gummy “string”), but they were tasty with the white chocolate covered pretzels providing a diverse consistency. The Whooper-esq chocolate balls really made the meal, but there were too few of them (only 3) despite them being a highlight.
- Rating: 7/10
