Well, the Gro’s pushing the season. Probably has a couple of more starts trying to get to that kind of magical double figures mark as you see his Caesars’s numbers from this year. I think he’s the front runner personally for the rookie of the year. His stats have just been through the roof, but still got to finish strong. Two to Yelich and he struck him out and that’s how the game begins. Deg Grom with the strike out. Well, there’s no fear in this kid. He gets behind you and he he turns it up a notch.
