Humble brag.....Crossing off a bucket list item this Sunday at the Cards game!
Won a drawing to throw out the First Pitch this Sunday! Super freakin' excited, while being a bit nervous at the same time. Don't want to just weakly lob one in there, but also don't want to overthrow it wildly or bounce it either!

You better be throwing to Cody Stanley just in case. My brother gets to throw out the first pitch sometime in June. I'm jealous but I'm pretty sure if it was me I would have an anxiety attack.

That's freaking awesome!! Try to snap one off and send a 12-6 bender in there. Hey, if it goes to the back screen, oh well, but if you manage to pull it off, it'll go down as the best First Pitch of all time. That's a risk reward I'd be willing to take right there!

Congrats CK! I suggest listening to Yadi on pitch selection. You may have a better FIP+ on your slider, but Yadi will be familiar with the weaknesses of the opposing hitter. If he calls for the curveball low and away, be prepared to execute.

lmao...that might be worth the chance....i can definitely throw one, but normally they don't bounce, i don't get on top of em and my shoulder flies open leaving it head high w/ a good chance of it going to the backstop!
Hey, i'm a lefty....maybe the Cards would like what they see...Choate sucks...amiright?

Oh my gosh, my completely made up odds of you making the roster went from 1 in 10 bilion to 1 in 1 billion, definitely worth the risk! Hell yeah, don't even worry about it, just snap one off and go take Choate's jersey off his back and take his spot in the bullpen.

Cool. How much time will you get to spend with anyone on the team?
