GREENSBORO COVERAGE

I’ve been in Greensboro this week, checking out the High-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. This team is fun to watch on a nightly basis. The pitching at this level has some of the most intriguing arms in the system, with a legit pitching prospect to watch each night. The offense includes 2022 first rounder Termarr Johnson, along with a few other recent draft picks out of college who have stood out.

Be sure to check out all of the Prospect Watch articles this week for my daily reports. I’ll have a team report on Monday, and player features throughout the upcoming week.

BULLPEN GAME TODAY

The Pirates are starting left-hander Ryan Borucki in today’s game, going with a bullpen effort at the MLB level. I’m glad they’re moving to this outside the box type strategy.

SONG OF THE DAY

If I had to lose a mile
If I had to touch feelings
I would lose my soul
The way I do

I don’t have to think
I only have to do it
The results are always perfect
And that’s old news

Would you like to hear my voice
Sprinkled with emotion
Invented at your birth?
