Thanks for the posts this season Mike. You are my favorite player!
CONGRATULATIONS Michael! It’s wonderful to see you progressing toward your goal. You’re a great guy and a great pitcher growing ever greater. Love ya (though you might wonder about that, considering how little I let you know it),

Belated congrats on your promotion to LV . Very nice numbers at AAA. A fantastic whip of .84 after 6 games and 8.1 IPs. Keep up this work and you will be in the BIGs soon
Schwim, The phils hired HOF’er Bruce Sutter today as their pitching consultant for AAA and AA. If and when you have some discussion with him, id love to have some feedback about what advice he gives and how he changes your approach!
