September 6, 201115 yr Congrats to your nephew, I saw him in GCL and FSL, he looked pretty good, remind him to tip the clubhouse workers!

September 7, 201115 yr Author so jeff confirmed for me today that he is pitching saturday against the fish and then his next start will be against the dodgers in LA im so damn excited for him anyways, please dont root too hardly against my cousin come saturday, marlins nation
September 11, 201115 yr Author yes he did and he didnt throw the ball very well either...nerves...but i had an amazing time and got a bunch of pirates gear and got to meet Jason Grilli in the pro shop with his family and he was basically the nicest guy ever and told me how the guys would look after jeff and keep him out of trouble anyways, wow...that stadium is beautiful and i got to watch friday night's game too where the marlins did shell the pirates so really in comparison, jeff threw pretty well when compared with his teammates and he kept the ball in the park anyways, the pirates are my new 2nd favorite team and definitely have the best ballpark ive been to...and now after a 10 hour drive home, im taking a nap
