To Be A Rookie Pitcher...

Craig Kimbrel gets the honor of toting the Hannah Montana backpack to and from the bullpen before and after each game. I'm pretty sure the guy to the left of him had something to do with that.

I haven't heard of any hazing of Jason Heyward yet. I wonder if they're all too afraid of him.

Moylan isn’t afraid of anything…

Brandon W: "What's up Heyward?"
Jason H: "Hangin with Freddie, What you up to Brandon?"
Brandon W: "nothing much."

You shouldn’t be afraid of me!!!!!

Oh, you meant the changeup Dave…got it! ;-)

Yeah, he did shove a shaving-cream pie in Heyward’s face after that first game.

Also, can we never get rid of Moylan? That guy is great.

I think it’ll be him or Heyward’s Backpack.

I remember someone saying something in spring training...

…and I forget who it was, maybe Hinske, maybe a pitcher. Anyway, the guy was asked whether Heyward was getting any rookie hazing. The guy said, no, Heyward carried himself so well, he didn’t get it. Besides, he continued, Jason could pick me up and throw me in my locker, so I am not going to do anything like that to him.

by cavebird on May 21, 2010 1:59 PM EDT reply actions  

I remember that too.

Makes you wonder...

…what costume they’ll give Heyward to wear on the flight home near the end of the season. Could it be anything other than a Superman costume? Any early bets?

I was thinking about that as well....

It just seems….wrong… to make him wear something ridiculous. But, I’m sure they will, and rightfully so. The Braves always do it when they leave on their last road trip of the year; I may try to be there for it this year.

Well, naturally, we all enjoy lapdances – just not from underage ugly little Disney Channel girls…

Man, for some reason, when I think about Miley/Haley/Hannah Cyrus/Montana giving a lapdance, I think of Elizabeth Berkley…

Venters got off easy..he was only the rookie in the bullpen for a short period…

by Dave_D on May 21, 2010 2:43 PM EDT reply actions  

I actually read from either Bowman or Dave O’Brien that Meds dumped the My Little Pony backpack (though I will continue to call him “My Little Pony”) and picked up the Hannah Montana one for Venters/Kimbrel. Classic.

by Sarahbeth on May 21, 2010 3:25 PM EDT reply actions  

DoB

Has an article where Medlen talks about he was the one who got him the backpack.

by drumzalicious on May 21, 2010 10:09 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Kimbrel down to AAA

Bobby wants him to get more work. Christian Martinez (who?) called up from AAA

Does the backpack go with him to Gwinnett?

When you've said Jason Heyward, you've said it all.........
