O’Grady is back

Big news for Clarkstown North fans. Chris O’Grady is pitching again for the Rams, at least a month before he thought he’d ever get on a mound again. He threw two innings against South in the outbracket, walking three and striking out the same number. When I saw his name in the box score I thought there might have been a mistake, since he told me in preseason that he wouldn’t be healthy until summer.
But I spoke to him this afternoon and sure enough, doctors cleared him to throw again. He doesn’t think he’ll start, but even in relief he’s like a mini-Joba Chamberlain. Late season call-up, big guy with good stuff, on a strict innings limit. John Jay can relax though, he’s not ready to come back out on Saturday. But if North gets to the quarters, he’ll be waiting in the pen.
O’Grady was supposed to be North’s ace until he wrecked his knee playing football in the fall. He’ll pitch for George Mason next year.

O Grady was not that impressive walking in a run
O’Grady did great for the first time out, he would of been out of it except for an error. Good Luch to him.
He is an impressive talent. No wonder he will be playing D1 ball.
He’s done now.
It has been great playing with Chris. I know that he will do great playing for D1 George Mason!
O’Grady is not done, he hasn’t even gotten started yet.
sINCE HE PITCHED ON THURSDAY THEY WOULD HAVE LOST THE GAME NO pitcher who threw on thursday was allowed to pitch today by section when they put him in the game was over!!!!!!!!

At the beginning of the year I would of thought Giordano was a cinch to be in the top 3. Heard he had the injury bug.
