Now let’s go straight to the CAREFULLY CURATED MEDIA QUOTES.
Jarred Kelenic: "As excited as I am to get going with major league career, I'm just as excited for (Logan Gilbert) to start his major league career because that guy has worked extremely hard and he deserves to be here and I know all the fans are going to see that tonight."

Jarred Kelenic on what he saw from Logan Gilbert: "Pure dominance. I think that's the best word to describe it. His outing in Tacoma was spectacular. I think he gave up maybe two hits, and they were jam jobs. ... Tonight I don't expect anything less."

"If he throws me a cookie, I've got to be ready to hit it"
