Heard that Ryan Moore was staring in right field earlier this week from a very reliable source. Then was told just before game time that he was hampered by a thumb injury. He then goes out and pitches to 6 batters giving up no runs and striking out 3. Not sure if his thump bothers him or not, but hopefully he could be one of our better options coming out of the bullpen while also helping in the outfield. Good way for team to start season tonight.
Could it be that his left thumb was the problem and he couldn't swing a bat? That would still allow him to pitch effectively.
