5 May 2300 - No Comeback This Season for Atomicroller: Adam Atomicroller had hoped for the best, but expected the worst. Today, he learned from the Grape medical staff that he would miss the rest of the season. The Grape reliever suffered a stretched elbow ligament in an earlier ballgame. He admitted to being discouraged, but said he plans to come back strong next year.
Atomicroller was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2299 draft by the Painted Ghouls. He appeared in four games in relief in 2300, allowing five earned runs in 4.2 innings for a 9.64 ERA. He had a 0-1 record.
