Rob Gronkowski is the latest person to give his opinion on Tom Brady’s less-than-stellar first pitch at the Red Sox’s home opener this week.

Gronk’s take? There’s no way that Brady would ever throw something that poorly unless it was on purpose.
I saw that, too. I don’t know how he didn’t get it over the plate. He might have done that on purpose. I’m gonna ask him. You gotta at least get it to the catcher without a bounce.
Gronk is probably being a little hard on Tom here (after all, Tom isn’t paid to throw baseballs) but one can see where he’s coming from. Gronk was never drafted into the MLB (as opposed to Brady who was drafted by the Expos) and his first pitch at an Angels and Dodgers spring training game from earlier this month went perfectly well.
We were expecting a spike, but we got a strike! @RobGronkowski bringing the heat to @Trouty20 in tonight's 1st pitch. pic.twitter.com/p7iVjy2TSd
