Collins bomb. His 5th.

Robert 2B. Zzz.

Nope. Second to Lodolo currently.

Nova works pretty slow huh?

In case some people wanted to see some Manoah. Plenty of him in these highlights. He's a demonstrative fellow. I like it!

Law was there. Also noted his velocity was up.

We do have Luis Gonzalez and Micker hits today. Looks like Omar shuffled that lineup too.

So rain is the missing piece of the puzzle for Gio velocity? ?

Why the hell is he at 95 in the pouring rain?

Your optimism in what is often a downpour of dour is appreciated.

Are we expecting this game to continue? What's the outlook on the rain?

Law can kinda be that way too. The one or two word answers that don't really add anything. I think I like Kiley's chats the best of the three.

Longehagen chat tidbits. Nothing too crazy or substantial. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/eric-longenhagen-chat-4-12-2019/

I was under the impression that he was just being eased into the season via the bullpen, and will be starting again at some point. I recall reading that somewhere, but I don't have a link available.

Here's the triple too.

He admired that one.

Robert HR. Woo!

Steele should probably be in W-S soon.

The only hit Birmingham has tonight as described by Gameday. "singles on soft ground ball to the catcher." Rough.

For sure. I'm still optimistic though. This is his first full season after-all.

At least Lambert has had an excellent start. I imagine he's done. Probably the next best active pitching prospect next to Cease. 6.0 IP 3 H 1 R 3 BB 8 SO

Woof. These Birmingham prospects. Utter garbage starts to the year. All around.

Looks like every affiliate but Kanny has an MILBTV stream tonight?

Aight. We are going to have a wonderful start from Lambert, and breakout games from Gonzalez, Adolfo, and Rutherford tonight. Thanks.
