That slide piece is working tonight. More please.

Hey. A Forbes homer.

That was some sort of Palka dance out there.

Interesting. The A's broadcast crew noting that Dustin Fowler was initially going to be in the Yankees/White Sox trade last year until the injury happened.

Yes. And 95 at least twice.

Joel Booker hitting a cool .875 after that single.

Weird. He's touched 96 and hit 95 a few times as well. Also had a bout of not being able to throw a strike at all in the 1st. Then he had the breaking stuff working in 2nd inning with 2 Ks.

Who is this pitcher again?

That was a wonderful sequence on Barreto.

Joel Booker seems to like Birmingham so far. I guess I need to pull for him now that I know he went to Iowa.

Did I spy some emotion from Lucas? That's new.

Sigh. At least the velocity is up?

Adams with 6 SOs through 4.

Rutherford adds a 2B. Moar power.

Rutherford with a HR again tonight.

Spencer Adams starts the game giving up a HR then striking out the next 3 batters.

Madrial added a BB and a 2B today as well.

Hope folks are patient with him. Seems like there is still some rust to shake off. Also seems like a prime AFL candidate with Luis Robert.

Eep. Go tank go?

Oops!

Same. Doesn't hurt that both Oregon St and Florida have some likely first round picks for the 2109 draft we are getting a look at. Also, we will be seeing plenty of Madrigal vs Singer in the AL central in not too long.

RBI single for Madrigal. 2-2.

He's been pretty remarkable this year. He might end up being the best part of the Eaton trade. Solid stuff, good command, knows how to pitch. I've read/heard nothing but good things about him.

Not on my screen.

Thanks!
