That's way off. I'm watching the video feed.

Collins takes a walk, obviously.

Basabe, in his first AB, drops down a beautiful bunt, but thought someone ruled it foul or dead ball, and pulled up short of 1B. Announcer said he would have certainly beat it out, but instead it's an out.

Joel Booker, in his first AB in AA, legs out a double on a line drive to the RCF gap.

Did I mention that his double was about 2 feet from a HR off the giant 25ft CF wall? He's murdering the ball today.

He's more than fine, he just hit an Oppo HR!

Adolfo must be fine, he's batting here again.

RutherBOMB.

Forbes sure has made a lot of very good plays at 3B tonight. How's his defense supposed to be? He's made 3 plays in 3 innings so far.

Robert grounded out (maybe) to SS in his 2nd AB. He may have beat the throw, but it was very close either way. So far, he has swung at all 6 pitches he's seen in High-A (One of them was a bunt attempt that he didn't pull back his bat in time for).

FUCK, Adolfo just blasted a 2B off the top of the high CF wall, but was tagged out in between 2nd and 3rd as he pulled up limp and didn't even try to run back to 2B. Trainers out now. UGGGHHH

Robert with a hard single up the middle on an 0-2 count in his first AB in Winston-Salem. He then stole 2B easily, and nearly got the pitcher to throw the ball away on a pick-off attempt at 2B. He was dancing all over the place at 2B, causing the P and SS to have a meeting about it.

FYI, Charlotte, Birmingham, AND Winston-Salem are all on milb.tv tonight. I'll have all 3 games going on in 3 windows at the same time. ?

Anyone else going to Joliet Fest this Saturday?

Damnit, all the affiliates start right when I have to leave for my volleyball games. EDIT: I have late games tonight. Fuck yeah!

Hey! The.....lighthouse mall is there though!

Finished Far Cry 5. Really solid game, and I liked it much better than Far Cry 4, although I've never been disappointed in any version of that franchise (admittedly, I refuse to pay money for FC: Primal). I just started Detroit: Become Human and fuck is it beautiful. I don't even have a PS4 Pro, and yet it's still the best looking game I've ever played. Watchdogs 2 was probably the bar before this one. If you've played Heavy Rain, the goofy controls are still there, but I just adore the "choose your own adventure" storytelling that Quantic Dreams does. My girlfriend was super in to the first mission of the game. I let her make all the decisions, and she ended up saving the hostage's life (Played as a hostage negotiator/detective). So she was thrilled to "win" and wants to keep playing.

I agree. Until he starts tearing up AA, he doesn't really move the needle for me.

Man, I hope we can figure out a way to get Bryce Bush signed. That kid is yoked.

#BadlyForAdley, I like it.

I don't know if it's just because an IU kid, but I'm very excited for him. Madrigal, Steele, Stiever, and Bilous are the ones I'm keeping the closest watch on, the first two guys being obvious. I actually like Steiver more than Pilkington.

Jesus dude...calm down.

I will only be looking for his BB and his Ks to a certain extent. I don't care if he gives up 5 or 6 runs, just pound strikes.

I've been enamored with Stubbs since we were all making Sale/Q to Astros deals over the last 20 months. He's been considered an above-average defensive catcher with an above-average arm, but he also happens to be hitting .356! this season in AAA, with a BB rate of about 10%, and a K% of only 13.5%. I guess the only knock against him is that he doesn't have much power. But with good defense, good arm, good eye, good contact, fuck it, no power is fine.

I think you'd have to add Nate Jones to make that work. Astros can't be desperate enough to get Abreu to give up their best "touchable" prospect in a deal that wouldn't help fix their more pressing need, their bullpen.
