Put Luft/Evans in LF. 2 horrid errors on lazy flies.
The sky is tricky right now for LF.
It does look very bright! Way different than those snow clouds in Boone.

The boys are hitting now. We keep wearing pitchers down with great at bats.

Be nice to have a 7 inning game in one of these 2.

The first one he played it correctly. He looped in behind it but lost it at the last second. Second one was an effort play. He was pretty deep to begin with as the wind is blowing out to left.

Wind is whipping!
Our arms seem to have a little better command this year but it’s early.

One thing I’m loving are all the opposite-way swings we’re making.

Good to end this one early. Kam with a lot of RBIs, pretty good pitching and a 2-0 record. Good job gentlemen

Gardner touched 92 twice on the gun. He’s got a nice pickoff move as well.

A little surprised to see both catchers in the lineup, but no Evans yet

Looks like the Twitter lineup doesn't match the actual lineup

He’s handling the situation with some poise. His body language doesn’t show signs of being rattled by the moment.

Blows two fastballs by an over-matched hitter. Then gets too cute by trying to push him off the plate. Hits him. Next batter hits a chopper to the mound. Should have taken the force at second. Then hangs a first-pitch, get-ahead slider for two runs. Cost himself at least one run for not using his noodle.

What happened to Beaty? Did he hurt himself in warmup? I saw him pitching, left the room and when I came back, it was Tramontana
