Minor Ballpark, Major Hitters: Guards Punch the A’s

Cleveland Guardians baseball player celebrating on the field, fist raised with a cheering crowd in the background.

Like Hammy, I still wonder what to call the Athletics. Supposedly they’ll move to Vegas in a couple years, but we’ll see. Currently they wear ‘Las Vegas’ patches on the arm

I’m surprised that Bazanna got so many walks! But it shows that he has some amazing plate discipline.

  • I was stuck on a plane for this one as well, and I could only hear some of it, but it was wild! A rollercoaster!
  • Hoskins is a Sacramento boy and got his first home run in his home town.
  • Petey Halpin (one of my fave teammates when I play MLB: The Show) came up to replace George Valera. Haplin is a fast runner, and we need that, especially in the outfield. Valera never looked comfortable out there.
  • DeLauter went 4 for 4, and it looks like he’s going to be a solid player if he stays healthy.
  • Kwan and Martinez made some beautiful defensive plays.

  • Hedges with a solo home run and a brilliant pick off play at first that astounded even him!
  • Jose stole his 300th base!
  • Bazanna finally got his first hit, and it was an RBI! Then he followed it up with a stolen base.
  • Hoskins with his second homer in Sacramento, and his family was there for it.
  • Petey Haplin went in to pinch run for Fry, and then took over center. On his first field play, he stole a home run from the As with a perfect catch.
  • Hunter Gaddis is looking a little rough. We need him to be steady to go the distance.

  • It’s weird how well we hit and yet only got one run.
  • Our starters haven’t been lasting long which is rough on the bullpen.
  • Speaking of the pen, Pallette had a really rough day.
