Chourio HR was a no doubter just off of the batters eye in CF.

Capra HR was a spring training HR.  Just barely over the wall.  Fly out if in a normal stadium.

It wasn’t hit all that hard.

If anyone was interested Hiura looked bad.  Definitely still has a giant hole in his swing.

The camera angle for the A's broadcast is absolutely brutal with some combination of the umpire, shortstop, and baserunner all blocking the strike zone at different times.

Welp, the A's will continue being the A's, no matter where they're based out of. Lol

The air is much lighter in Arizona. Ball carries much easier there. Probably would've been a flyout in Milwaukee, or pretty much everywhere else.

For whatever reason - I’m actually rooting for the A’s this season to play well

They have a fairly good team in a difficult division 

It will be fun to watch MLB games in minor league parks this season

Blake Burke just hit a bomb in Peoria

McKendry with a really rough inning. 30 pitches, only one out, 6 runs and a grand slam to Julio Rodríguez.

And Bowman, who's had a really great spring thus far, comes in and immediately surrenders a homer to Raleigh and a double to Arozarena

Mariners major leaguers finally put away our minor leaguers

McKendry looked Peralta-like … he was horrible 😏

Sal has really hit the ball hard this spring……let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come

He’s been trying to tell us about the muscle he added 🙂

Bitonti with a 113mph  line drive off the wall for a single. I’m only listening to the game and the crowd gasped.

[edfunderburk]

Bitonti just smoked a line drive off the RF wall against the Rockies starter ⚾️
 

I like this kid 💪

Cortes looks like a quality starter - he should balance out the up & down Peralta
