What I wouldn’t give to see one of these beauties in the wild

Certainly raised my eyebrow a touch in the AFL last year.

I once awoke from a nap to a radio host texting me asking if I was ready for our scheduled interview about the Washington Commanders.

I had *all* the confusion until I realized he meant to text the other Josh Norris.

The Futures Game BP display put on by Joey Gallo at that park stands as one of the highlights of my career.

And here's another #Royals prospect, Austin Charles, hitting a bomb as well.

Royals top prospect Blake Mitchell homered as part of a three-hit day this morning. Here's what it looked like from the open side.

First pitch knock for Austin Charles.

Impressive first innings for Wolters and Suarez. The former touched 97 and got a K, the latter touched 96 and got a K and broke a bat. #Royals #Rays

Gonna be a fun day in Columbia. Matinee matchup of Blake Wolters vs. Santiago Suarez. #Royals #Rays

For the early birds (robins, particularly demanding crows)

For you night owls, or perhaps killdeer, here is the highlight reel of Gary Gill Hill's evening, including 15 whiffs. #Rays

Hard to be anything but mighty impressed with what I saw from #Rays RHP Gary Gill Hill tonight. Great combo of athleticism, present stuff, projection and stamina for six dominant innings.

First time in Columbia in a long time.

It’s Yilber Diaz Day today at noon. To recap: He has 21 Ks and 43 whiffs in his last 13 IPs

Another nugget I dug up: He’s one of just two pitchers to get A’s contact machine Jacob Wilson to whiff at multiple FBs this season, and he did it on consecutive pitches.

#Mariners prospect Felnin Celesten has not one but two home runs tonight, meaning the first game with a home run in his career is also the first game with multiple homers in his career.

Yilber Diaz's two May starts have been obscene.

13 IP, 3 H, R, ER, 3 BB, 21 Ks, 43 whiffs.

His whiff totals of 21 and 22 led the entire minor leagues in each of his two outings. #Dbacks

Dodgers prospect Joendry Vargas is making his stateside debut tonight. He's 1-for-1 in the ACL this evening.

Nature’s stenographer taking a much-deserved break

Before Father’s Day, make sure there’s a …

Best of luck to Brandon Sproat and Ryan Clifford as they move on to Binghamton.
