Interested to see what Beede can do in Iowa.

Careful with his name and the exclamation point.  I did a double take. 😂

Iowa game one on Marquee:

 

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Rough one for Sanders, couldn't throw strikes

[CaliforniaRaisin]

 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Mulé hitting 98:

3 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K so far 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

53 pitches (35 strikes). Good season debut.

Great night for Naz.  Wheat actually threw strikes in his first inning and started getting my hopes up as well, but his second inning went back to form.

[Bertz]

It'd be really cool if Owen Ayers just breezed through A+.  As the age relative to league obsessed guy 25 years old at AA is not ideal but for a catcher it at least stops giving me the ick.

Night isn't over for Iowa yet, but Alcantara with 5 K's (and a double).  Ouch.

.Kepley two more K's tonight.  7K's in 4 games (17AB) may not be a sustainable way to succeed. 

Southisene with 4SB tonight, up to 7 on season.  Kinda fun.

man, it's hard to be excited about anything Alcantara does when he's striking out more than Brett Jackson

I thought we all had agreed never to say that name again.

Can we say Clayton Kershaw instead?

/reference to Carrie Muskat confusing Clayton Kerhsaw for Brett Jackson

Whatever did Kershaw do to deserve that kind of hate?
