Play ball! 🤘🏻

My daughter is having her 8th birthday party today, so I won’t be on my usual play-by-play and analysis duties for the game.

Here’s to a series win and a chance to sweep on Sunday!

I’m an old sportswriter and happy to post some updates. It’s 73 degrees but very windy. Wind blowing left to right at the moment. Have a great party! 🤘🏻

Man he’s flashed some leather since the season started 

[AZ Longhorn]

Harrison not missing many bats or barrels. Good swings against him, comfortable at bats. Let's hope he dials in the command or eventually they'll break through.
