    I didn't know they were racist, but damn if they aren't the best Girl Scout Cookies out there.

    Bagwell is having fun in the booth. He's great to listen to tonight.

    Bagwell sounds like he really enjoys being in the booth. I think he would be great pre or post game

    Am I the only one who things the A’s uniforms are very under appreciated. YOu always hear about the iconic uniforms (yanks, Red Sox, Cubs, cardinals) you typically don’t hear the A’s meantioned

    A crooked number early is really nice for a change.

    Bagwell the person and Bagwell the active player are night and day.

    Him and Biggio very rarely ever showed any real personality back in the day. But in the booth he always shows a cool personality. Lot of funny quips, and he knows his s**t (which we all knew).

    TK can just let Blum and Baggy have a conversation the whole game. I would enjoy that

    I was thinking the same. Obviously I am a Bigg guy hints the user. Altuve is my current favorite. I loved every minute that I played through college and Bigg and Altuve play the same way

    Major trip down memory lane with that Baggy HR clip from the dome. My dad was super cheap, so every dime game as a kid I had a nosebleed seat. Therefore, I would always stand behind the screen and flowers just behind the left field fence. I distinctly remember seeming Bonds make a great catch against the wall as a 12 yr old

    What he said about Yuli in the 1st, about his bat "staying in the zone" longer than most, was spot on.

    Then Blum said something like "well, you know a thing or 2 about that"...

    "1500 career strikeouts say otherwise."

    That cracked me up.

    Fisher is showing signs of life at the plate over the last week.

    Got lucky, but it was still a well struck ball in play. With his speed that can result in a little good luck.

    I was checking the grill, so I didn't see the rest of that AB, but his swing on the 1-1 fastball down the middle was not good.

    I like the bats today. Need more Bagwell.

    Dude still has far too much swing and miss in his game, but his end results have looked better. Quite a few well struck balls.

    It's a big step of from 3 weeks of K's and lazy pop ups. It's a process. He looks like Ty Cobb compared to Marisnick right now.
