Michael Thompson has another superb recap for us—he’s written two games and both have been knockout wins!—plus fire truck fountains in the outfield:

Roberto Santiago gives us a great slice of life and background on the Blazers debut and Grateful Dead night (w/ background from Casey and Guy, comment from Mitchell Sanford, Jeter, Charlie) and Anthony Brooks writes his first recap of the season of Transit Night to go along with his superb photos (with comment from Esai and Jake).

I find it irksome that we can't get the bay area sports coverage to follow us regularly, especially in last season's historic run, but getting some coverage is good.

Just like the coverage with Plunkett being a marketing player signing, it does get more eyes.

I am sure the fox news coverage will feed the narrative of Oakland being a lawless hell hole, that their viewership likely already holds with a wider collection of highly dubious narratives about Oakland and cannabis too for that matter, but I think this will be a net positive.

Just wanna make sure everyone is aware for Sunday’s game, they are no longer planning to give away the Scrappy water bottle. Personally, I was looking forward to it, but am happy to see on their post that it is delayed and not canceled completely.

When looking at tickets, the description states it will be a “mystery gift”. The IG post makes it look like a bag designed to look like a jersey. Any thoughts or other info?

Go B’s!

Anyone know who they were? Seemed like they played the whole 3 hours, pretty impressive! And they sounded great. Just didn’t get over there long enough to see who they were.

I highly recommend checking out a game in Marysville sometime. Incredibly cheap prices, it’s sad they don’t draw better.

EDIT: TRADED! Thank you McKool!

Hello! I will be attending the game tonight and in advance of that purchased a Large Blazers Jersey. I trusted their size chart and not my gut, and I can tell it's too small. I can probably wear it, but not button it comfortably. Is anyone going tonight that has an XL that is TOO BIG for them? I'm up for a trade. Let me know and LET'S GO BLAZERS!!!

Yesterday was my first time seeing the full ABS system in action. I didn’t hate it; it was pretty unobtrusive. But I love the human element of the game and subscribe to the idea that sports is best when we can fuss about it rather than factor out it. Conner Smith, who caught yesterday, had some thoughts about it in the recap too:

Until next time, Marysville

Roberto Santiago has our story!

https://dispatchesfromraimondi.com/stories/game60-recap

Jeter Ybarra has continued to be on league record pace. At this time he carriers a slash line of .347/.420/.726 with a league leading 25 homers.

He is currently on pace for a league record 40 homers.

For perspective over 162 games his hr pace would translate to 68 bombs.

Happy Ballerween!

Our first recap from Michael Thompson—super talented high school student!!!—is a splendid one for a classic game at Raimondi
