I don't follow baseball as closely as football and basketball, but I definitely appreciated these two interviews.

Congrats to Gino going to the Show.

Gino is batting 0.322 & has a .421 OBP for the Reno Aces.

Why do the Diamondbacks like him? He gets on base.

After going hitless in MLB debut, LuJames has 1 5 game hitting streak going.
Batting .227 with a .292 OBP, not bad but not great. If he can string together a few more consistent games, LuJames will stick to the roster and stay in the show.
