The A's just did one of the coolest things I've seen in their broadcast: Just unfiltered audio of the live director calling a Lawrence Butler plate appearance...that went about as well as they could have hoped for.

Strong solar yesterday -- over 10GWh, for the first time in weeks ☀️ So, it should be clear for tomorrow's partial eclipse! As the chart shows, generation will be on the wane by ~7.10pm when it reaches its peak. However, we should still be able to spot a dip in the graphs. Follow us for more! 🌑 📊
