Aaron Brooks makes his second start for the A's tonight, but the Eyeball Scout feels like it's the first time he will have a chance to really see Brooks. Ironic, since the Eyeball Scout was at Brooks' first start in person, but from section 216 one cannot see all the nuances of each pitch the way one can when watching on T.V.
Suffice it to say, Brooks' first start was an epic success marred only by a solo HR off the bat of Lonnie Chisenhall. Brooks pitched into the 8th inning, allowing just 1 run on 5 hits in 7u2153 IP with 0 walks and 5 strikeouts.
