Today’s line up:
At this point I’d say this is the starting line up except for Robertson, I’m think he is still looking for a spot on the team.
Our seats today.
Section 115
Row D
Seats 11, 12
Da-Ho Lee made the 40 man rooster today and he got ball signing duty.
Felix had his regular none pitching day duty of harassing the other team.
The first tine Seager goes on the field he always goes right out and stands on third base. It belongs to him and he wants everyone to understand that.
Lind got himself a new glove.
This picture is from the 19th and he had an older glove, guess he figures he had better start his position with his new team with a new glove.
Seager did not have a perfect day.
He knew when the ball left his hand he was in trouble.
Can you see the ball just outside of Lind’s reach?
Today’s attendance, really low?
But the happy totals.
Yesterday Cano got three home runs with 7 RBI’s, so today Cruz had to (edit Cano ) hit it OVER the batter’s eye for 1 of our 2 runs in the 7th. Fun game (not to HOT today).
Section 115
This is before the game started and people come down to the edge of the field to get autographs from anyone who will come sign things. It is interesting how many people will come down to the field level seats and sit in some else’s purchased seat in hopes the original purchaser will not show up for the game.
I think this is new catcher Brintley who came by today.
Seager stealing third base.
Today’s attendance.
The happy totals.
I than had to add weight to the front of the telescope to counter balance the weight of the camera. I didn’t take a picture of the several pounds of steel I attached as the counter balance.
Yes, I have not figured out how to get a better focus than this, I can get worse really easy.
Today’s starting line up.
Section 111
The big guy had a good start today. I think he pitched 6 innings.
Got to have some hitting pictures, top one is Seager and lower one is Cano.
We are still stealing bases.
Today’s attendance.
The happy totals.
Tonight’s seats:
Section 109
Jay Buhner was with the team last night. I think he was the only one without a hat. If he had a hat on nobody would have known it Jay, sly Jay.
Look at the expression on the home plate umpire, “You don’t think I’m going to call a strike on any of your teams pitches”.
This looks like a out?
Wrong Lind would have had to catch the ball.
Looks like this is going to be another out?
Wrong again, the ball has to be at least close to the base.
Tonight’s attendance.
And the final score.
I don’t remember if I included a picture of the Mariners Peoria Office.
This was the only catcher I have seen using the catcher/water wings.
Today’s line up.
Section 111
It was another kids day.
These kids all got a signed baseball.
This young man was not sure where he was supposed to be so he ran to this point and stopped.
You see a lot of these big lenses.
The unhappy totals, not a good hot day at the ball park.
Section 117
Felix on his way to warm up.
Everybody wants a family photo.
The ball waiting for Felix.
Felix gets the ball for the first pitch of the game.
Pitching picture.
Got to have several of Felix. He had a pretty good outing and should be ready for opening night.
Coach had to go out and discuss a call at first base, it really looked like we lost out on several calls.
This is tonight’s attendance.
And the unhappy totals, D-Backs have the best record in Training Season Baseball.
Our seats for the day.
Section 113
Somebody was doing an interview on a DSLR camera, with cameras and phones high quality video is available to everyone these days. I read someplace about a TV station had laid off most of the station’s camera people and given all their reporters a new Iphone and told them to shoot their own video.
Again Felix was in the dugout signing balls and hats for fans.
Karns was trying hard to get the runner at first base.
And he finally got them.
It was a warm day, evening TV said 88 degrees in the shade and 418 degrees in the sun.
Today’s attendance.
And today’s happy totals.
Today’s line up.
Section 107
Iwakuma got the start, he was writing something in the dirt on the back side of the mound.
First pitch
The results
Second pitch
The results
We are struggling at first base and yes that is the ball going past the first baseman.
Root Sports came by for a while towards the end of the game.
Almost a sold out game, the stadium holds 12,000 and change.
and here are the happy totals, the third inning was fun.
This was from last Sunday’s game. Nelson Cruz is at bat and the ball is coming right at us. It hit two rows down right in front of us. Nellie got a little ahead of this one.
