BASEBALL!

[Bèsame*]

We just bought tickets to a Ray's game! We have been talking about going for some time. Now that I'm home, we decided!

Tonight, under my carport, drinking a beer, we found a game that will work with our schedule. We laughed, we didnt even care where we sat. She says, we will just walk around..lol
I'm like yeah, we can go there and over there.

I can hardly wait!oh and our baseball field is enclosed. Who cares how hot it will be..lol

At least you won't be sitting in the direct sun, and those afternoon Florida showers won't get you. I've wanted to go to a Rays game - they're my second favorite team after the Braves. Apparently there are some additional rules because it's an enclosed field. Like, I think if a batter hits the ball and it hits the ceiling, it's an automatic home run. Or something like that. Give us a report when you get back, please!?

Did you know that Gunnar Henderson played baseball at Auburn; he’s from Alabama ( I just learned). And, oh boy, Kyle Braddish pitches a great game!

I’ve got my fingers crossed for them the rest of the season! I hope to see them play against the Seattle Mariners on July 4th. ��

Interesting...this is what I found out:

Batted ball that strikes either of the lower two catwalks (known as the 'C-Ring' and the 'D-Ring'), including any lights or suspended objects attached to either of those catwalks as well as any angled support rods that connect the 'C-Ring' to the masts that support the 'D-Ring' in fair territory: Home Run.


If it goes straight up, it could be an out if caught. Pop fly ball. It has certain perimeters it has to make to be a home run.

I think the Braves are depressed. So many of their star players are on the IL. They can't get a run to save their lives, except for Marcell Ozuna, and you can't win a baseball game with only one productive batter.

Have you all seen the Capital One commercial with the "Peaches" (actors) playing a scene from A League of their Own? "There's no crying in baseball!" Apparently there's no crying over credit cards either - oh wait, that's an oxymoron.

I’m still cheering for the Baltimore Orioles this year, but watching another baseball club from Arizona — The Diamondbacks….

The Diamondbacks are a good team. The Braves lost to them at least once last year, and probably more, if I recall correctly.

I'm still following the Braves. Our victory against the Phillies last night was swee-ee-ee-t! considering how much we lost to them last year, and what a hard time we've had getting started this year against the Padres and the Dodgers.
