Goodyear, AZ – Mariners Spring Training

Game two was sunny and with a sweat shirt a warm day.

Line up

Felix has a good first inning. He got a bad call by the umpire, a foul ball was called as fair and the rest of the inning was ugly. He reached his pitch count and was pulled before the end of the second inning, San Diego scored 4 runs on him.

Had a good time in the sun.

Goodyear, AZ – Friday February 22, 2019

First day of our Spring Training, the very first game was an away game and got rained out.

With tarp on the mound and in the outfield things didn’t look to promising. It rained during the first inning, however we got a baseball game.

Today’s line up.

Ichiro picture taken though the NEW screen :(. The screen from behind home plate now extends out to third base.

It was cold day for Phoenix, lowest high since 1897 51 degrees.

Has a great time

Oh yeah, after the game it RAINED. We were parked twenty cars out from the main gate and by the time we got to the car we were like wet rats.

Goodyear, AZ – Wednesday February 20, 2019

Home set up for five weeks.

This winter I changed out the sun shade which hangs off the awning for afternoon shade. The first shade had to be installed into the awning tube each time we used it. The new one has a small section which installs on the tube (about 2 inches) than the rest of the shade attaches to this small piece with a zipper. This way I attach the shade by myself.

I washed the pickup here at the park and took the tow bar off the pickup. I spent quite a bit of time getting the really small rocks out of the side window tracks, we drove through a lot of road sand getting here and need to get the sand out so the windows don’t get scratched. I also need to get some WD-40 to wash out the padlocks I use on tow bars. There is some sand inside two of the locks.
