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 – Monday February 18, 2019

We made it to Goodyear, AZ for month of baseball. The weather is cold but that is alright. Friday is supposed to be a record low high of 51, going back to 1897. I need to unhook the water tonight (Tuesday) because tonight’s low is 30 degrees.

We’re here the sun was out today and we will enjoy what we get.

We are in the same site as the last two years, 386.

Got the new sun shade set up yesterday but it was to windy today when I took this picture to have the awning out. I’ll show it when the weather improves.

Goodyear, AZ – Monday February 19, 2018

Updated the text for February 14 and 15.

Today we are in Goodyear for a month of baseball. The first game is this Friday February 23. This year will have more night games than any other previous year. Last year was two and this year is nine night games. The article I read said the goal is to increase attendance, on the average night games have 2000 more people than a day game.

Today’s drive:

Our site 386:

Same site as last year. The RV Parks business is improving, when I checked in I asked to made reservations for next year and she said I can not make reservations until “June or July” she wasn’t sure which month. They have been selling more manufactured homes and don’t want to tie up a site they could sell.
