Never been.

In college, I mapped out a summer trip going through the MidWest and East and hit like 20 stadiums in a month.

Never had the money, but would still love to do it.

One day.


I had a dream of all 30 in 30 days. Mapped out the route a few different ways but never connected it with the actual schedule. Getting around the west would be hard overnight.

How TF is Tampa Bay 9-0

They are probably still only pulling 7,000 per night in attendance
And only two teams have lower payrolls.

And they've scored a ridiculous number of runs. I think I saw their run differential is like +57.

I am not seeing any new roster transactions as of this morning, but my guess is that they are close to making the call to bring him up.

Would really like a win tonight to get us to 6-4 for our first 10 games. It's a meaningless benchmark but would still feel good.

Unfortunately we have a rough pitching matchup according to the ESPN projected starters. Greinke vs. Heaney.

Greinke so far has 2 starts and only given up 3 ER in 11.1 innings pitched. On the bright side KC can't seem to score when he pitches and were shutout in both games.

The key would be to hit close stadiums in one day.

If you could hit Az, then SD the next day... then Anaheim+Dodgers... then SF+Oak, you could do some driving.

The hard part with the West coast is Seattle and Colorado. I could see flying into Colorado, then to Az with a one-way car rental. Drive PCH to Seattle, then fly out to your next stop.

Hitting all the following to align would be insane for doubleheaders:
LAD+LAA
SF+Oak
CHC+CWS
NYY+NYM

You basically have to start or end at Seattle. Work your way down California, Phoenix, long drive to Denver, then you have options. Either Kansas city->midwest->east coast->Texas or denver->texas-> st Louis or atlanta

I've got Greinke starting in my FBB league tonight, so the Rangers should hit around in the 1st Inning.

No idea on Taveras, is he eligible to come off the IL today? I did just see this, but no mention of Taveras:

And they also just posted the lineup for tonight, both Thompson and Jankowski are playing, so neither of them are getting sent down:

Not sent down or DFA'd yet. When Leody does get the call in a day or two they will have to decide on who they want to keep because I find it hard to believe that they will carry five outfielders, although Thompson is an absolute weapon with his speed so he's worth keeping just from that perspective. Thompson's speed is so elite it makes me think he should be the ever day CF and just live with what he gives you on offense.

Bubba has options, so the smart move would be to send him down. But he's making it awfully hard on the Rangers to do so.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Taveras spend some time at AAA to get more ABs.

Cory Blaser behind the plate tonight. Prepare yourself for his ginirmous strike zone and a 2 hour game.

Here's his last game.

that's not good with Greinke pitching tonight. He already likes to work the edges and is more of a "crafty" type pitcher now that he is towards the back end of his career.

I saw a clip on TikTok earlier of Wash getting ejected after Nellie got picked off and Pettis was going after Angel Hernandez. I noticed our red hats had a blue button on top. I kinda wish they still did.
