1:13
Jake I've never been here this is going
1:14
to be knocking off another stadium for
1:16
me watching the Rays play their
1:18
opponents join me
1:21
now this is a 1207 so seven minutes
1:25
afternoon
1:26
first pitch so just right after the cusp
1:29
of Noonie see right over there in the
1:31
distance of Progressive Field they have
1:32
the lights on because it's very overcast
1:34
here during the day before you sign off
1:36
of that shot the shot that you had when
1:39
you started yeah it was the battle uh
1:41
from The Avengers oh no kidding so this
1:45
building or the one way down there the
1:47
big tall building the entire area oh it
1:49
was in The Avengers that's where they
1:51
had uh the team got together and uh
1:54
bought the okay all right now parking
1:57
down here sixty dollars
2:01
I'm not sure if they were laughing at me
2:03
or laughing we actually got a hotel
2:06
within walking distance to here though
2:09
have to pay the parking we have to pay
2:10
the hotel fee but yeah now Ryan was just
2:13
informing me over here Alice Cooper the
2:15
rock star used to have a place called
2:17
what was it called Atlas Cooperstown
2:19
Alice Cooperstown
2:20
but it didn't last also I'm kind of
2:23
wondering if I am gonna I'll probably be
2:25
one of the two percent of people maybe
2:27
not even two percent probably like point
2:28
five percent of people in here wearing
2:30
anything Tampa Bay
2:33
it's kind of
2:35
oh
2:41
I just got a nephew I just got a nephew
2:41
from that person driving now I went to a
2:43
lot of regular season away games rooting
2:45
for the race this is my first post
2:47
season in and Away Stadium
2:50
and I think the vibe is going to be
2:52
awesome
2:54
I'm looking forward to getting a little
2:55
Flack
2:57
from the opposing team fans that are
2:59
here
3:01
I have been waiting for the postseason
3:02
all year all right I have spotted my
3:05
first Tampa Bay cap
3:07
in front of the line up there
3:12
I want to walk around a little bit
3:12
though too let's do it there's plenty
3:15
a lot of the history here I've heard
3:17
good things about this there's my shadow
3:19
in here Ryan Shadowood here heard good
3:21
things about the stadium with all the
3:22
history that's here
3:27
standing in front
3:27
hopefully it does not rain I've heard
3:30
rain delays here can be rather extensive
3:36
another player over here number five I
3:36
do love how a lot of baseball stadiums
3:39
have their Hometown Heroes out in front
3:43
how many games have you been to at the
3:45
stadium
3:45
oh dozens dozens of them never a
3:48
postseason a couple postseasons I'm
3:51
never one of the ones that would either
3:52
bring them to the next level or
3:54
unlimited there it is up there 2022 Wild
3:58
Card Tampa Bay versus Cleveland Tampa
4:01
Bay Rays TV
4:03
dude look up top they still have oh
4:06
never mind it says guard because they
4:07
didn't get the top it's in the Indian
4:09
spawn Tower that's what it is we're
4:11
gonna we're gonna do a lap now I'm
4:12
noticing the weather's kind of crisp and
4:13
cool but there still are some people
4:16
selling bootleg merch or some across the
4:17
street there underneath that kind of
4:19
historic
4:20
Gothic looking Archway and here is a
4:23
general layout of the land if you will
4:27
so we were where oh we are we're here
4:29
right now
4:30
so we've walked around to let's see this
4:32
would be the
4:35
right field first base side more or less
4:37
is where we're standing
4:39
Progressive Field the signage right
4:41
there
4:43
kind of see it peaking
4:45
through the foliage
4:48
I believe doors open two hours before I
4:50
thought maybe for the postseason to be a
4:52
little earlier but it is just about two
4:53
hours prior gonna head in an
4:56
announcement is being made
4:58
welcoming
5:00
people
5:07
gates are open
5:13
I'm gonna walk over here to the bridge
5:13
though and show why this team has been
5:14
recalled oh there's a train whistle
5:17
that's inside the stadium all right my
5:19
prediction before the game I want to
5:21
predict what the score will be I think
5:22
it's going to be five to one give or
5:24
take a run or so razor gonna win Shane
5:27
McClanahan who pitched in the All-Star
5:30
game at the middle of the Season taking
5:32
the mound
5:33
I think it's going to be five to one I
5:35
think the rays are going to kind of
5:36
ignite the bats and they are going to
5:37
pull away with a decent size lead
5:40
leaving Cleveland with only one run that
5:44
could be completely wrong if I just want
5:45
to make that statement before heading
5:47
inside
5:53
this is also a best of three series
5:53
first one to win two games there's a
5:56
game today game tomorrow and if
5:57
necessary Sunday for game three
5:59
talk all right I had to zoom way in but
6:02
those two pillars going over this bridge
6:03
there are two Guardians on either side I
6:07
think it's a sign up here it looks like
6:08
Cleveland was American League champions
6:10
back in 2016. we are walking through the
6:13
infield District now inside the merch
6:16
Booth remember well the merch stand here
6:18
this is going to be the Guardians
6:19
starting pitcher today so it's going to
6:21
be Bieber versus McClanahan and getting
6:23
here getting inside the stadium you know
6:24
almost two hours and 45 minutes before
6:26
first pitch starting to fill up a little
6:28
bit and some of the players are out on
6:29
the field kind of warming up for both
6:31
teams and definitely can already tell me
6:33
this this obviously this is the razor
6:34
waste away game so there's not going to
6:36
be a lot of people over here in Tampa
6:37
Bay Rays blue it's going to be a sea of
6:39
red here today and I'll be one of the
6:41
few rooting for the rice but I'm sitting
6:43
on right behind the raised Dugout kind
6:44
of sorta so it should kind of be in with
6:47
other other people here rooting for the
6:49
rice now Ryan was telling me that a big
6:52
kind of local thing here is the special
6:53
ballpark mustard so at some point I'm
6:55
gonna get a hot dog today to get some
6:57
ballpark mustard and this is a out in
7:00
center field this this gift shop here
7:02
this team store they call it all right
7:04
it is now 10 40. Stadium's starting to
7:06
fill up a little bit but it's not
7:07
definitely not incredibly passed I'm
7:09
kind of wondering if it's going to be a
7:10
full house or if it's going to be half
7:12
empty it's kind of hard to tell on a
7:13
Friday at noon some people are still at
7:16
work I wonder people will kind of show
7:17
up for the tribe just kind of see what
7:19
happens so it's still it's 10 41 right
7:21
now as I'm kind of panning around and
7:23
walking around doing the full loop Grand
7:25
Circle Tour here at Progressive Field
7:26
and first pitch is at 1207 so still
7:29
about an hour and a half till first
7:30
bench now since this is Progressive
7:32
Field they have some lockers here home
7:35
field protection and they have are they
7:38
free lockers
7:39
they're probably not are they free like
7:40
okay free storage free storage oh very
7:43
nice and also some of these are not
7:45
working so instead of saying just a
7:47
normal this is down for maintenance they
7:49
put strike so we got strike one strike
7:52
two oh the free charging cables in there
7:54
and with one hour till first pitch I got
7:56
Jason Adam walking by he was one of my
7:58
favorite relievers him and Pete
7:59
Fairbanks those are probably the two
8:01
that are my favorite relief pitchers
8:02
also here's a it's one hour before first
8:04
just a little after 11 now and
8:07
you can see they're still starting to
8:08
get the the field already players are
8:10
making their way over to the Dugout and
8:12
probably going to be McClanahan might
8:14
start warming up pretty soon over in the
8:15
bullpen so I'm gonna kind of head over
8:18
as well
8:19
it definitely appears as if the stadium
8:22
is filling up more than I kind of expect
8:24
I thought maybe people wouldn't be like
8:25
with the weather how it is and being you
8:28
know Friday at noon but the stadium
8:30
wouldn't be full but now I'm kind of
8:31
thinking they're going to be definitely
8:33
going to be a decent sized crowd I don't
8:35
think it's gonna be a capacity but it's
8:36
definitely going to be a decent sized
8:37
crowd I think and I should also mention
8:39
this is a Pepsi town I actually got some
8:40
Mountain Dew here gonna head over the
8:42
bullpen see if McClanahan is warming up
8:44
but also they take cash here where the
8:46
trop is cashless if they take cash and
8:48
credit cards here now less than a half
8:50
hour until first Bishop mcclanahan's out
8:53
there warming up we're going to be
8:55
heading over the bullpen soon now Ryan
8:56
was telling me a minute ago the guys on
8:58
top of the roof over there on that kind
8:59
of I guess that's a parking structure
9:00
they have fireworks set up so if
9:02
Cleveland hits a home run fireworks will
9:04
go off the top of that kind of mid route
9:05
and it looks like bethancourt is going
9:07
to be behind home plate playing catcher
9:09
today I haven't checked the starting
9:10
lineup yet but yeah the Bethany Court
9:11
over here and the bullpen kind of
9:13
starting to warm up
9:15
Bieber is going to be on the mound for
9:17
the Guardians so it's kind of a battle
9:19
of the pitchers today
9:25
all right I'm looking at the race
9:25
starting lineup I like it Yandy leading
9:28
off and wander Randy rosarina served
9:30
Ramirez definitely G Manson Margot Manny
9:34
Margo ahead nothing Court behind the
9:36
play Taylor walls is a surprising and
9:39
Jose Siri as well that's probably some
9:42
penetrating and stuff but yeah they're
9:43
showing the pitching match of course
9:45
there's no stats up there because this
9:46
is going to be a stats for the day not
9:48
their career it's my plan of hand versus
9:50
a beaver
9:56
everyone's cheering for Beaver but Saint
9:56
mcclanahan's making his way some call
9:58
him Sugar Shame
10:16
yeah Shane warming up in the bullpen
10:16
getting the arm loose a little cool and
10:18
crisp out here got to keep the arm loose
10:20
getting ready to start heading over
10:21
after the Washington warm up a little
10:23
bit and then head back over to our seats
10:24
and you know grab our seats and get in
10:26
prepared for the first pitch thank you
10:35
it's game time
10:35
oh it's the fireworks game time
10:43
all right I think I might be the only
10:46
person up here wearing anything Tampa
10:50
Ray Ray is in this area the only one
10:53
look at this let's see your friend and
10:55
Yandy Diaz taking the plate first one up
10:58
first pitch about to begin
11:02
foreign
11:14
I'm gonna try to butt first pitch of fun
11:14
and Yandy Diaz with the air went past
11:17
him at third
11:20
guardian's got a guy struck
11:40
all right before it starts getting too
11:40
deep into the game I'm gonna go ahead
11:41
and get a hot dog here from ballpark
11:43
Classics it's kind of just above where
11:46
receiving air was setting up the razor
11:48
up right now
12:00
we kind of decided
12:07
again also you gotta you purchased a new
12:07
cap they've decided to kind of load up
12:09
on the stack that way we don't have to
12:11
get up again because you have to wait a
12:13
while we've already just kind of a half
12:14
minutes
12:15
so I'm just gonna get hot dog peanuts
12:17
and nachos
12:24
you gonna get I'm just gonna get a big
12:24
cup of Frisco and a wood
12:40
that's it got out of that one that was I
12:40
got a little hairy all right that took
12:42
an exorbitant amount of time probably
12:43
the most like probably ending and a half
12:45
but I'm now trying finally trying the
12:47
Bert's original ballpark mustard here on
12:50
my dog
12:52
also still tied
12:55
but the guardian's got a man on first
12:57
and second
12:59
very tight quarters over in here
13:02
I'm excited to finally try this
13:09
and with the raise back up still tied
13:09
going into the top of the fifth now this
13:12
is my second hot dog because I was gonna
13:13
get nachos and cheese and they were out
13:15
of it and I must say the mustard is
13:17
amazing I don't know if it's definitely
13:19
better than regular mustard but I think
13:21
I don't know it's kind of tied with like
13:23
a hot mustard kind of a hot mustard but
13:25
I really like the way they kind of Char
13:27
Char Char Grill the dogs
13:31
pretty dang good maybe one of the best
13:34
hot dogs I've had but maybe Chicago is
13:36
probably number one oh that's a base hit
13:38
Daryl
13:41
oh it's a problem
13:43
yeah notice like how tall the left field
13:46
wall is out there it's like a miniature
13:48
green monster here
13:56
I want that third strike third out to
13:56
the top of the fifth here out on their
13:59
feet
14:00
oh almost a wild head
14:04
that's a hot dog Derby race by 2022
14:08
champion
14:16
his Mantra is much smarter than that
14:16
partner if you're not cheating you're
14:18
not trying they are doing a hot dog race
14:20
so they got the Hot Dogs coming out to
14:23
race along the warning track it's pretty
14:27
freaking cool it's almost like they do
14:28
at the drop with DJ Kitty and Raymond
14:30
and the soccer mascot but this is with
14:32
the hot dogs pretty freaking cool hot
14:36
dogs Sugardale hot dogs
14:39
oh yeah Siri just hit a home run
14:43
it is one nothing raise
14:48
this place went quiet
14:50
sweet
15:06
for Tampa Bay The lead-off Hitter and
15:06
there are people sitting pretty much in
15:08
every seat even out in the Outfield a
15:09
lot of good seats here but the best seat
15:11
is this little bird right here this
15:12
perch right there
15:14
see that bird right there has a great
15:17
great View
15:34
no two run Homer for Cleveland now two
15:34
to one
15:37
I'm not sure what's going on but cash
15:39
has come out Kevin cash has come out
15:42
talked to the up looks like they might
15:44
be challenging the Home Run maybe saying
15:47
it's a ground rule double
15:52
cash and the Rays want to challenge us
15:52
as a ground rule daughter I'm kind of
15:53
curious to see what this call is going
15:55
to be it's either this this crowd is
15:56
going to be really ticked off or really
15:59
really
16:01
happy and here's the announcement
16:08
it is
16:08
a two-run homer
16:14
this place is going nuts all right now
16:18
seventh inning stretch just ended so
16:20
it's now the bottom of the seventh and I
16:22
am kind of surprised mcclanahan's still
16:24
on the mound mound in yeah
16:28
bottom of the seventh
16:30
nice view of the skyscrapers up there
16:33
there really is the whole house here all
16:37
the way up to the upper deck
16:47
into the eighth
16:47
beavers still on the mound for the
16:49
Guardians in the eighth
16:52
neighbor's on fire
16:54
Beaver is on fire looks like the rays
16:57
are gonna pinch hit Paradis there's a
17:01
little pinch hit action with two outs
17:03
here in the top of the eight for babies
17:06
is now coming up even the hot dog
17:08
mustard way out there is in the Outfield
17:11
oh yeah base hit
17:13
that's it he sock
17:20
and just like that Bieber's coming out
17:20
an incredible game into the eighth
17:24
dominating this has been a pitching
17:26
matchup I gotta say Bieber impressive
17:30
most impressive no one really
17:40
he's trying to steal he's safe
17:50
in the eighth
17:50
Siri at the plate through hot at second
17:57
oh is it gonna die come on broken bat
18:04
dang it and in the bottom of the eight
18:07
Clevenger is on the mountain I was a
18:08
reliever it's kind of kind of surprising
18:10
choice
18:18
thankfully the weather has cooperated
18:20
and hasn't been no rain delays even
18:22
though it's very overcast
18:23
just need one more strike to get out of
18:25
this and get to the top of the knife and
18:27
hopefully a raised rally
18:35
it's always amusing when a pitcher gets
18:35
booed for doing his job all right three
18:37
outs for the race to take this this
18:39
would be this would be a he'll want to
18:40
play we got Yandy we got wander and then
18:43
Randy up I was on the Rays coaching
18:46
staff I was Kevin cash this is exactly
18:49
how I want the order to go down
18:59
the knife all right I predicted five to
18:59
one looks like I was kind of wrong on
19:00
that one
19:15
no doubt about it this is intense
19:20
I got faith in you Randy
19:23
I got faith anybody
19:32
that's gonna do it
19:32
praiseless
19:40
Guardians win game one
19:40
Guardians win game wide and now with the
19:43
game over check out everyone walking
19:44
across the bridge that has the Guardians
19:46
the namesake of
19:48
the new team name
19:50
I say that was pretty disappointing but
19:54
all in all I mean I did predict five to
19:55
one but all in all boat teams the Rays
19:58
and the guardian is pretty equal
20:01
as far as you know talent wise it's more
20:03
of a kind of a small ball team it's not
20:05
a lot of Home Run hitters even though
20:06
the Home Run was one on a 2-1 Homer by
20:09
the Guardians and they only run the Rays
20:10
got in was off a home run but usually
20:13
not a lot of power hitters on either
20:14
team it's usually a lot of you know just
20:16
a lot of good baseball definitely a
20:18
great game I wish the team I was rooting
20:20
for would have won but it's only the
20:22
first of three games and this was the
20:24
guy that drove it home for the Guardians
20:28
Jose Ramirez with his two-run Homer it's
20:31
funny but both home runs
20:33
were both Jose's on both teams Jose Siri
20:38
hit a one run out to the center that's a
20:41
right center pretty much dead center and
20:44
so did Jose series and this was the
20:46
starting pitcher for the Guardians Shane
20:48
Bieber and also another shame
20:51
for the Rays was on the mountain Shane
20:53
McClanahan
20:55
someone just uh take the L is that what
20:57
he said I think it was cool oh hold the
20:59
owl I thought I was talking about a
21:00
train the L train and of course that's
21:01
gonna do it for today was flooring Ryan
21:04
yes you did not say your prediction at
21:06
the beginning you said three to two
21:08
three in your video yep I said five to
21:10
one you were more correct did you pick
21:12
the guardian yesterday I did so you're
21:14
pretty close it ended up being two to
21:16
one not three to one no
21:19
ended up being two to one not three or
21:21
two you're pretty close I gave it to the
21:22
tribe because home field advantage
21:24
truthfully they were they were very
21:25
evenly matched in my opinion I think
21:27
they're two they're pretty much very
21:29
identical in a lot of ways yeah this
21:32
could have gone either way very quick
21:33
it's going to be very difficult for the
21:35
Rays to come back and win the next two
21:37
as opposed to just they would have won
21:39
the first one I kind of had High Hopes
21:41
with McClanahan on the battle but
21:43
anything's possible absolutely and even
21:46
if the Rays lose tomorrow or they don't
21:48
win a series at least I ended up going
21:52
to the last the last games of the season
21:53
in the stadium that you've said that you
21:56
wanted to check out for a while I wanted
21:57
to check out for a long time so where's
21:59
best case scenario the Rays end up
22:01
winning the next two go back home and
22:03
Tropicana to face the Yankees again
22:05
three and four of the ALDS but if they
22:07
lose then you and I would have witnessed
22:11
opening day of the race at Tropicana
22:13
Field and the last game here in
22:17
Cleveland we book into the season I
22:19
think I probably just spoil the fact
22:21
that we're going to be here for the
22:22
series so there's that I'm gonna pepper
22:25
and some other stuff around Cleveland
22:27
more more power to them yeah but anyway
22:29
that's gonna do it for today for me
22:31
scoring Ryan here in Cleveland we'll see
22:34
in the next video Vlog
22:37
but I am still crossing my fingers at
22:40
the raise win the next two games and it
22:41
does go to a series of three but if it
22:43
doesn't still enjoyed another awesome
22:47
stadium really had fun tonight even
22:50
though the Rays lost I had a lot of fun
