about is Shane BOS will be starting his
1:06
fourth MLB start and first in the
1:11
postseason for the ray he's a rookie and
1:14
he's going to be pitching in his first
1:17
postseason outing just like the pitcher
1:19
last night a lot of rookies on this team
1:22
which is kind of fascinating on how well
1:24
they are doing one of the best teams in
1:26
baseball if not the best they are on a
1:29
roll and as I'm walking in it seems to
1:31
be some royalty walking in over there
1:35
yeah check
1:43
out and I got the towel got another
1:43
towel
1:44
tonight now talking to a few of the
1:46
employees and the ushers they are saying
1:48
there are going to be more people here
1:49
tonight on Friday night as a recording
1:51
of this than it was last night on
1:53
Thursday night and last night was pretty
1:55
full but there's going to be 5 or 6,000
1:57
more people so there's not going to be a
1:59
whole lot of empty seats this evening
2:00
also batting practice is taking place
2:03
Red Sox are out here kind of getting
2:04
their their swings in out on the field
2:07
they Red Sox were last night they were
2:08
doing batting practice as well so red
2:10
Red Sox's doing batting practice two
2:11
nights in a row and I've opted to go
2:14
ahead and get myself a hot dog before
2:16
things start to get a little too wild
2:19
and there seems to be someone over here
2:21
wearing oh wait you're wearing Cardinals
2:24
gear St Louis where are we we're not in
2:27
St Louis so the team that you're usually
2:30
follow is out of the playoff picture
2:33
yeah so who are you going to root for
2:35
today the Rays of course all right okay
2:37
yeah why not the Red Sox because 2004
2:41
every Cardinal knows what happens in
2:43
2004 what happened I'm not a cardinal
2:46
they lost Big Time against the Red Sox
2:50
and they broke the curse okay against
2:52
the Cardinals which I will never forgive
2:54
follow the dog all right you want this
2:57
don't you oh check out right Raymond

involving him then they playing the Blue
6:45
Jays and they hit him with a pitch Blue
6:47
Jays did not make it in the playoffs
6:49
postseason I was thinking if it was Blue
6:51
Jays here tonight against them it would
6:53
be even more intense than this oh oh

8:00
I like that you're rooting for the raise
8:02
though so it works out you should get
8:04
like a a raise like something just a I
8:08
want to get like a
8:09
patch patch

my Red Sox just hit a home run it's now
8:19
five to three and into the third inning
8:21
BOS has already been pulled out as he

makes his way over of course they check
8:25
the hat and the glov they started doing
8:26
that this season BOS has already been
8:28

16:57
Boston that was the hit needed a score
16:59
and they got
17:01
it right down the first Baseline N9 to
17:05
five n not only is it a way to make a
17:08
living but also score of this
17:20
happen I always notice how Randy never
17:20
is in the batting box it's always
17:22
directly behind home
17:28
plate always it's like you're really
17:28
kind of like eyeballs the pitcher gets a
17:30
good view of the
17:31
pitcher that's why that's why a lot of
17:33
batters will not stand in the in the
17:36
warm-up Circle that's what I should be
17:37
saying warmup Circle not batter box
17:40
batter batter box is where where km
17:44
is another home run for the Red
17:48
Sox another home
17:51
run well C
17:59
not
18:15
good do definitely a very talkative
18:15
group behind me and this is the point
18:17
when you start to see a lot of people
18:19
starting to head out already kind of
18:21
losing hope I always stay till the end
18:24
yeah people are starting to leave two
18:26
outs there in the eaz up to the play
18:30
G
18:31
man
18:40
on again people behind me having a
18:40
riveting conversation not about the
18:48
game oh watch out watch out watch out
18:48
and into the ninth inning you see how
18:49
many people are now starting to
18:56
leave
18:56
t-shirt never great seat fantastic dream
19:00
SE um no when
19:36
that explains the silence right
19:36
there it's not their night not their
19:38
night can't wi
19:41
B at least the seats are good the seats
19:43
are
19:45
great put your hat back on hey what' you
19:49
do you did a
20:08
like
20:08
thrown they're just widening the lead
20:12
they're just rubbing it in
20:13
now
20:16
man this is hard to
20:19
watch but at least we're watching it
20:21
from a really good Seas at least we're
20:22
watching it from got there you go at
20:24
least at least we're watching it from
20:26
here
20:34
and the group that was behind us has
20:34
left i' would say probably a quarter of
20:38
this entire stadium has already tight
20:40
tailed it I'm staying to the end you
20:43
never know 12 to six Red Sox have two
20:47
other runners in scoring position are
20:48
still up the
20:51
plate there could be a
20:53
chance oh that's a high
21:02
I I don't think enough people have been
21:02
flopping these
21:04
around there was definitely a lot more
21:06
of those last night yep we need to have
21:08
more of these get them going guys get
21:09
them going come on get them going get
21:12
them
21:18
going no one else in the entire stadium
21:18
is waving theirs
21:20
oh we were the only
21:23
ones actually no there's a there's
21:26
actually a lady lady to the side of us
21:28
try to get home
21:37
oh got it got him a little
21:37
souvenir all
21:55
right that will be 14 just in case you
21:58
foret how baseball was played the Red
22:01
Sox are giving an education right
22:04
now and a little meeting over here up I
22:07
think another pitcher is about to go out
22:09
come out come in or out needless to say
22:11
probably will not see a wave happening
22:13
right now during this time during this
22:16
time
22:26
frame oh foul ball Gman was going for it
22:36
R it that's it that's the game that's G
22:36
Red Sox Che now there is an old saying
22:39
you can't win them all not that I was
22:41
the one you know I wasn't the one on the
22:43
field I wasn't the one on home plate or
22:45
up on the mount I wasn't playing the
22:47
game I was witnessing from the comfort
22:48
of my own seats but it's just a saying
22:51
those who you are rooting for they do
22:54
not win them all and that did that did
22:56
not happen tonight luckily this is a
22:57
best of five series best I could really
23:00
kind of tell is they go to finway and
23:02
Rays win one of those two even if they
23:05
split it down the middle 50/50 they come
23:08
back here for game five of the best of
23:11
Five series and the Rays could possibly
23:13
I am hoping win it at home for
23:17
underneath the Tropicana Field Dome and
23:20
in front of all those who are here to
23:21
support them that would be best case
23:23
scenario granted the ray could win both
23:25
games at finway and just pull it through
23:27
that way and that would work as well
23:29
time will tell every game is different
23:30
every you know every situation changes
23:34
and you can't win them all and that's
23:36
going to do it for today from Tropicana
23:38
Field here in St Petersburg Florida the
23:42
Tampa Bay Rays have been bested from
23:45
game two of the ALDS the American League
23:49
Division Series best of five great seats
23:53
it worked out actually I was going to be
23:54
sitting in seats in a different area and
23:57
at the last minute I checked the tickets
23:59
and there were seats available they
24:01
popped up and I splurged a little bit
24:03
and went ahead and purchased them moved
24:05
down right before first pitch it was
24:07
awesome was it I will remember this for
24:11
a while sitting behind home plate in a
24:13
postseason game was kind of kind of
24:16
something I always wanted to do so I
24:18
said heck it and did it I'll see you in
24:19
the next video the Vlog is over
