0:16
we have been able to watch the rays play
0:20
a baseball game we were here two weeks

0:25
the players reported practice but there
0:27

0:41
rose arena on my wander boy juan de

franco all right and hats got the ball

0:50
training game i attend this year yeah
0:53
probably myself too but then the regular
0:55
season starts there back up at the
0:56
trough in st petersburg and seeing the
0:59
rays in florida not in a dome
1:01
is kind of an experience all its own
1:03
that i've never
1:04
partaken of that makes uh a mix too yeah
1:07
i've never seen them outside like
1:09
playing
1:11
we're gonna do it in florida yeah we're
1:13
gonna do it
1:14
i'm inviting you to join me and tampa
1:16
jay
1:17
give me put me on the board there you go
1:19
you got it all right go go go get me on
1:21
the board
1:22
he got it
1:24
that was anti-climactic shall you it's
1:27
just a few minutes before 11 a.m first
1:29
pitch is just after one we had pretty
1:31
good seats right behind home plate and
1:33
by the raised dugout also the rays are
1:35
going up against the world series
1:37
champions atlanta braves which i happen
1:40
to go see the braves in the world series
1:43
last year on halloween night with my
1:45
uncle
1:46
who is a been following the braves his
1:48
entire life so it's kind of see
1:49
neat to see his excitement so i will be
1:51
watching
1:52
the world champion braves last year
1:55
versus the race
1:57
rooting for the race
1:58
where your shoes are my shoes are untied
2:01
no do you have braves shoes oh brave
2:04
collars
2:05
i see what you did there
2:07
that was all on accident you're kind of
2:09
like two percent brave starting at the
2:11
feet she just called me disrespectful oh
2:13
see she called you out whoever that was
2:15
we're gonna be sitting where are we
2:16
gonna be sitting right
2:18
i think we're in 107
2:21
on the first row
2:22
so we should be able to get a good view
2:24
of home plate the whole field and the
2:27
raised players over in the dugout that's
2:29
legit right there we're right there i
2:31
think 107 we might be in 106 but i think
2:33
we're in 107 first row and just
2:35
realizing at 10 51 precisely gates are
2:38
not open yet for a 105 first pitch so it
2:41
must be two hours before so i'm guessing
2:42
probably 11 0
2:44
5
2:44
the gates will open so we're just going
2:46
to meander around until the gates open
3:04
now they do have one or two ticket
3:04
booths open however i ended up getting a
3:06
ticket online so i have a qr code to
3:08
show
3:09
show in this chair and i also want to
3:10
show the rest of the spring training
3:12
games are listed over here of course
3:14
today as a recording of this sunday the
3:16
27th 105 first pitch against atlanta and
3:21
yeah this will be the only spring
3:22
training game i go to before the regular
3:23
season starts i think one's good and
3:25
then a lot of regular season games
3:28
as well across the country and at
3:29
tropicana they're making an announcement
3:31
there are three different entrants
3:33
there's one up front here one on the
3:35
first base side and one on the third
3:36
base side guess like gates are just
3:38
about to open i think an hour it wasn't
3:40
two hours before things can end up being
3:41
an hour and a half before first pitch
3:43
all right walking in they're also giving
3:45
out this handout here at charlotte
3:47
county they're celebrating the
3:48
centennial down here as well now i do
3:49
want to walk back over to the team store
3:51
a little bit later which is open but i
3:53
want to see what's going on on the field
3:55
right now see if they're doing any
3:56
batting practice but we're in yeah it
3:57
doesn't look as if well i'm kind of
3:59
waiting for the flags to be going here
4:01
the wind's starting to pick up and the
4:02
flags are
4:04
blowing in the wind it doesn't appear as
4:06
if spring it doesn't appear as if
4:08
batting practice
4:09

4:11
ground crews already out taking care of
4:13
business
4:14
shout out to the grounds crew getting
4:16

4:22
margot
4:24
josh lowe
4:25
healey
4:26
oh brett phillips nice got phillips in
4:28
the game today don't see a rosarina in
4:30
there
4:31
anywhere or kierman i think kier meyer
4:33
is actually injured for a couple games
4:35
but yeah some some notable names that
4:37
i'm excited to see especially brett
4:38
phillips right down here so we'll not be
4:40
seeing kier meyer behind the plate or on
4:43
the field today i mean he might be in
4:44
the dugout but now i'm finally going to
4:46
go inside the gift shop now
4:49
and see if i can see if there's any
4:51
merchandise in here
4:53
that i might need now the seats i have
4:55
are directly in the sun i did bring my
4:57
ball cap i'm thinking maybe of getting
5:00
this just to keep the sun off my neck
5:03
i might end up having to get that
5:05
this is 25 i like this it has the devil
5:08
raise the old double raise logo on it
5:11
now looking at this you can see
5:12
tropicana fields down here where it says
5:15
tampa bay rays but this is showing some
5:17
of the ballparks all across the u.s
5:18
which i am planning on going to quite a
5:20
few away games for the rays at different
5:22
bar parks around the country this year
5:24
and this brings back some memories from
5:26
me and you tampa j because we were at
5:27
wander's first game where he hit the
5:29
home run yes we were and he he has
5:31
signed that oh there's a photo of that
5:33
there's a photo of that what was that
5:35
june 22nd 2021 we were at that game
5:38
sitting on the first base line when he
5:39
hit the the first time look at that
5:40
right there home run a double and three
5:43
rbis and he has signed what a 10-year
5:45
contract now with the raise i think it's
5:46
12 12 years so he's going to be around
5:48
for quite a while which is good and of
5:51
course randy another great player i like
5:53
this guy a lot too these guys are really
5:55
going to carry this team
5:56
and clearly i am up the only one with
5:58
the same idea to buy merchandise the
5:59
line in here is pretty lengthy and
6:02
getting the opportunity to see the
6:03
starting pitcher for the day yarborough
6:05
warming up over here in the bullpen kind
6:06
of looking down on him warming up his
6:08
arm preparing and the players starting
6:10
to make their way onto the field you see
6:11
a lot of people down the first place of
6:13
line are lined up as well try to get
6:15
some autographs from some of the players
6:16
but it's all almost game in fact check
6:19
out over here that raymond has appeared
6:21
still no it's still no view of dj kitty
6:23
but here's raymond up here on field
6:25
level hyping up the crowd good to see
6:27
raymond i'm just on the lookout for dj
6:29
kitty
6:30
who knows if he's here oh goodness look
6:32
at here's here's hooty
6:34
right there there's hootie hello hoodie
6:37
good to see you all right hooty has a
6:39
rock still no still no dj kitty though
6:41
but hooties here all right and these
6:43
seats
6:44
okay for you two water
6:53
and this is kind of the look i'm going
6:53
for i got my ball cap under here and i
6:55
got this cap and i got my sunglasses
6:58
then i have the one pillowcase here and
7:01
then the other pillowcase stuffed into
7:02
the cabinet
7:04
to protect myself from the sunrise
7:07
i think it's going to work out pretty
7:09
well i think it's going to work out
7:10
pretty well
7:12
then again my arms might get
7:14
burned fine
7:16
that's fine though why is my neck's okay
7:37
this is pretty dang cool being this
7:37
close to the players there's marco here
7:39
on the on deck circle
7:41
in between innings raymond was kind of
7:42
throwing out some baseballs on top of
7:44
the the ray's
7:45
dugout yeah raymond was kind of throwing
7:47
some balls to people
7:50
it was pretty neat how people caught him
7:52
too like firstly throwing up into the
7:53
stands and then throwing right behind
7:55
almost kind of behind how people sit
7:56
behind home plate i didn't get one
7:58
because i'm kind of behind some netting
8:12
oh second now yeah i gotta say it's
8:12
pretty dang cool having brett phillips
8:14
one of my favorite players on the race
8:16
just so close right here
8:26
he has pretty much coined the phrase
8:28
baseball is fun in fact he has t-shirts
8:30
to say that
8:35
oh there it is look at that
8:37
okay yarbrough's still in
8:40
third inning bro still he's trying to
8:42
talk talk to the catcher though
8:50
oh
8:51
i think he's got that centerpiece
9:03
would be a good name for a song the bunt
9:03
that went foul
9:04
or a band name that's a good degree
9:10
he tried bunny but now he's got to go
9:10
all the way back
9:12
the long walk of shame
9:14
back to home plate
9:16
he really is taking his time
9:19
not real no rush
9:21
no rush
9:27
i guess
9:27
yeah i gotta say i'm really liking
9:28
yarborough
9:30
today on the mound
9:34
got it
9:34
all right i'm batting lefty brett
9:36
phillips up now up go in the butt
9:38
there you go
9:41
nice try though
9:44
got it last year at the trap you
9:45
remember that time that brett signs your
9:46
glove yeah it was awesome up a can of
9:48
field i was like sign my glove you got
9:50
to add something else to that glove yeah
9:51
i gotta get some more cinnamon i need to
9:52
get randy on there
9:54
yeah i'd like to get troy brandon
9:57
all of them yeah i got plenty of room
9:59
it's a big glove
10:00
you don't need the glove today though
10:02
yeah we got
10:08
once it comes like right over i mean
10:08
there's brandon right there if he wasn't
10:09
busy he could sign her up
10:12
already into the fourth inning
10:14
still no score but the game's moving
10:16
right along
10:30
check out raymond up there looking very
10:30
dapper in his gold outfit
10:34
look at that
10:36
oh yeah he's putting he's put a
10:38
fancy jacket on
10:40
walking around up there and we have a
10:41
pitching change yarborough's exiting the
10:44
mountain now after three good three and
10:46
a half good innings of
10:49
gameplay
10:51
and now blair is on the mound
10:54
and first pitch from blair
10:57
to the outfield
10:59
got it and once again raymond
11:01
entertaining the crowd this time with
11:03
his someone caught by me
11:05
entertaining the crowd with a very
11:06
snazzy suit doing a little dance on top
11:08
of the raised dugout
11:10
as well yeah raymond is in full effect
11:12
today and with austin meadows on deck
11:14
doing a little warm up there
11:17
got zunino the catcher behind the plate
11:19
that's a strike shucking up how you
11:20
doing heat wise how are you doing with
11:22
shading yourself from the side it's
11:24
actually working adam i don't know why
11:25
but the pillowcase is working it's all
11:27
about the pillow it's all about the case
11:29
it's all about the pillow what have you
11:31
said i look like who
11:33
uh we can with bernie's like weekend
11:34
advertising yeah you look like bernie
11:36
but we can uh adams
11:45
i remember this for future day games
11:45
this is why i love tropicana field
11:47
it's shade
11:48
all the time
11:50
and no rain to lies
11:51
yeah you can't complain about that
12:11
for team drop oh
12:11
and just like phillips was batting
12:13
awesome meadows also left-handed
12:16
down the right side
12:22
looks like kevin cash is over there
12:22
doing an interview during the game yeah
12:25
he's like talking on the little
12:26
walkie-talkie set
12:28
right there there's kevin cash or he
12:30
might be talking to the bullpen he might
12:31
be i think it's probably a tv interview
12:33
they probably zoomed in on from the
12:35
outfield
12:36
the neat thing is we are so close look
12:38
at this microphone everything i'm
12:39
whispering it could probably be ending
12:42
up on live spring training tv
12:45
the interesting thing about this stadium
12:48
is that only credit cards are accepted
12:50
for
13:05
that is interesting they've banned their
13:05
coach
13:11
i'm kind of in the mood for a hot dog
13:11
with a line out here
13:13
it's pretty lengthy
13:19
i'm kind of craving a hot dog
13:19
when you're at a ballpark you need that
13:20
ballpark dog one cool thing about this
13:22
stadium is that you can purchase tickets
13:24
that are just sitting on the berm you
13:26
can almost get like general missions set
13:27
on the berm it also has a little bit of
13:29
a delay in game play because fair baits
13:30
come into pitch then it appears as the
13:32
fairbanks maybe pulled his shoulder or
13:34
pulled something
13:35
and just told the coaches handy to come
13:37
out of the game
13:38
and one of the one of the stands one of
13:41
the customers walked out and said hope
13:42
you're not in line for hot dogs because
13:43
the hot dogs are all sold out so now
13:45
walking down the baseball board oh wow
13:47
there is no one in line for a steak and
13:49
cheese i'm going to change things up and
13:50
go with the steak a cheese a cheese
13:52
steak instead of a hot dog
13:54
why not change it up and while they're
13:56
preparing the cheese steak getting a
13:58
nice little view through this little
13:59
crack in the little podium here where
14:01
they got the camera equipment up there
14:02
where they're televising it for spring
14:04
training got a view of second base the
14:06
pitchers mound home plate and
14:08
our seats are back there but we're just
14:09
kind of wandering around
14:20
okay getting out of the elements for
14:20
just a little bit
14:22
enjoying the cheesesteak right here we
14:25
went to double cheesesteak we went with
14:27
the works what they called it yeah the
14:29
works and made with love that's what the
14:30
lady said she said made with love
14:33
yeah
14:34
made with love and we're gonna go back
14:36
to our seats but we can eat in the shade
14:39
that's a good idea and then we'll go
14:40
back over and grab our grab our seeds
14:42
this is a oh yes you gotta wonder i
14:45
think it fill these games they serve
14:46
cheesesteaks they're better they
14:48
probably should this isn't a philly's
14:49
game i'm sure they have whiz and onions
14:51
though that's like a staple over there
15:02
it's good yeah it's really good
15:02
the rumor
15:03
is hot dogs are sold out today
15:06
hot dogs are sold out so we're eating
15:07
cheese sticks
15:10
i'm not complaining but usually i get a
15:11
hot dog me too how's your cheesesteak
15:14
it's really good in the
15:16
mushrooms it's really setting it off
15:20
i believe that's probably correct when
15:22
she said it was made with love because
15:23
when i looked at it i thought it might
15:25
not be that good
15:26
once you bite in the actual cheesesteak
15:28
the bread threw me off once i got past
15:30
the bread
15:33
it's pretty tasty made with love
15:35
and how now heading back to seats looks
15:38
like brett phillips has made it over to
15:39
second
15:44
as well got a man on second brett
15:44
phillips there's two outs
15:46
he's in the sixth inning right now got
15:47
another pitching change number 47 on the
15:50
mound last name adam
15:52
it's a familiar name it's his last name
15:54
though
15:55
number 47 and number 17
15:58
for the braves up to the plate
16:01
seventh inning right now
16:02
still no score
16:20
still no score there's a full count now
16:20
three and two
16:28
from number 84 right now see if i'm
16:28
right
16:48
those around us
16:48
are starting to get a little bit more
16:49
poke
16:50
because they definitely get alcohol
16:52
content flowing through the bones oh
16:55
yeah a lot more screaming
16:57
so this is where it gets good it's
16:59
getting really good it's very
17:00
interesting very entertaining stuff
17:07
one thing i like even though the double
17:07
ray's name has been retired they still
17:09
have a devil right there on
17:11
the emblem
17:13
of the jersey
17:14
so they still represent the
17:27
he gave up pretty easily though he was
17:29
calling evan and then he walked away
17:36
maybe he owes some money
17:36
probably the thing that's cool about
17:38
spring training is you get to see a lot
17:39
of players especially
17:41
in as the innings
17:42
continue
17:44
that are not in the starting lineup so
17:46
you get everyone gets a chance to play
17:48
in spring training
17:49
oh what just happened they just struck
17:50
them out
17:52
what's the cooler sitting at the outfit
18:26
start to not really care about the game
18:26
and they just have conversations about
18:28
work and pets and
18:30
things like that so that's basically
18:32
what's happening so i think we're going
18:33
to probably get up there we're probably
18:34
going to get up and move around for the
18:36
last
18:37
two innings try to get some different
18:38
perspectives my parents have a family
18:40
pomeranians
19:17
spring training in against boston i mean
19:17
i feel bad raise i love you guys
19:31
also some other another pitcher warming
19:31
up over here in the bullpen
19:38
oh he's stealing
19:40
you got it oh he got it
19:42
safe
19:57
so i guess that makes it a tie game one
19:57
in one yeah and there's a man on third
19:59
we're gonna try to go find some seats in
20:01
the shade there's two outs
20:03
tied up one to one number 62 is on the
20:05
third
20:07
oh that could be it
20:08
that could be it
20:10
that's it
20:17
oh it's pretty nice i have now taken off
20:17
the pillowcase off of my head
20:19
well as this and i'm now just back to
20:21

20:33
remainder
20:34
of the game

21:14
stadium
21:15
i kind of like it i've noticed there's a
21:17
guy down there wearing a freddy freeman
21:20
jersey of course played for the braves
21:22

out
21:32
this is the first time i've ever seen
21:33
the grapes yeah the tomahawk chop is in
21:36
effect in florida
21:38
they're gonna have to chop a little
21:40
harder though because
21:42
two more outs and the rays went toast
21:44
yeah i don't know if the i don't know if
21:46
the chop is going to help
21:47
one out away from the race winning
21:50

21:52
watching the race we went to the yankees

22:01
of me
22:03

22:10
boom
22:16

22:22
oh i went to the press box
22:25
someone in the press box got themselves
22:27
a little souvenir

22:55
only spring training game that i will be
22:57
attending this year before the regulars
22:59
oh we're going to quite a few regular
23:00
season games throughout the course of
23:01
the season
23:02
but this will be the only rey's
23:05
tampa bay ray spring training game that
23:06
i attended and they ended up winning
23:07
which is pretty dang
23:09
awesome four to one the interesting
23:11
thing is there were six hits by each
23:13
team
23:14
but yet the atlanta braves only got one
23:16
run in sometimes hits don't always
23:19
generate runs
23:21
tampa wins four
23:23
to one and that's going to do it for
23:25
today
23:26
a nice little teaser for the season
23:29
raise up that was it raise up just a
23:31
little teaser now the rays have not won
23:34
all of their spring training games i've
23:36
been following a little bit
23:37
you know watching some clips and things
23:39
but spring training is nothing like the
23:41
regular season they'll play players that
23:43
usually don't play in the regular season
23:44
and i didn't realize this until today
23:46
sometimes the last couple innings they
23:48
play some of the minor league teams yeah
23:50
some of the minor league players we're
23:51
playing out there like the
23:53
the biscuits
23:55
and the bulls
23:56
the one two and three
23:59
triple a teams and there's people back
24:01
there playing uh yeah they're throwing
24:03
the ball around the floor
24:05

24:06
it was a lot of sun today i don't know
24:09

24:18
there close to the players as they were
24:20
warming up the angle the angle and
24:21
