Spring Training Pictures March 21, 2009

Spring Training Pictures March 21, 2009

 

So I went to Disney and didn't bother with the Major League game - not because it wasn't interesting, but because the minor league fields were much more interesting to me.  We got to see Jo Jo Reyes and James Parr pitch back to back on one field, while prospects like Eric Campbell and Kala Ka'aihue were playing on the next field over.  Meanwhile several Braves pitching prospects were just wandering around taking things in - Scott Diamond, Ryne Reynoso, and Zeke Spruill come to mind as a few we saw.  The minor league Braves were playing the Nationals minor leaguers, so we also had a Pete Orr and Ryan Langerhans sighting.  Incidentally, Langerhans is one tall dude. 

Overall a good day.  Here are a few shots.  Nothing too interesting.  Just sharing.  Enjoy!

 This is sort of the scene at the minor league fields.  Ryne Reynoso is at the table, and Zeke Spruill is the guy standing in the blue and yellow striped shirt.  Others of you may be able to identify the other guys.

That's it for this spring.  More when Rome and Gwinnett get going....

My pictures are horrible, because I’m not cool enough to get 5 feet away from players. However, Houston did give me this golden ticket.

Pure bliss

I had one of them in the outfield in Orlando, but it was blurry so I chucked it. They must’ve become pals…what’s Freddie going to think?

My pictures are actually through a chain link fence. I have no idea how a lens can focus through a fence, but it does.

As usual. Good picture of Gunderson giving max effort… that’s why he’s number-1.

Keep in mind, nearly none of those pics were taken as I was sitting down…most of the time I had a beer in my other hand. And in Houston, I also had a ball to contend with.

Haha, is that the ball that you claim to have caught without your glove?

by Smoltz's Beard on Mar 30, 2009 5:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sitting down, caught with my left hand, with my camera in my right hand. And my dad was taking a walk then, so no one can vouch for me.

Then it didn’t really happen.

Hey, at least I went to a game instead of watching practice begging to get a manhug from Charlie Morton

I pretty much always assume all of your activities are done with a beer in at least one hand.

It was real tempting to do that in Clearwater, with the Beers of the World stand and all.
