I'm jealous of your spring training escapades thus far. What are the ticket prices on average that you've encountered?
The Braves' spring training prices at Disney are absurd.

I know what your feeling. But I'm not ready to see Vin go. I'm spoiled growing up listening to Vin, Chick and Bob Miller

Tickets are really all over the board here.
For the most popular stadiums, the Cubs' place in Mesa and Scottsdale for the Giants, if you don't get tickets early you could pay $100+ for decent seats, $25+ for the berm on busy weekends.
For the more mellow stadiums (basically everywhere else, with the exception of Salt River where the Dbacks and Rockies are once in a while) you can get tickets as low as $5 easily. We went stubhub for most of ours and did great. For example, sat first row over the dugout for $16 each today. Not sure what face value was.
Overall though, it's very reasonable (with the exception of the Cubs place in Mesa, which is absolutely ridiculous and they still sell out every day. However, it's worth it, especially if you're going to tailgate. It's a fantastic environment).
Can't recommend making a trip to the cactus enough. No more than 45 minutes to any stadium in the Valley, so many other things to do including seeing the NBA or NHL. Fantastic experience!

As if being reasonably priced is a bad thing? It's a great time. Peeps from Vancouver fly down here for games all the time and enjoy it. Them and apparently every Saskatchewan Rough Rider fan in existence.

I know about that, it's just trying to plan is all. Considering I'm beginning my working career and I don't know whether I want to go back to school yet, so everything I want to do is put onto the backburner.
May 9th is when he will get what's coming to him. Bet they keep him out of the lineup.
I'll probably do this next year. Catch some Coyotes games, the NASCAR race and watch my Mariners when they are in prime form.

I see we're already hitting Giants players..
Also Dave Roberts need to work the fielding. So many errors this spring training.
I'll be going to Reno in June so hoping the Aces will be in town and catch a game. Great facility

Page 3 fellas.
So it's gonna be a battle between Bolsinger, Beachy and Zack Lee to fill in for Anderson's spot in the rotation.

I've heard this every year for decades but never made the plunge and planned a trip.
I used to love hanging out at minor league ballparks so spring training sounds so great.
Jhonny Peralta suffered a thumb injury Saturday. Early speculation is that he tore the ligament and could be out 2-3 months

Big Bart pitching today!! hoping they decide they want pitchers to hit today!
I'm sure the Cardinals have some young up and comer that will beat the shit out of the ball during Jhonny's recovery.

All aboard the Aledmys Diaz bandwagon!
Awful timing on Jhonny's part. A few weeks earlier and we probably go after Desmond. Between this, Lynn's TJ, and Molina's injury, this season seems primed to be a repeat of 2015 health-wise. Ugh.

Man, it seems like it's a constant DL cycle.
Better than cycling something else.

The Cards have to have a pretty major injury every year it seems though. It's the Cardinal way
Gotta sacrifice someone to the baseball gods every year to earn their favor and get a playoff spot

Is this going to turn into the baseball equivalent of 'Red Velvet needs sacrifices' joke?
Because they both need to be stopped. Especially in the Cardinals case.
should have been the whole franchise.

I bet we get Gyorko at short for a while. Even though he's not a shortstop
I'm kind of OK with Diaz and Garcia sort of platooning, though. Wouldn't shock me if Diaz was an average major leaguer, tbh
How long until CMart TJ? :lol

Have you not heard of the Cards/Yanks devil alliance for this season?
It's about as low as you can get. Between small bear media darlings and Giants even year devil magic, nothing stops this train.
Damn that one is almost as low-key as them honoring a guy for a year who if alive would have been convicted with intoxicantion manslaughter.

Nah the Phillies are winning the WS this year with Ryan Howard leading the way with 70 HRs and 200 RBIs while hitting below .200.

Hey! Save those comments for when we meet in the WS and the alliance serves its purpose. Until then, Don Tony preferred a loose clubhouse.

should have right below it, 2014 - Bumgarner was here.
can't wait to hear tomorrow that he showed up at the cubs training camp
anyways, the white sox going 3-1 and actually hitting and driving in runs is making me rather unhappy. typically if they hit well early they lose it near the end and have like a .180 batting average as a team for april @_@
though to be fair they did get rid of some of the players who were known to have horrible starts. Heck I think Alexai Ramerez while being a .275 or so lifetime hitter has a sub 200 april batting average >.<; I would have to check to be sure though.
I would love it if the white sox were a hit driven team though as they have the starting pitching to back it up (assuming danks gets hurt before the spring is over >.>) I've been waiting for a long time for the white sox to shift away from an all or nothing offense... sadly it's been more of a nothing offense for the last few years, but it would be great to watch a team focused on getting on base and moving people over instead of trying to hit home runs all the time. I'm hard pressed to think of a less powerful outfield than the white sox (there might be one I don't know all of them) who are projected to maybe have 25-30 home runs between the entire outfield lol.
heh no doubt. the bum was just crazy that series against them.
That's a good sight, especially when it's going to be there until the franchise goes under. They won't need to ever change or add onto it since you know they'll never win again.Liking the new Crown Vision

Damn. I wonder who was going the other way then.

Heyward/simmons/carpenter/bj upton/c Johnson for severino/judge/banuelos/clarkin/sanchez said floated. Nyy didnt pull trigger
