    When they brought out the flamethrowers, we knew there was a problem After three days of much heavier rain in Washington, I was confident that tonight’s game in Philadelphia was going to happen. Sure, it was drizzling around game time, but with a properly cared for field, there was no reason for the game to…

    Another day, another rainout Over my three days in Washington, DC, I managed to spend almost 12 hours at Nationals Park and saw a total of 10 1/2 innings of baseball. One one hand, that’s a fair amount of time at the ball field to take in the sites, eat some food and drink a…

    Max Scherzer goes nine innings for the CG win Game Recap | Box Score My favourite thing about 2018 baseball is Max Scherzer. I guess he was also my favourite thing about 2017 and 2016 baseball. Maybe even 2015 baseball. When I was considering my baseball travels this year, I booked six Nationals games with the intention of…

    23 minutes of baseball and 4 hours and 15 minutes of rain delays Rescheduled to 3:05 pm on September 8th With Joe Ross’ 2018 debut after Tommy John surgery, tonight should have been an opportunity for the Nationals to celebrate the fireballer’s return to the rotation. Instead, fans had to wait around for over five hours…

    Estrada outduels Scherzer for the win Game Recap | Box Score Healthy and confident, Devon Travis’ two-run homer in the 5th inning would be all the Blue Jays would need to blank the Nationals 2-0. Facing one of the best starters in Max Scherzer, Marco Estrada surprisingly shutout Washingon over six-plus innings. With a three-time Cy Young…

    Solarte homers twice to lift the Jays over the Nats Game Recap | Box Score While he isn’t 2015 Josh Donaldson, Yangervis Solarte’s infectious attitude — not to mention two home runs — helped lift the Blue Jays over the Nationals in this first of a three-game series. On the Nationals side, Anthony Rendon went 3…

    Washington Nationals 7 – New York Mets 2

    So far, my favourite thing about the 2017 season is Max Scherzer. While Clayton Kershaw has clearly been the best pitcher of the past decade, for the past few years Max is currently in the same league. Having five consecutive games in a row with 10+ strikeouts is not a common occurrence. If he stays healthy and on…

    Edinson Volquez pitches the first no-hitter of 2017 Fun fact #23, Edinson pitched the 13th ever Maddux no-hitter, throwing only 98 pitches. Fun fact #689.5, Mister Volquez injured his foot pretty badly in the first inning and was hobbling around on an injured foot the whole game. Final fact, he seemed to be getting stronger as the…

    Rained out in the top of the 6th which was more than fine. I had an early flight to catch in the morning and it seemed like the teams were just trying to get an official game in and go home. It was nice to have an almost empty park all to myself to explore.…

    The final game of the pre-Tulowitzki era in Toronto – With Devon Travis & Jose Bautista leaving the game with injuries and Tulo not yet ready, they were short a position player and had to make crazy fielding changes.

    When I mentioned to one of my Ownercamp friends that I would be coming to Philadelphia to visit and catch a Phillies game, he offered to take care of things and get us “The Best Seats in America”. As you can see from the photos below, he obliged. I wasn’t sure what to expect from…

    Without a doubt one of the best things about this baseball trip is that thanks to the friends I’ve made at Ownercamp, I have been able to share my games with local fans. I was fortunate to get the chance to tag a long on a field trip with the whole team at Fastpost. This…

    For my birthday, I decided to treat myself to a baseball trip that included 4 cities, in 6 days. I started my trip by flying into Washington, DC to catch my 3rd Nationals home game this season. While the weather was nice all day within 45 minutes of getting to the ball park there was…

    Eight days, 4 cities and 6 baseball games later, my trip finally came to an end with an 11-0 loss by the Nationals to the New York Mets. While the pitching clearly fell apart, the Nats also demonstrated a serious inability to score runs. With only a 5 hit difference between the 2 teams, the…

    Bottom of the 9th, walk-off home run by Bryce Harper After seeing a game at Miller Park in Milwaukee, I got on a plane to Washington, DC to catch a couple of Nationals games. I haven’t been back to Washington since 2008 and I was excited to see one of my favourite teams and revisit Nationals…

    With sports outlets already handling game wrap-ups much better than I could ever do, there is no reason for me to wax poetic about the firsts of this game. Let me explain the dynamics of this game simply; until the top of the 8th, I ate more hot dogs than the Mets scored runs. Since…

His 2010 season included a no-hitter during the playoffs and this perfect game. Throwing 115 pitches…

    Baseball is not for everyone, and on some occasions, it’s for no one at all. At this game, my wife took the opportunity to read a magazine and do her nails. “I may as well get something done,” she said, $126,429,667 worth of athletes offering her zero entertainment. I like baseball because it doesn’t require…

For some reason our client, Airborne Mobile decided to give me…
