Spring Training 2023 - Day 41

Baseball today with the NY Yankees.  A very good team.  The Phillies fielded their starters and best pitcher, Aron Nola in essentially a last warmup before the season starts.  Alas, the Yankees hit the ball early and often and the Phillies lost 8-3. 

There is one more spring training game on Tuesday, before they break camp and head for Dallas to play the opening game of the season against the Texas Rangers on Thursday.  Traditionally, the last few spring training games are just "let's get out of here as soon as we can games" for the regulars. Non-roster players are still playing for major league jobs, however. We may see the regulars for an inning or two, in the last game but most just want to end spring training and start the season.

Nevertheless, we will be there for our last spring training baseball experience this year. We also still have things we want to do here before leaving on April 1st and will try and get everything in before leaving.

Our visit to Alabama to visit a high school friend may be impacted by the severe weather yesterday.  Our going home route and schedule is a carefully considered experience depending on weather and road conditions.

It was a late dinner in the RV and not so early to bed for a change.
