View of Daikin Park from the fourth level, above third base. The stand are filling in and the jumbotron shows the US and Brazil flags.
Back here, slightly different seat for USA vs Brazil! Manny Ramirez's soon is on team Brazil! That's kind of cool! #WorldBaseballClassic
So, yeah, a team like Great Britain might have the starters tou make it exciting for a while, but the bullpen gets thin eventually. #WorldBaseballClassic
If I were a ballplayer named Harry Ford, I would absolutely use The Raiders' March as my walk-up music.
Warren Duran looking kind of listless while Yoshida is obliterating baseballs in Japan.
View of Daikin Stadium from the third level behind home plate. The roof is closed, not many people are there yet, and the scoreboard shows the Mexican and British flags.
Got here early to make sure I could find my way around; when it fills up, I'm expecting Mexico to be the home team even if Great Britain bats last! #WorldBaseballClassic
