Spring Training Check-In

Hey guys! Long time, no check-in. We sent in our computers to get some trade-in money for a new one then decided we didn’t want to spend the money on a new one right now. So I took a step back while we didn’t have a computer and brainstormed some ideas for Dreams and Seams this upcoming season. I’m prepared to do more stadium tour vlogs, other vlogs and even start the podcast back up and of course write and write blogs.

Last season was so all over the place for us and trying to figure out how to handle the adversity of injury and injury. I know I shared what we went through to a certain extent, but it was still tough. We ended the year on a high after Matt was added to the 40-man roster. We had a great time at our first Fan Fest, and I wrote a little something about the experience for Our Baseball Life. And Matt has been feeling pretty good so far this year working out.

We’re officially in Arizona. We’ve been here since the beginning of January. I’m back working at lululemon. Matt has been going to Camelback Ranch everyday since we’ve been here to get into the groove. Spring Training is officially underway as of the beginning of this week!

Since he is on the 40-man now, he automatically goes to big league camp (whereas last year he was a non-roster invite). So everyone who is on the 40-man goes to big league camp then each organization can invite players who are not on the roster to camp as well. 

Games start this weekend. After last season, my prayers and hopes for this season have changed. I used to pray for hits, call-ups and all the on the field accomplishments. Now I just hope and pray for a healthy season and nothing else. I believe everything else will fall into place as long as Matt is healthy and feeling good playing everyday. 

I’m going into my third season traveling, and I couldn’t be more pumped! 2019, let’s do it.
