Starting the Season in AAA...kind of

Matt has been assigned to AAA in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — but he isn’t breaking camp with the team. I mentioned in a post a couple weeks ago that Matt had a minor injury. He’s having problems with his intercostal muscle. Last week he got an MRI, and thank the Lord the MRI came back clear. But Matt isn’t 100% yet so they are keeping him in Arizona to rehab and get to 100%. We’re not entirely sure what the timetable (hoping for one week but could be two or three) is for him to be with the team, but we’re hoping for the best!
 
I am actually though packing up and will soon be on my way to move into our apartment in OKC. By myself. With U-Haul trailer in tow. Prayers are appreciated.
 
We decided I would go ahead and go for a couple of reasons. One our Arizona lease is up at the end of March. Two when Matt is ready to play he won’t have a couple days or even a day to make the trip from AZ to OKC. They’ll fly him out to OKC or wherever the team is playing.
 
So we’ve already signed a lease and have roommates. I already have a job lined up in OKC — Lululemon transferred me!
 
I wanted to include the places where Matt will be playing during the season (granted no send downs or call-up) because I think a lot of our friends and family are going to be happy with a couple places he will be playing.
 
The Oklahoma City Dodgers are in the Pacific Coast League. The PCL has 16 teams that are very spread out which means the team will be flying a lot.
