Day 2 Spring Training 2011

by FlashGibbs

Got to the back fields around 11am after heading into the main stadium for a bit. Watched the pitchers warm up. They were really good about hanging out with the fans and signing autographs. The position players were harder to get. They were practicing for the most part on Nolan Ryan Field 1 but would stop from time to time to come over and hang out with the fans.

Around 12:15-12:30 all of the players had left the back fields leaving only the minor league guys still practicing. We left to go to the stadium to watch the Rangers take on the Giants. Hunter struggled...especially with 2 strikes. Just couldn't get guys out. They got to him early. He did show the ability to strike guys out after that but the damage had been done. Borbon who was 3 for 3 in that game, really let Hunter down when he dropped a pop fly in center that allowed 3 runs to score. Still a great day at the ballpark.
