March 24, 2016 – Phillies vs. Braves
(rainout) – Lake Buena Vista FL
Section 216,
Row M, Seats 12-16 – upper level, near the top, just on the third-base side of
home plate. Plenty of other Phillies fans in our section.
Oddly
enough, this game was exactly one year after my last trip to Champion Stadium.
The variety of stadium concessions hasn’t improved much (never did find the
flatbread they were bragging about), and the lines were long at all the main
stands. The game was scoreless through 3 innings before it was called because
of an impending storm, which arrived shortly thereafter with a vengeance. (They
actually evacuated the stands before the final half-inning was over.) They
waited quite a while (seemed like well over an hour), but things didn’t improve
and they finally cancelled the game.
The pitching
matchup featured Matt Wisler vs. Adam Morgan, who’s in a two-man competition
for the final spot in the Phillies rotation. He did fine overall (although I’m
sure he wished he could have kept pitching), although the leadoff 3rd
inning walk to weak-hitting Gordon Beckham with the pitcher on deck was not his
finest moment.
So,
uncooperative weather and a long drive each way. Fortunately the company was
good.
