Third String Catcher?


Shake Shack line time last night: arrival 6:40, order placed at 7:20. Was it worth it? For the first time sure. You gotta have this burger eventually. Next time, maybe I'll stop by after trying everything else and the line is not as long. Will it ever happen? Who knows?

The bullpen is a good place to hang out and eat if you don't mind missing an inning or two. There are all these picnic tables there and no one's using them. Unlike most places of the stadium, there is no audio of the game, no viewing of the game. You really get a feel for how crappy the visitors bullpen is. The Marlins relief core were either huddled on chairs in front of a flat screen or just loosening up and not paying attention to the game. Get rid of the ad covering the bullpen fence, please. While it's nice that they are making it as inconvenient as possible for the opposing relievers, they are also doing a disservice to the fans, taking away what would be a very cool area to hang out and heckle some relievers while still following the game.

What did I get for peace and quiet while downing a burger by the bullpen? Missing the highlight of the game, an Omir Santos grand slam. What will be of the catching situation when Brian Schneider returns to action? I think we are seeing the last of Ramon Castro.

How about that one week wonder, Emilio Bonafacio? Welcome back to Earth Emilio, and welcome back to Earth the Florida Marlins.
