Who said there isn’t any Giants Baseball today? Just because the MLB game got rained out, doesn’t mean I’m going to leave you hanging on a Sunday.

I had the opportunity to snap some shots during the beginning of Day 1 of MiLB work outs.

The plan from here on out is I will mostly be at ISP (Indian School Park) in the mornings of home games, and then head to Scottsdale Stadium to cover the MLB game. I will try to catch some MiLB games as well, schedule permitting.

I didn’t realize it at first but Baggs said something to me that I thought was a great quote. He said, “Right now, you can get the whole Giants system in one photo.” Thinking on that a little more, it made me realize that after this month, this group of 164 guys gets shipped out all over the country for the opportunity to wear the colors they wear in Arizona, in San Francisco. I think that’s why I love covering MiLB so much. The talent is raw, the desire is strong, and for the most part anything’s possible as long as they keep working hard and get promoted. It’s baseball.

Diamond Notes:

- As you can imagine, not a whole lot was done yesterday. A majority of my time there was a full squad meeting talking about logistics, times, what to do, what not to do, etc.

- After the meeting, they do the necessary stretching and conditioning exercises just like the big league club. It involves a lot of running in lines, skipping, kneeling, hopping, etc. Quite honestly, it’s rough to get good pictures because they are in lines and most of the movements don’t frame well. That’s how the day always starts out though.

- Next they play some catch and then are broken up in to 4 groups that will rotate throughout the day at different stations. Lastly, BP and bullpens. I only got to stay until they were done throwing because of the DBacks game that day.

- Right now it’s just photos but I’ve already got a couple more interview’s scheduled and hopefully can give you some insight once I see some actual baseball drills/gameplay in the next month. Keep checking the site for updates!
