Well the season for MILB is winding down, heading to Chicago for a few days and then coaching starts so won't be traveling as much the last couple weeks of the season. To the point of the season it's just "mop up duty" finding guys who were moved to teams already covered.

Local AAA game, all shot with 300 2.8 + Mark IIn and some + 1.4, shot most game with it on actually. C&C.

#1 - Got his portrait a few weeks ago for a card but he was traded from the Yankees to the Pirates org. Luckily was pitching today with his new team.

#2 - Another recently traded player from the Indians getting brushed back a bit on a bunt attempt. Three attempts and he popped it up to the pitcher, looks like the brush back worked.

#3 - Screwed this one up good - the two shots before this would have been much better but missed focus as it hit the runners back. Was shooting the batter though and saw this so had to switch quick, wasn't prepaired (idiot!)

#4 - That second baseman above headin to first as the bat drops...

#5 - Ok, so tie game in the bottom of the 9th I head to the other side for a shot like this and to get the reliever...problem is the reliever delivers one pitch and gone - take a wild guess who wasn't ready yet.

Very nice. As for the last two, those came out special even though you weren't "ready."

Yea, missed the reliever and the AB but got those so it equals out - since it was the reason I went to that side in the first place. Hard to get the reliever when all he throws is one pitch :) I was walking behind the catcher when switching but decided not to put my drink down and snap anything from back there, that'll learn me.

Nope, nothing special - they were run through a few auto settings quick before posting but nothing special. I didn't even pay attention enough to know how Luke was doing, they had a bunch of new names and was concentrating more on Trevor Plouffe really. I think 40% or so of my wings shots were of him.

Thanks...and today I backed it up by being an idiot again! Got to the game and my IIn battery died immediately without taking a shot, reach in for my backup and you can guess what was left behind on the charger. Luckily had the 20D but light wasn't that great - it did pretty good in an emergency situation.

#1 - One of the two guys was after - the other guy (left handed batter) goes opp field in his first AB, so I switch sides and he pulls a home run so nothin great.

#2 - Two pitches and two times he hit the ground, catcher making the international sign for calm down.
