I had row 6 seats to the right of the batters eye and its a realllly good vantage point. You actually feel really close to the center fielder and you can also see the break on pitches.
Samardzija isn't going to get that record-breaking contract he wanted when he was with the Cubs, but it will be surprising to see what offers he will get. I'm more comfortable with Zimmerman.
lol I'm sure one of them (probably North) bitched at me for throwing out the babip line for Pillar's torrid month, saying that I can't pick and choose stats like that, but it figures that I'm not allowed to do that Goins either.
BTW did you guys automatically pick the best available, or did you try to find other seats?
I'm afraid that on that day the best available will be in the 200 levels but maybe the system is so wonky that there are still lvl 100 seats left.
They should consider in ST getting him more appearances in the outfield. Goins has the range and arm as an infielder. Maybe he can make the adjustment to be Zobrist-lite.

Goins the hitter is the type of hitter I like. Hits the pitches where they are pitched. I'm not sure if his BB % will be sustainable but I strongly believe we have a good hitter. He also admits that he's not looking for the HR, so I expect him to continue with this approach (as opposed to Pillar who feels like he's a 30 HR hitter)
