gladdyontherise's IP success thread

[gladdyontherise]

I have season tickets (28 game package) for the Tigers this season and got my first success of the season. After trying the Tigers the first two times (and not getting anyone), I decided I might as well just do the road team unless it's another poor signing team (Red Sox were in town last weekend).

Did the Rays today and got two signatures, but very happy with the result.

Jeff Niemann signed for about 4 or 5 people, was friendly, by the time he signed the dealers had left already.



Then the big one (for me anyhow)

Matt Moore!

Only signed for me and another guy. Again, the dealers had left and for whatever reason me and the other guy were the only ones who asked. Not sure if people didn't recognize him or what, but he had pitched a heck of a game yesterday.



Next game is the 19th vs the Rangers.

Awesome job getting Moore...that's an awfully nice way to start the season off 'graphing wise.

Wow, very nice, that Moore looks great, awesome success!!

The Rays are great signers, minus a couple guys like Farnsworth and Upton

Hopefully the Rangers are a solid group. I know several sign TTM so hopefully it translates to IP as well.

They were at Comerica, but they left with 20 minutes left in batting practice, which is when I got Moore/Niemann to sign. As for the hotel, I don't know where the visitng teams stay, I would love some help on that one though.

Did the Rangers yesterday and the only one who ended up signing was Josh Hamilton. He was really nice and signed for a solid 30 minutes or so (until the end of batting practice). TONS of dealers there though, and they complained about him doing 1 per..Pretty ridiculous in my opinion.

My card didn't turn up very well, but life goes on.


Next game is tommorow vs the Rangers again. Verlander is starting. Gonna try and get the pitchers tommorow (mainly want Joe Nathan)

I might have seen ya there then. I had a white binder myself (and had a #13 Tigers BP jersey on). I was just happy to get my card signed, but I get how the dealers work.

It was pretty funny to see the one guy give Hamilton his binder to sign a card and he ended up signing all 9 though
