7/6/16 Bakersfield Blaze vs. High Desert Mavericks

High Desert Finally came to Bakersfield for their only time this season. Lots of guys with cards out on this team (can't say that for Lancaster who is still upcoming).
Here is how I did on this day.

First I added Travis Demeritte and Jose Trevino to my Cal League all star team signed ball.

Cards:

Jose Trevine, Michael De Leon


Travis Demeritte


Josh Morgan


Jairo Beras

7/8/16 Fresno Grizzlies vs. Reno Aces

Made my 2nd trip up to Fresno and I am figuring this place out. Wish it was closer.
I was hoping that Alex Bregman would be there, but he had already left for the Futures Game.
I also did not see Braden Shipley, had hoped to get him, but I did see him in Bakersfield a couple years ago.

Here is how I did.

Tony Kemp & Jon Singleton


Colin Moran


Peter O'Brien


Gabby Guerrero & Jack Reinheimer


Anthony Banda, Jack Omahen & Edwin Escobar


Also had Tyler White and Anthony Banda sign a ticket.

6/25/16 - Bakersfield Blaze vs. Modesto Nuts.

The Blaze pitched a combined no-hitter on this night!

Modesto is a very nice and accessible team and a lot of them have cards out there so that leads to a good amount of signatures.

Here is how I did.

Game 1

Forrest Wall


Dom Nunez


Max White


Omar Carrizales


Wes Rogers & Ryan Castellani


Parker French


Emerson Jimenez, Jack Wynkoop & Yency Almonte

7/19/16 Bakersfield Blaze vs. Visalia Rawhide

Visalia has moved a lot of players in the second half of the season and does not have many players on the roster with cards. Therefore I'll include a Blaze players update in this post as well.

Here is how I did.

Alex Young

My next update will include the newest Houston Astro.... Alex Bregman!

7/22/16 Fresno Grizzlies vs Albuquerque Isotopes

I was in Bregman or bust mode on this night. Because of this I missed out on the opportunity to get some of the Isotopes players I had brought cards for. Had I known I would have 2 chances at Bregman after the game I could've gotten more Isotopes like Freeland, Murphy, Dahl and Hoffman. All in all I cannot complain though.

Bregman is still his awesome-signing self which was great to see. Really nice guy. Signed everything for everyone after the game. Even signed for people through a fence in the parking lot later.


Alex Bregman OMLB


Teoscar Hernandez. Nice to get him as I never did when he was with Lancaster


Colin Moran. This dude rocks for signing too. He also tossed me a ball hit by David Dahl for an out.


Jon Singleton & Joe Musgrove


And..... the one Isotope card I got signed....
David Dahl. He signed 1 of 8 which it seemed he did for everyone.


It was a good night definitely, and was really nice to get Bregman and Dahl a couple days before their major league call up.

Sacrifices have to made when you have a plan of attack but it usually works out. Nice job on Alex

7/29/16 Bakersfield Blaze vs. Lancaster Jethawks

Well, Lancaster finally came to Bakersfield for the first time this season. Gone are the days of Lancaster being loaded with top Astros players, not a single player on the active roster is in Houston's top 30 prospects. Only a couple players even have cards, so this will be a small update.

Here is how I did on this day.

I did get a cracked bat from Oswaldo Duarte.

Bobby Boyd (also added him to my all-star team ball) & Jason Martin

A few more Drew Jackson cards.


Up next will be San Jose, but they play here literally 10 times in August so I'll just do a single update for them.
Pretty disappointed that they traded Phil Bickford on the same day he would've been here for the first time.

8/12/16 Bakersfield Blaze vs Lake Elsinore Storm

The Padres keep trading away players for prospects, which I like since it gives me a chance to see players I would not get to otherwise.
Here is one:

Josh Naylor, real nice guy.


Michael Gettys, Fernando Perez, Franmil Reyes.
Gettys signed 3 of 8 cards.


Zach Lemond, signed 3 of 4.


All stars - Luis Urias, Colby Blueberg, Glendon Rusch, Chris Huffman
