Dusty Isaacs 1/1
Carlos Ramirez 1/1

Postgame, went to the Reading dugout. Got Alberto Tirado 1/1

Did well. Missed out on Tocci, and Gurriel didn't sign at all (he was really focused I guess). Portland comes to town next week for three games. Planning on going to at least one of them (weather for beginning of next week doesn't look great), but I have a lot that I need to get.

Did great overall. Missed out on Henry Owens since he pitched last night, and I didn't graph in the parking lot post-game since I had work at 8 this morning. Bowie and Richmond come into town next week, so hopefully I'll be there to graph.

8/1/2017 Bowie Baysox at NH Fisher Cats

Graphed last night after work. Started on the Bowie side, which was probably as mobbed as I've ever seen. The graphing crowd definitely affected how much the Bowie players signed. However, got Ryan Mountcastle 3/7. Missed out on DJ Stewart, who was one-per and everyone was trying to go for.

Ryan Mountcastle 3/7

Based on the size of the crowd on the Bowie side, I chose to move over to the NH at the end of warm-ups. Ended up with the following:

Lourdes Gurriel 1/1
Anthony Alford 3/6
Emilio Guerrero 1/1

Happy with my results, as I finally got Gurriel and knocked out a good chunk of my Alford cards. Bummed about not getting Stewart, but someone got him for me from an AFL 50/50 last season. Planning on going to graph Richmond on Sunday, as the weather is going to be nice and this is the only time Richmond is in town.

8/6/2017 Richmond Flying Squirrels at NH Fisher Cats (DH)

Yesterday, I took advantage of the nice weather to go graph. The game from the previous night got postponed due to rain, so Sunday's game turned into a doubleheader. Pregame Game 1, I graphed Richmond. I was able to get Sam Coonrod and Seth Rosin on their way to the dugout after BP. Prior to regular warmups, I was able to get Dylan Davis. After warmups, I was able to get Aramis Garcia.

Sam Coonrod 1/1
Seth Rosin 1/1
Dylan Davis 2/2
Aramis Garcia 1/2

Pregame Game 2, I went to the NH side. I was only able to get Anthony Alford, as everyone was rush before and after warmups.

Postgame, I went out to the players' parking lot behind the stadium. Stayed for about 45 minutes after the game. Was able to get Richard Urena, Reese McGuire, and Jon Harris before I left.

Richard Urena 1/1
Reese McGuire 5/5
Jon Harris 2/7

Overall, was happy with my results. Ended up with all but one of Richmond cards signed, as well as finally getting Harris for the first time this season. Next homestand has Hartford and Altoona coming in. I have quite a bit for each team, and may be ordering cards for players that I don't have cards of. Excited for what's to come.

Konner Wade 1/1 blank (had a bunch of blanks laying around, so thought I'd try get some signed)
Brian Mundell 4/5

Happy with how I did, especially since Rodgers didn't sign for anyone the night before. Going to graph Altoona on Sunday, which should be good.

Overall, really happy about how I did. Missed out on SRF by seconds, which bums me out, since I've yet to get him this season. Next graphing opportunity is Sunday against Hartford.

Did well for the final NH home game of the season. Going up to Portland next Sunday to finish up what I have left for both Portland and NH.

9/3/2017 NH Fisher Cats at Portland Sea Dogs

Went up to Portland yesterday to graph for the last time this season. I've always had a difficult time graphing in this ballpark, due to accessibility to the dugouts and ushers following protocols to send everyone back to their seats 15 minutes before first pitch. Managed to only get Portland manager Carlos Febles 1/1.

Went to go get lunch, and it started to rain once I made it back to my seat. Waited about an hour for the decision of cancelling the game. However, tickets can be exchanged for any April/May/June game of next season so that mean I'll be back in Portland at some point next year. Maybe I'll do better graphing in the parking lot after a game.

Looking back through this thread, I'm very happy with how I've done this season. Next year's NH team will be exciting to watch with Vlad Jr, Bo Bichette, Max Pentecost, and Cavan Biggio likely to come through, among others. Not sure if I'll do any other graphing between now and then, but if I do, it'll be posted in here.
