Are double chins and footlong hot dogs good for half marathons? Asking for an acquaintance.
I do love baseball vlogs when the Rays lose, it's delicious watching Adam's excitement and hope before the game starts knowing it will be crushed.
Today's OCD mention is that the Rays play in a dome. So, Adam has to explain and re-explain (and then re-explain because it's on his t-shirt) that no matter what the weather is, the game will not be cancelled because they play in a dome. Did you know the Rays play in a dome?
As a Yankees fan, I'd like Adam to keep Don Mattingly's name out of his mouth.
Adam only knows former players from the 80s & 90s (and their kids because they have the same last names), and then he knows some Rays players. Vast baseball knowledge.
Adam commemorated what turned out to be a crushing loss by buying a t-shirt to remind him of said loss on Opening Day 2024

Because remember folks, no matter how much he pretends to like baseball, it's really just an excuse to buy stuff and gorge on food.

There's a moment during the pre-game festivities that speaks volumes about Adam: he's filming the line of Rays players down the first base line, the Opening Day roster, and suddenly he jerks the camera up and out into left field because he sees the mascot Raymond. Speaks VOLUMES.
He also seems oddly excited about some Blue Jays being there almost to the point that he's rooting for them, like Mattingly, and also Vlad Guerrero Jr (Adam affectionately calls him "Vladdy" which is just so bizarre to me), and the former Ray Kevin Kiermaier (he
still affectionately calls him "KK" like a 10yo kid, like he helped the Rays win a couple of World Series or something).
Adam's not so much interested in the game, but he likes that he can see all the guys in the Rays dugout:

Like anyone looking to lose weight and get ready for a half marathon, Adam eats twice at the ballpark and his second meal is
dictated by the shortest line, so it's a footlong hot dog.
Adam's not that upset when Toronto takes the lead because it's mostly "Vladdy" and "KK" doing the damage and he loves the say those names.
Here's how you know Adam is a true baseball fan, living and dying with his team: His team is losing 8-2 on Opening Day
and he's doing the wave. Even the way he talks about it is awkward and un-baseball like - "
Eflin started the game the first 3-4 innings with no hits" - any normal baseball fan would say he had a no-hitter for the first 3 or 4 innings.
But never fear, Adam is looking forward to showing off his Opening Day merch! Yes, not just the t-shirt, but the commemorative ticket, and of course A PIN!
