Batting Practice

Is catching batting practice before a game even a thing anymore? We have tickets to today’s titanic tilt, and was thinking it would be cool to see batting practice if that is still possible.

Usually The Rockies are done with BP before gates open, so it’s the visiting team practicing about 2 hours before game time.

Like another comment said, teams usually opt out of BP during day games so the giants likely won’t be doing it today.

I think they do, but I'm always availing myself to the cheap pregame beers and don't pay attention anymore.

Gates A and E open two hours before first pitch to allow for fans to watch batting practice, but most teams opt not to take batting practice before Sunday afternoon games. So, yes you can watch BP but probably not today

Cool thanks; I forgot teams don’t take BP on Sunday day games.

Do they actually wear batting practice hats during batting practice?

My friend almost caught a ball at BP before yesterday’s game. So yes
