I'm thinking of going to a game during the Brewers series here in a couple weeks. I haven't been to the new stadium yet. Where's the best place to sit?

Sit in the Chop House if you can. Not sure on how much you’re wanting to spend but it’s worth a little more.

Not a bad seat in the house, but the sun sets behind the 1st base dugout, so if you go Friday or Saturday, to beat the heat I'd recommend anything in the 100-400 levels that ends in 18- about 26.

Get a parking pass in either the Red deck or deck 11.

This is really interesting. We might see Touki get a start or two

I actually really like this. Save everyone some innings, see who can get MLB hitters out for trade bait in the off-season or for the rotation next year, and maybe who can pitch out of the bullpen if you can make the postseason.

I liked our seats in the OF. LF power alley, maybe 10 rows back. I think we parked in the Green deck and if you spend $50 within The Battery, they validate your parking for the day.

What happened to Lane Adams, where's he?

He’s back in Gwinnett. Not sure why he was ever cut either (although he has been bad in the minors but he’s hit well in Atlanta). But he’s not on the 40 man right now which is why Reed is up (and that’s fine). Flaherty makes no sense. Dude hasn’t hit other than the first two weeks of the season.

I've been in California, where there was surprisingly little beer and terrible internet. This is like coming home from a vacation and finding out someone has cleaned your house out and redecorated while you were gone.

To continue my bench rant:

Flaherty in 161 PA’s: 77 OPS+

Tucker in 127 PA’s: 105 OPS+

Literally makes no sense why Flaherty is on the roster

There’s an unbelievable amount of beer in San Diego. San Diego is magnificent.

Is Touki’s future as a starter or a closer?

Before the year, I would have said reliever most likely. Not because of stuff (which is elite) but never knew if the command would be there or if the change up consistency was real. This year with his development I would say he can be a frontline starter.

This.


This is also why you let guys be starters as long as humanly possible (see Folty)

Gimme a break. This is outrageous.

It’s not outrageous. He’s not being suspended or fined. Even though he was a dumb high schooler and I doubt it is any sort of long term problem, but you get caught with that sort of language even a few years ago you gotta talk to the HR department.

The whole thing is stupid. The notion that he's talking to HR over something he wrote in highschool years before being employed is preposterous. It's not like he works at a plant or something.

The Braves and MLB are just in cya mode to protect their brand.
