At least when you go you stay the whole game.

Nah. I just go for the bobbleheads.

My sister and brother in law are moving back to the Bay this summer.
I hopefully plan on seeing an A's game this year.

They have some fan friendly deals if you do.

That's a beaut.

how many of those will rain down on the field?

That only happens in meaningful games so I’m gonna guess close to zero.

Either way $5 for a reg beer is a huge improvement considering it’s $12-14 for a tall boy right now. Apparently each level will have a kiosk with options that are $5 or less.

I don’t buy food at the games because you can bring in your own. Combine that with (relatively) cheap beer and cheap tickets and I’m in heaven. Don’t care how bad the Jays are if I can watch the youngins play.

Nothing like seeing a baseball game live, I hope to see 1 live some day, myself.

This place is enjoyable.
What's your favorite team?
What do you want us to talk about?
Fun stuff happening around the league? Prospects? I personally geek out over pitching and spin rates, velocity changes, etc.

To be honest I haven't followed baseball much since the 90's so the whole spin rate stuff is new to me.
Being a long time Braves fan my favorite pitcher was always Greg Maddux.

Alright HF Baseball, let's welcome 66Lemieux back from the 90s by talking about the Braves.
How bout that young pitching staff, eh?
What is their rotation anyways?


Folty is hurt
Newcomb is a bit underwhelming
Gas-can Gausman was pretty good last year
Touki Toussaint?
Gohara?
Teheran? LOL
Max Fried is really good, plus-plus curve and fastball with great movement

Injuries is the theme entering the season. Folty and Gausman hurting. From the pen, Minter and O'Day start on the IR, and top prospect Mike Soroka just starting light sessions. Swanson's wrist is touch-and-go as well.
