Damn man. I was there too. I don't want to pour salt in that wound, so I'll just say something negative, that we were sitting two rows from the top in the left field upper deck. You practically had to hunch over when you stood up to see everything because of the low overhang. Other than that...
Tobias kill himself yet with the universal DH announcement? It definitely bodes well for Kakes to reach 3000 hits (all while batting fifth for the next decade)
The year is 2029. Nick Markakis rips a bloop single over the head of the third baseman for his 3000th hit. Tobias reluctantly pawns his wedding band to buy he and Jrmy two Greyhound tickets to Cooperstown
you have this backwards. full bet terms: 2099-2598: tobias owes jrmy $50 2599: tobias owes jrmy an all expenses paid weekend in atlanta (2 brave games min) and $50 2600: push 2601-2999: jrmy owes tobias $50 3000+ & HoF: jrmy owes tobias an all expenses paid trip to cooperstown for his induction and $50 bet becomes final when markakis is off an mlb roster for 24 consecutive months from last roster appearance bet is void if he dies or suffers a career ending injury (defined as paralysis or loss of use of a limb/digit) off the field or on the field as a result of a fan or animal attack
if kakes contracts covid19 and suffers lung damage to end his career, that voids the bet imo. jrmy disagrees. the lawyers will have to settle it.
the wrist injury last year and this lost season are really going to hurt my chances for this bet i have no one to blame but myself for not writing in a global pandemic clause
i will be on pins and needles when he gets 2599 because if that’s the last hit of his careers it’s going to be quite the financial boondoggle for me
i think a disease from a bat in china ending baseball would qualify as a career ending injury to his career as a result of an animal attack. got a solid case
Random thought: Since the MLB draft is fucked now maybe we’ll be able to sign some southeastern kids who grew up Barves fan. Might also be helpful for them being closer to home depending on how long the pandemic continues.
I also wondered about that, I would think having only 5 rounds and then a $20k cap on all other bonuses give the Braves essentially a huge recruiting advantage.
It can’t feature too much of the bullpen because that means they would have required them to throw strikes.
There was a Red pitcher that he was always compared to as better than. The Red TMB fans got mad often
Caught a Burlington Royals game this past year just because I wanted to see Brooks. Don’t judge me. Actually spoke to him about this and he credited Chipper with prepping him for this AB. Cordero was coming out of the pen, and Brooks had never seen him before. He said he spent the entire time Cordero was warming up talking to Chipper. Told him that Cordero’s fastball has fade, and if he sees it over the outer part to be ready to go the other way. Awesome guy. Spent probably 15 minutes with me and my niece before the game right up until the national anthem.
