    He ended up sitting at the Cobb Pkwy/285 light next to me in his big Chevy Tahoe or whatever. Has a giant fancy screen in the middle console and yet still has his phone in a little holster on the windshield that he clearly uses, leaning in trying to type on it like my own grandpa would do. It was the most human moment I've ever seen.

    So, in summary, the Braves Tour of the Stars goes like this

    - 1130 AM ---- the Battery for Braves management

    - 1215 PM ---- Chipotle in Akers Mill for Braves relief pitchers of fame such as Luke Jackson, AJ Minter and Jackson Stephens!

    I wonder how many Braves executives Im caught in traffic with at that light on a daily basis. Jk, those guys leave work way before I do.

    Let me guess, we did a lot of “checking in on” guys because we’re always trying to “stay competitive” while “finding a deal that works for us”

    It’s not so much that we need starter “help,” AA. It’s that we need starters because we’ve got 3.5 guys returning

    Like half those random “old” dudes were younger than me when they pitched for Atlanta. What I’m getting at is, let me throw some innings, AA

    I had totally forgotten that Steak Shapiro and Nick Cellini got fired for making jokes about Steve
    Gleason :laugh:

    Atlanta used to be a proper city - Buckhead Village was open all night, 2 Live Stews roamed the airwaves, you had to pay a toll with coins to ride up 400, everyone wanted to fire every coach and player from the Hawks for only getting the 5 seed in the East, Snit was just an idiot manager in Lawrenceville and not in Atlanta.

    Sometimes I’ll see a video of Steak eating somewhere and I’m baffled that this guy thinks he can give restaurant opinions. He literally doesn’t know how to eat a sandwich. He’ll bite into one but it’s like all bread then he’ll fumble around

    I used to listen to Chuck and Chernoff quite a bit back in the late 2000s/early 2010s during the commute. Every once in a while one of those dudes lunch show would still be on the dial when I went to lunch. Dear gawd that shite was awful.

    I honestly can understand deciding to reset the luxury tax, though I think it’s a bitch move. But we better end up much closer to the $241M threshold than tens of millions of dollars.
