    Heirloom BBQ is close and worth the trip for lunch.

    There are tons of bars around the battery that are all more or less the same for pregaming.

    We aren't really drinkers, but will definitely try the BBQ place. We should have a good amount of time Saturday and Sunday to explore if there are any sights or eateries downtown that are recommended as well.

    The ones I’ve saw aren’t that much. But still too damn expensive for a game at a fucking racetrack.

    mostly going for the eateries. And the gambling.

    At the Battery I really love Antico Pizza, Theres a place called Terralin Tap Room that serves Fox Brother's bbq (my personal favorite bbq in Atlanta) there's also an Asian Food Hall that's pretty cool. There's a good candy shop called River Street Sweets.

    There's a place called The Works about 10 miles towards town, there's a massive fox brothers there and also a big food hall with lots of options. Big fan of that area. There's a top golf right there as well.

    I love our zoo and aquarium. They aren't super close to the stadium but not terribly far (like 25 minutes.) Going over that way opens up a bunch more restaurants as well.

    I do think there’s something to evaluating whether Atlanta’s organizational stance to not give opt-outs in contracts has become a hindrance to roster-building at the highest level and if that stance should be at least softened.

    The Braves new strategy is to see how many catchers we can spread around the league and become top 5 players at the position (for teams other than our own).

    Whole lot of Soy Boy’s in here can’t handle trading the third string catcher with no MLB appearances (they’ve also never met him, either) for a much needed starting pitcher.

    Daysbel Deep Dive

    Daysbel was very good in Atlanta in 2024, and that remains true with each layer that you peel back. He averaged 97.4 mph with his fastball and had a 2.50 ERA – excellent.

    Going a layer deeper, he balanced out his poor 13.5% walk rate with a 35.1% K and 0 HR allowed in 18 IP – terrific.

    A layer deeper… He had a 2.11 FIP and 2.49 xERA – superb.

    A layer deeper… He had a 2.7% Barrel% and 27% Hard-Hit rate, both of which would have ranked in the top 20 in the sport if he replicated that over a full season – fantastic.

    A layer deeper… He had a 29.7% CSW and 14.5% SwStr, and 35.4% O-Swing, which closely resembled the 2024 per-pitch plate discipline metrics of closers Kirby Yates (1.86 xERA) and Jhoan Duran (2.76 xERA) – wonderful.

    And the last layer… he was a standout by Stuff+, a model that rates the quality of a pitcher’s arsenal based on movement and velocity. Stuff+ is usually among the first stats to stabilize (meaning they are significant in a small sample) and is also fairly predictive (most pitchers who are strong in Stuff+ are good pitchers). Among the 656 pitchers to throw at least 10 innings in MLB last year, Daysbel ranked 21st in Stuff+ – incredible.

    I’ll leave you with a bonus layer, one that should mostly be ignored (given the teeny sample size and randomness of the sport), but also one that may speak to the closer-like mentality that some have referenced in him). When Daysbel’s number was called in a big spot, he simply dominated. Between his 5 regular season appearances in high-leverage and his one postseason appearance, he went 6.2 IP with 3 hits allowed, 2 BB (one was intentional and the other was to Fernando Tatís Jr. in the playoffs), 0 HR, 0 ER, and 9 strikeouts.
