    • Sticking with my 2.2 to 2.3mm. Most people in the flex are going to the cheapest plan and be about  10 to 15 games depending on seat location. So the 9,000 is about 1/8th of that number for the season. Just like Biirdland memberships might have increased by 6,000 or so from last year but 96 %  or so are 13 game plans.Still you have added say about 3,000 extra tickets per game. They will definitely have a nice increase but 2.2? 2.3? A little higher,we shall see. Hard to figure out if the flex and season holders would have come to 7 or 8 games anyhow. Have to average about 32,233 for the rest of the home games to get to around 2.5mm Possibly but most likely not.
    • To be clear, I don't think he's going to get sent down.  But the reality is he will need to pick up the pace relatively significantly to even get to the Cal bar.  He's on pace for 5 or 6-for-104 right now, with a million K's in there.  Again, not saying that will continue, I highly doubt it does.  I'm just curious HOW bad it would have to get before they'd send him down. I also don't think he's necessarily shown that he's mastered AAA pitching, as someone else posited. He's hit well there but it wasn't a lot of games, and half the ones from this year were against a team that seems it shouldn't even be in AAA its so bad.  I'd be curious how far his stats would have dropped in AAA if he'd stayed, the way the rest of the guys have evened off. All of which is to say, he's here, and I am pretty confident he's staying almost regardless, but I am curious where the line for breaching that 'almost' is.
    • Everyone should heed this rule, unless we're talking about Jackson Holliday.  And then it's out the window.
    • You taking tomorrow off? I know a 54 year old who is.
    • He seems to be doing his best Max Wagner impression. Wagner got off to absolutely horrid start in Aberdeen as well last year and never really fully recovered. Let's hope that not the same with Horvath. Still very early, but I've been following his struggles so far.
