BoltonBob about Phils and Clearwater BrightHouse Field

Good times today @ Brighthouse field as Phillies came back from a 4-0 deficit to eventually beat the Pirates, who again had some errors @ critical points as against the O?s last night to give away the game.

ABOUT BRIGHT HOUSE FIELD

Built in 2002 on 17+ acres with a capacity of 8,500 (7,000 fixed seats), the ballpark distinguishes itself with a 360-degree main concourse, grass berm seating, and a tiki-hut pavilion in left field. Other characteristics include group picnic areas, a children?s play area, and a state-of-the-art video scoreboard.

The engineering and design of the facility was handled by the renowned sports architects HOK Sport (Camden Yards designers) and Ewing Cole Cherry Brott. The Hunt Construction Group acted as the General Contractor.

Brighthouse (the best cable company in FL)?. "does it right" with having an after game party w/local music after every game in the outfield seating area and Tiki bar. I've often thought Camden Yards misses out on this aftergame crowd; which I enjoyed @ Memorial Stadium Hit and Run Club w/Rex Barney and player interviews?..

Beautiful Silly Tillie, my new favorite bartender, sorry married 10 years folks w/2 kids, serves buckets of 5 beers $17 and $5 mixed drinks that spark lively conversation, dancing, and a bit of showboating by mascots and patrons such as BoltonBob.

In a picture you may or may not see depending on help from OH, are Patti, the ?rally towel? girl, down on her own dime from Philly for a week (executive assistant @ Venture Capital firm), and Annie, a single, beautiful AsianAmerican Toshiba copier salesperson, great dancer and Philly supporter. Her and 5 lovely friends inspired me to cut the rug a bit before trying to leave for Nortons. RallyTowell@gmail.com will be @ Camden Yards June 8, 9

Bill Lineville, does a Lets Make a Deal thing between innings and gives stuff away. He and I bonded at the party and I promised to stop by to try his wine, located just across from the field in Clearwater on US 19.

Another Bill the I'm just doing my job? ticket taker and drink inspector stopped me dead in my tracks with my OJ looking beverage on my way out. After regrouping, and another dance, I borrowed an empty beer bucket for cover and showed BILL an empty cup, while clutching the almost empty bucket tightly and restored my drink, I mean Orange juice, after safely passing through, his TSA approach

I went to two games here this year and the following fotos aptly (amply) show the bartending staff. I agree that the post game show is an outstanding idea and gets you out of the traffic. Often, players show up and join the crowd.

Excuse my buddy, the arrogant Yankee fan (I hope WV O's fan doesn't show his displeasure but here is a nice shot)

Here is a shot of the Tiki seating area below the Tiki Bar

    • What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!
    • What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days. 
    • Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.
    • He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
    • Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next. 
    • I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses.
