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

    • That 3-4 record is largely because of Kimbrel. I’m not a big believer in the 1-run luck theory, especially now that we have the BS ghost runner. 
    • I have a question for you and I don’t mean for this to come across as accusatory (unless it is true and I don’t know if it is). Are you an Oriole fan or more of a “fan”/detractor of Jackson Holliday? I ask because you seem to be very focused on the struggles of this one 20 year old player. However, last week, we had a tremendous pitching performance by our entire starting staff and to my knowledge (I don’t recall a single comment from you about that). Maybe you did and I missed it? Which is very possible. Or maybe you just weren’t on here and we’re busy with other stuff? I get it we all have lives. I bring this up because I have noticed that you have very little to say/contribute regarding all of the positives regarding this team who has the second most wins in the Majors. And I was curious as to why that is? (No judgment. Just a curiosity.)
    • Saw some clips of him last year and was interesting. 
    • 2024 is the year of the pitcher for the O's.  DeLeon is a dude and "chalk" for guesses.  Forret can pop.  Povich isn't on most (any?) top 100, but he's been fringy for the past year+.  He's trending toward a top 50 type. He won't be on lists, but Braxton Bragg has a 14+ k/9 and a 1.69 bb/9.  Maybe a BP nugget next year depending on how he’s doing it. Willem is doing things as a C.  Beavers has been fringy and has been strong so far.  Both probably need a bit more. FCL is too soon to guess... but Almeyda and Liranzo are interesting.  Still a top 5 system I think.  I don't know other organizations as well, but (a good shot at) 3 top 15 guys carries a lot of weight.  Even "losing" Cowser/Ortiz and maybe HK, they are back-filled by good pitchers who weren't really on national radars.
    • In your opinion what has made Jackson Holliday the number rated prospect in all of MLB? I ask because if you believe in that valuation/talent profile/projection, that is not a player at age 20 who you say he’s only average here so he must go there (where who knows how he’ll be, but oh well on to the next).  Mookie Betts is the absolute rarity in his ability to move all over the baseball field and excel. How many other guys have done that and can realistically do that? I would bet very few. I’m not sure if that is the wisest call to make that the standard for anyone, let alone your most prized minor league asset.
    • As long you’ve been a fan of the O’s, as impressive as Mayo’s offensive stats are, you have to know that those Minor League numbers do not carry a direct one-to-one correlation to the Bigs. Despite the gaudy numbers, there is no guarantee that he wouldn’t struggle initially with the O’s (like so many other recent prospects have). Is there any downside in allowing him to continue to work on his defense at AAA? Since that appears to be the area of his game that is not “big league ready”?
    • So am I reading those suggestions correctly? They think Mountcastle is either worth a Tier One Division One starter... or a Tier 2 Division 2 starter? I vote for the first 😉
