    I actually really like the party decks they put into Fed Ex Field behind the goal posts.  They took out some of the seats and made an open patio, with a large bar in the center that extends from the wall back into the concourse.  If you are standing and aren't at the railing to look out, they have RedZone and the live game playing on TVs around the bar.  That would be pretty cool to have.  

    You could put it down the left field line where those seats point at the wearhouse  and not home plate

    I grew up 5 min from G&M! Crabs and crab cakes were basically the only food my family splurged on, G&M was the best. Also been to Timbuktu a few times but didn’t know they had good crab cakes. 

    To the rest of the thread, I prefer broiled but fried are good on occasion. I like to make them too but won’t win any awards and would never put the mustard in them. I love soft shells too. Hope Mr. Servideo ends up spending a long time in Baltimore and learns a thing or two about this. 

    Timbuktu’s are good but they prices have skyrocketed.  The the Olive Grove which is right up the street from G&M.   They are comparable to G&M in size and lump meat but have a little more zing to them.

  4. Has anyone heard how moving players from the roster to the taxi squad works?

    Do they go through waivers?  Does it count against they times waived? Will anyone be released if you can just store them on your taxi squad?

     

  5. I hate the runner on second proposal.  I know I am a dinosaur in age but typical if you make a change for good I may not like it but will  accepted it over time.  However, as unlikely as this is to happen answer me this question.

    A pitcher  takes a perfect game into the 10th inning. The runner on second advances to third on a bunt, scores on a sacrifice fly and the third out comes via strikeout. His team doesn’t score in the bottom of the 10th.

    He loses 1-0 , but hasn’t given up a hit or a walk, faced the minimum 30 batters , yet loses.

    Would this be a perfect game?

  6. How do we develop the new and recent talent with no minor league season this year and big changes coming after 2021?

    How do we evaluate this first and second year players?  Standouts will be able to show some growth at Sarasota but is there any plan or teams to play each other in the Florida like the summer league?

    i am hoping this doesn’t derail our prospects growth because we are starting to see some real talent in our system for a change?

  7. I played up to when I was 16.  Couldn’t hit a lick but caught everything hit closes to me.   Turned into a pitcher and could throw the ball up into the eighties at 16.   The coach  I had was more interested in getting to the bar after the game so everything I learned was on my own.  My junior year in high school my buddies talked me into playing lacrosse where i dislocated my right shoulder and could never throw a ball over 50 mph after that.

  8.  This isn’t my story but a friend of mine,  he was in St.Louis for business during the World Series.  He over slept, packed hurriedly and getting off the elevator when his bag sprung open and all his stuff fell out.  As he scrambled to pick he stuff up someone bend over to give him a hand.  That person was Jim Palmer who was there to do the color commentary on the the broadcast.

    Liked Trouble with the Curve.

    Sugar I also enjoyed.A DR kid adjusting to the United States and minor league ball.

     

    Bang the Drum Slowly I also really like ,but more about life and not a fun movie.

    Sugar was excellent 

  10. My main dislike of Severino is he is swats at pitches outside the strike zone and never positions himself to block pitches. His 10 passed balls were tied for 4th worst in baseball. He has a strong arm but only caught 13 of 55 attempts granted a bunch of them were off the pitchers.  

  11. I have been sitting behind home plate so far at all the home games.  Holiday is impressive, he explodes out of the box on grounders to the infield, frames pitches well and has a good arm.   He has great reaction time blocking pitches. All things we are not familiar with with Serevino and Sisco.  He can also can hit a little.  Severino drives me nuts behind the plate.
