I thought this would be interesting in light of the suggestion in the other thread that baseball stadiums should stop selling beer. I might be in favor of limiting how many beers can be sold to a fan -- maybe have a device to scan your ticket and you can't purchase more than two or three.

1. You must be independently wealthy.

2. I hope someone else was driving!

My wife was driving. Actually nobody drives. When I go to Camden Yards we usually get a hotel room.

I'm not that wealthy. My wife and I both work. I like to have some fun. 7 beers is only around 40 bucks.

You would have to have a poll for it to be anonymous, but I will bite. I am changing my answer to professional baseball game, since I go to more Giants games because I live on that side of the country.

I have on average 5/20oz or 22 oz, forget. I also dont cause problems, and I take the Caltrain home.

I am serious. It was all for me.

I am with you. I can pack the beers down as well and not be a blubbering fool. They probably go down a bit quicker for me at the game than anywhere else. Dont want people dropping stuff in it or getting knocked over. So I hold on to it and drink it.

There is a poll, it just didn't get posted until a minute or two after the OP. Nothing I can do about that.

I have no more than two beers, for two reasons: (1) I'm usually driving from DC, and (2) I'm at the age where if I have more than two beers, I feel crummy the next morning. It used to take about 10 beers for me to feel it the next day, back when I was in my 20's, but unfortunately those days are long gone.

I usually will have 4 or 5 if I'm with my buddy, only 2 or 3 if I'm with my son. We get there

well before the game starts, and are there right to the end, so there is usually a substantial

amount of time to consume them! I don't cause any problems, I'm a pretty mellow guy that

just loves the combination of beer and baseball! And no, I don't drive (we too have a local

hotel room).

If we are going to count Pickles pre-game the choices are going to need to be bumped up or the data set will be skewed.

No, I'm not counting Pickles. Stadium vendors can't monitor what you had to drink before you enter the stadium, so that's irrelevant to the idea of limiting in-game consumption.

      The 2023 attendance thread

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I’ve been to 9 games. All game day buys or a day before. The O’s run a pretty good promotion… buy 1 ticket get a ticket for any other game/in any other seat for 30% off.  Those type of deals matter.

      Is Adley’s defense noticeably worse this year?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Same pitch clock and rule changes for all teams, but running on Adley is up considerably more than league average.   I do think the word is out on a couple of our pitchers.   Bautista has allowed 7 steals without anyone betting caught; Baumann has allowed 6 with none caught.   On the other end of the spectrum, runners have failed in 4 of 6 attempts against Kremer, and 4 of 5 against Baker.   Interestingly, only 8 runners tried against Bautista last year, and 2 of them failed; 3 of 4 failed against Baumann.

      Giants Series

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We’re alright. No LH SP either that we’re facing. Seems like the first series in forever without a LH SP. Big OF though. Will Santa and O’Hearn be ok in RF?   For this series if we play O’Hearn all three I think we make up for the offense missed by Mullins.    OPS wise   Hicks and O’Hearn(RF) = Mullins and Vavra I like Vavra but we cannot afford to carry his OPS and his questionable role with Mullins out. He’s a “luxury???” we cannot afford.

      Is this a veiled Grateful Dead reference? If so, I like it.

      MLB Pipeline's Top 100 2023 Draft Prospects

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      I did not disagree with Kjerstad and Cowser, and said so after their selections and some time to process it. I initially wanted other players there, but when their draft was done I saw what they did and liked it. The under slot plan there was good, because the slot provided much more room to work with. Not the same thing this year at #17. It was a smart play each time, despite the fan backlash. Elias was in a much different position then, IMO, not only draft-capital-wise, but organizationally. They are obviously well-stocked with very good depth at the higher minors. They have shown they can draft and develop young high-end position players in Gunnar Henderson and Coby Mayo, but I am not too sure how much credit they deserve for the development of Jackson Holliday yet. He seems to have been extremely polished before he got here. Their development of young pitchers is a big question mark to me. We don’t have much to go on as far as kids they have drafted, except the Carter Baumler kid, and he has struggled to be able to stay on the mound. Do we give the Elias regime credit for the development of Grayson and DL? I think so, but are we as confident they can develop pitching as well as position players? Does any organization develop a high number of high school pitchers to be MLB contributors? I am struggling to think of any. Maybe St. Louis or LA Dodgers, but does anyone really do that well anymore? Internationally is very different, and it’s obviously the Astros have made a living in that realm recently. This draft has a lot of higher end HS guys that should be available at #17. These are the guys that could be top 5 picks when they get drafted again in three years. They can take them now and have them ready for MLB sooner, and they cost less. They are riskier, absolutely. A college bat is safer, and not necessary less-talented. The Brayden Taylor kid looks interesting from what I have read, but I have not seen him at all. I have learned to trust the draft process under Elias and crew. They have proven to be excellent in their evaluations and development. I think they know themselves very well and play to their organizational strengths. It will be interesting to see who they take in this situation. My hope for a high end high school talent is mostly because I am a fan of player development. I like the successful transition of talented young players from high school star to MLB all star for Baltimore. Holliday is looking to be a great story to me. Henderson seems to be as well. There is a lot of failure along the way for players and organizations, but when they find the right ones who are equipped with the fortitude to see it through its a great story. I’m gonna name-drop for a second. Back in 2013 Spring Training with the Nationals, Bryce Harper told my son and I once that he was just lucky to be a major leaguer. He said that there was very talented players all along the way who never make it. He kept saying how lucky he was. To be honest, I thought he was being disingenuous in his comments to my son and I, at the time. I thought he was falsely modest to teach my son about how hard it is. I mean, he was a star at 16 years old. But I have learned that he really felt that way, and he was wise to see it that way. So many things can go wrong. When they actually make it big, it’s been a hard road, and they were lucky along the way as well. So many can’t miss guys actually miss.

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Yes, those are the metrics that Frobby referenced in the OP. I agree, it is hard to know how accurate they are. Could be a case of garbage in-garbage out. Regarding blocking, it's hard to believe Adley would go from #1 last year to average that quickly. If you count the whole time period of 2022-23 he is still #2.
