Was anyone else on the conference call with Jim Powell and Frank Wren last week? Pretty cool! I was too nervous to ask a question.
November 5th, 2013 at 12:08 pm
Leah – I was not. What were the highlights?
November 5th, 2013 at 2:58 pm
I enjoyed his thoughts on minor league players. His confidence in the young pitcher’s we have in particular. He seemed totally bummed about not going further in the post season. He wasn’t able to even watch until last few games prior to interview. He acknowledged needing to get BJ hitting. Whatever that took. Seemed to want to assure fans it was a priority.
That’s what I remember, it was a long time ago for my old brain. How do we feel about Hudson’s non-qualifying offer? I’ll miss Huddy when he’s playing for the Royals.
November 5th, 2013 at 2:59 pm
I like to be annoying as possible.
November 6th, 2013 at 3:46 pm
If the interest in Huddy is really to be believed, then I’d say he’s gone. The Braves only offered 1 year which seems exactly right to me. 2 years seems foolish. I predict Cleveland for Huddy. I can see Francona being the kind of guy that Huddy would like to play for.
November 6th, 2013 at 3:46 pm
Also – will it be more painful for people if Mac ends up with the Yankees then, say, TEX or BOS?
November 6th, 2013 at 4:02 pm
Yes. Excruciatingly so.
November 6th, 2013 at 10:16 pm
Anything else you wanna talk about Steve?
November 7th, 2013 at 10:07 am
It would be crushing to see Mac in a Yankee uniform.

Brandon Phillips keeps tweeting about being in Atlanta. Going up North but coming back soon. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
November 7th, 2013 at 5:38 pm
@60 – He may just be talking about visiting his folks who live in the Atlanta area. And he went to high school here. Speaking of, his family has a baseball training facility about 20 minutes outside of the city. My 13 year old has started going there. It is awesome. I haven’t met the dad yet but I’ve meet Jamil (Brandon’s brother who played in the minors) and he is great.
November 8th, 2013 at 10:58 am
As much as I would rather have Phillips instead of Uggla the Braves would be stupid to make that trade . Phillips’ contract is 2 years longer with more money attached
November 10th, 2013 at 12:38 am
Preach it……@62! I agree with u 100%
November 11th, 2013 at 9:30 am
All hail the Cobb Braves.

November 11th, 2013 at 9:40 am
New stadium…what do we think? Did you guys see this coming?
November 11th, 2013 at 10:23 am
I think it’s a good move.
On an unrelated note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ox1Tore9nw
November 11th, 2013 at 10:55 am
I just hope they keep the Turner field design of a fair park that slightly favors pitching. Not these little league parks where a pop fly is a homer. Cough cough … Citizens Bank.
November 11th, 2013 at 11:17 am
Marta should probaly be extended to Cobb now unless theres a reason Cobb wouldnt want marta. Hmmmm. I know the reason but I wont say.
November 11th, 2013 at 12:39 pm
Leah – no
Bub – I disagree
Walker – Cobb County has had 100 opportunities to have MARTA extend to them, they’ve rejected every one of them. That won’t change with this.
November 11th, 2013 at 10:22 pm
I’m not touching the facebook page thread about this with a ten foot pole.
November 12th, 2013 at 6:08 am
You mean throne guy who opposes it and the 26 telling him how stupid he is? That one?
November 12th, 2013 at 7:42 am
Throne guy?
The ONE guy
November 12th, 2013 at 10:15 am
There’s good in it, but I hate it. It’s ridiculous that Atlanta doesn’t have good public transportation. It’s ridiculous that we’re becoming more and more like Dallas with the unending urban sprawl. It’s ridiculous that we just couldn’t figure out how to keep a pro team in the city. Hate it. Of course, I’m sure the stadium will be great and 100x better than the Ted.
November 12th, 2013 at 2:37 pm
@71 I’m a bit gun shy of the racial card being played. You know how that gets me in trouble.
@73 I’m just selfish enough to like the location due to it being 20 minutes closer to my house. That’s really all I care about. And I’m excited about restaurants around the stadium.
