OldTimer’s Dugout - Off Topic Thread

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I put in the request for Braves tickets today.
Keep your fingers crossed.
My first pick was Houston, followed by the Mets(1st of October and could decide the NL east), Phillies and then last, the Marlins, just in case I can’t get tix for the other series’

No way, I bet OldTimer gives away peppermints.

I'll take those double-mint twins (girls) they advertise.

My papaw used to always have horehound candy. I thought it was the weirdest name ever for candy.

Just add a “W” to the beginning and you’ve got the best name for a candy




In all seriousness, horehound is a plant in the mint family that is native to Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Look like Vandy Boys…

He’s leading the league in saves. If that’s a down year, then the friars came out winners!

He has a career 15.4 K/9IP That’s better than Craig Kimbrel and Aroldis Chapman!

4 core everyday players locked up for several years and Ozzie and Acuna are way below market value. Braves are setting themselves up to be contending throughout the decade.

Are the Braves still in the hunt for Ohtani? Anyone have an update w/that?

Highly unlikely he is getting traded. Will be a better chance he gets dealt in the offseason or next year’s trade deadline.

For those that don’t know, it stated in the press release that Riley would be donating $2.12M to the Atlanta Braves Foundation. I think it is awesome that the majority of players donate at least 1% of their contract to that foundation. They do some really great things in the community and also help try to grow the game of baseball.

Love the umpire one.
Umpires were chosen from the crowd, were given an easy chair close to home plate, and were given food and beer during the game.

Sign me up
