I haven't been listening to the whole thing, but it sounds like he is pretty resigned to the move.

True. There is plenty of the blame to go around. At the end of the day, the city didn't give the Braves enough reasons to stay. I'm not saying the city isn't to blame, just that it's sad.

There are plenty of people that live in the City of Atlanta (proper) that don't like the move for a couple reasons. One, this location will be more inconvenient for many (though it will be more convenient for many more). Also, there are people that realize how this could affect downtown...

Yep. It will upset people who live south of town or near Turner field, but this will help the majority and will improve attendance. Only having 42,000 seats will help too.

If it means a couple big FA signings, I'm all for a corporate handle.

As a landlord, the City is required to keep it in decent shape, though they clearly won't be doing any upgrades. Unless there are hopes of a future olympic bid (which has been rumored), I can't imagine any solution other than tearing it down. It's not like the Gwinnett Braves will be moving south.

Is there any need for a retractable roof? Do we have a major problem with any of the following issues: 1) Rain outs 2) Rain delays 3) Extreme temperatures With the way they can drain the field these days, I don't see any need for a roof.

There have been talks of a MARTA line to Cobb for years, but Cobb has always rejected the idea. With this coming, they may be more willing to consider it.

It's all here. http://homeofthebraves.com/overview/

New location.

Here's a visual that explains why they are moving. The new stadium will be situated in the heart of Braves Country. Each red dot on this map represents a ticket sold to a Braves game in 2012

It really depends on whether there are some plans in the work for a Cobb County MARTA line. I think that is the main thing the team didn't like about current location. Why bother being downtown if there isn't a viable public transit option? There have been rumors about a MARTA line up 75...

The Falcons aren't leaving downtown.

They won a one game playoff "series" this year. Obviously that shouldn't count, but as far as the record book is concerned, the Pirates have won a playoff series more recently than the Braves.

Did you ask him why he scheduled his charity golf tournament during the World Series? What was his plan if TB had made it?

Didn't Game 1 start at 8:37?

Elliot Johnson will be in the lineup tonight.

Well, it's not like we have a guy with 20+ HRs that isn't in this game........oh, wait....

He could take him out right now and that may already be true.

It's hard for a pitcher not to depend on a routine fly ball to left being caught. It's not Gattis' fault - he literally couldn't catch that ball. But any other outfielder on the team would have.
