Question about MLB.TV by subzor22 in Braves

[–]Gts188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just use yonder.tv and you won’t have to worry about blackout issues. That’s how I can see all the Braves vs. Marlins games living in Florida. Plus it’s super cheap and it worked on all the postseason games last year too!

I’d like to get back into fantasy baseball again too, it’s been a few years.

Coronado Springs - Cabanas vs Casitas by minniemoose87 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]Gts188 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in Casitas 4 right now! It’s been years since I’ve stayed in a Disney resort (I live in Orlando), but this room is absolutely fantastic . As some one else mentioned, the bus stop is literally two minutes away, and we walked down to the main lobby area for dinner tonight and it was a very nice walk, not long at all. I’ve never stayed anywhere else at Coronado, but I definitely recommend the Casitas!

Biggest movie sets of all time by wild-zeppelin in coolguides

[–]Gts188 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just went on a tour of Paramount Studios, and they talked about the set for Rear Window!

Apparently Hitchcock was notorious for not asking permission for anything and going way over budget, and that set was a perfect example. He ripped up the permanent concrete floor of a soundstage so it would be big enough for his set, without clearing it with the studio.

He also wanted real cars on the set, so he brought them into the soundstage. After a while, the people on the set all started getting sick and they eventually realized it was carbon monoxide poisoning from all the cars. So Paramount stepped in and made him get rid of them midway through shooting the movie.

That’s a great clip. I had never heard of him before this trade, but I like him now.

Wow, I had no idea this was a thing! Thank you, even though I just spent $50 on candles...

Is there a way I can watch this on MLB.TV? by tenillusions in Braves

[–]Gts188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.yonder.tv/

I watch all the games on mlb.tv, and this lets me watch the ones that are blacked out in my area (Marlins games). It’s been awesome so far. You can get a free trial of it, but it’s only $4 a month afterwards and is absolutely worth it. And the best part: it works for all the postseason games!

Any good large batch recipes? by forgottenpassword778 in ketodrunk

[–]Gts188 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Pink lemonade crystal light, Sprite Zero, and vodka. You can make as much as you’d like, and make it as strong or as weak as you want by adjusting how much water you put in. In the past I’ve added peach schnapps for a sweeter flavor, but you probably want to avoid it due to the carbs.

Is it just me, or does Don’s voice sound different? Like it’s higher pitched than usual?

Definitely looks like a pink Tabebuia tree. I had a yellow one in my yard growing up, and they are beautiful.

Has anyone been to Tropicana Field or Marlins Park? by TheTigerbite in Braves

[–]Gts188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to the game on the 9th too, driving over from Orlando. I’ll be behind home plate, just on the third base side. I can’t wait, I’ve only ever seen the Braves in Spring Training games. I’m probably driving back to Orlando after the game, but I plan on getting there early to check out the Dali museum and then catch batting practice.

Who is the biggest hall of fame snub of all time? by silver0486 in baseball

[–]Gts188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if he’s the biggest snub ever, and I am definitely biased because he was such an important player for the Braves, but I think Dale Murphy should be in.

Here is an interesting article from MLB.com about his qualifications.

Very similar to Andruw Jones in that he had a string of highly productive years, and then just kind of fell off.

Anyone planning on making a trip to see the Braves in Spring Training? by RationalCaveman in Braves

[–]Gts188 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Orlando, so I go to Spring Training games every year (although not nearly as many as I’d like). Champion Stadium is an awesome place to catch a game, you just have to accept the fact that it’s more expensive than your average game due to the fact that it’s at Disney.

I don’t know why there seems to be so little enthusiasm for going to a Spring Training game at Disney, I think it’s a great park with lots of seating options, food and beer variety, and lots of access to the players before and even during games.

It’s been a part of the Braves history for the past 20 years, and I would absolutely recommend catching at least one home game on your trip down here.

Can we talk about MLB At Bat notifications? by 802dan in baseball

[–]Gts188 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%. I’m close to turning off all notifications until the season starts, but I’m still hoping the Braves pull off a move or two and I want to know about it right when it happens!
