To all the tailgaters in Milwaukee: slow the fuck down. You’ve been going hard since 10AM. The game isn’t for another 3.5 hours. You’re not going to remember it. @Brewers

Hi Bryan! The rest of our trip went great. I actually didn't make it to any other live games this season, but got to see my Padres once again make the playoffs with a team just good enough to get past the first round but no further.

Nice! Wish they'd had these hats ready when we visited vs. just the "Hill City" script

It makes a lot of sense for this team and system. Not much disruption to the color scheme and mascot, retaining a clear connection to the @Cardinals. Very much like the @smokiesbaseball, which Studio Simon also worked on along the way.

Against any of the other NL teams, I'd be rooting for them. The Pads took 4 of 6 in the season series, including a sweep at home. Should be fun.

I never buy a hat when we go to the MLB ballparks. It just doesn't feel right. I was sorely tempted by the maroon beauty the @Phillies wear with their powder- blues, but we were rained out that day. 😀 And there's zero chance I could bring myself to buy a @Dodgers hat.

I regretted not getting a hat when I saw the Honey Hunters there and picked up a decent knock-off years later. That ballpark/community may be better suited for the Coastal Plain League

Fun additional fact: That game also featured 6'7" left-hander A.J. Puk and 6'11" righty Sean Hjelle on the mound.

One joy of following @MiLB is watching prospects make it to the majors. On my first baseball road trip in California in 2019, I watched Jesus Luzardo pitch three scoreless innings for the @stocktonports, and today he started Game 1 for the @Phillies mappingthepath.com/day-1-sto…
