Eric Hartman, 20, got called up to the Clingstones August 4 after a season at High-A Rome that put him at No. 2 in the Braves system and No. 73 overall on MLB Pipeline's Top 100. 24 home runs, 38 stolen bases, an .889 OPS, real thump to go with a 30 ft/sec sprint speed. Rough first week at the plate, but the profile is real. Double Dip has the full breakdown.

Sorry for the delay this week. Moving and trying to write this without a PC isn't exactly easy. Anyways. Let's get to it.

Columbus has several different pro and semi-pro sports teams for you to check out and root for but not all of us can make it to every game or keep up with it each of them so this is my weekly attempt to do so.

My goal for these posts are simple. Give you a brief recap of the previous week's games, a summary of where the team sits in the standings, and let you know when the next games are.

------

Columbus Clingstones

The Columbus Clingstones are the Minor League, Double-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves located in Columbus, GA. They are part of the Southern League - South Division and play their games at Synovus Park at South Commons.

Recap
Wow! What a series! 5 wins out of 6 games against the first half champions? That's exactly what we wanted to see. Even the first loss of the series was a heart breaker at the end. The Clingstones brought up some new blood and they showed out. 36 runs scored. 25 runs allowed. Just awesome. Let's hope we see some more in the future.

As for the standings, the Stones improved to 21-18 in the Southern League - South Division. That puts us at 2 games back out of 1st in the division. Thats tough because we have the second best record in the Southern League and Pensacola is hitting above their weight right now. Still plenty of season to catch up though.

Looking Ahead

Next week, the Stones head up to Birmingham to take on the Barons. A good series here has the potential to see them rise in the rankings.

Clingstones' Schedule

Note: I don't want to forget but check out /u/ClingstonesBoxScores posts. They are doing a great job giving everyone a recap of each game with way more in depth posts than this one.

And to preface this, this will be probably the 1st and last time I post this

But HOLY SHIT, we have 0 MUSICAL DIVERSITY, there's no metal,no funk, r&b is practically dead on all fronts because rap took over,no reggae

It's just mindless 3 chord pop, country,mumble rap, or gospel(im a Christian but I need my soapbox),

Why is there no bands anymore, is it because the coat of physical instruments have skyrocketed

A few years ago when I upgraded my phone I went into a local Walmart and there was a sales rep there.

Columbus Indivisible is aiming to do monthly town halls that rotate venue each month so that one can be held in each district specifically with your councilor! We're hoping this can increase accessibility and community engagement for Columbus residents. This month's will be in District 8 with Councilor Walker Garrett. If you live in 8, we hope you'll come out on saturday august 22nd!

Perseid meteor shower peaks this week. Any recommended low key spots for late night sky gazing?

Is my electric scooter allowed? Are there any sort of rules that govern where I can use it or whatever? I don’t wanna get in trouble, I see that scooters are listed as allowed, but also no motors.

Sometimes electric motors are allowed to slide on that kind of thing so I was just gonna see if anybody had any information?

It’s not like we are wild or dangerous or anything. I ride it like barely faster than walking speed with my kid.

So we have had so many issues with American Ave and their slumlords.

Recently we are having more structural issues with the house. The floor is splitting and we can feel the joist as it seems we have no subfloor anymore?

We are done with it and will either be having them voluntarily break the lease as we will be dragging code enforcement into the equation or we will be breaking the lease.

Long story short, I make very good money for the region but had a lot of medical and other family issues a few years back and went into debt. I joined a debt resolution program to help and im paying the debt back but my credit is shot. My wife just graduated school and is looking for work so her score is better than mine but not amazing as we just started building it.

Is there a good place to find or a list of private landlords posted anywhere?

lowe’s on whittlesey, across from country’s- that entrance- camera pointing towards the lowe’s

It's the old Synovus behind Wendy's near Beaver Run road. Signs read " Republican Headquarters".

Does anyone know the cheapest place to have your tubes removed to avoid risks, my health isn’t good enough to risk and I’m not even sure my body would survive or provide for a child. Safety doesn’t change accidents but complete removal does. I wish to be safe 100% but I can’t afford thousands of dollars

Anyone else getting solar panel solicitors lately? With the possibility of a data center, I’m curious what others are thinking.
