Has anyone heard if Chattanooga has made any move towards stadium TV since the Reds partnered with them? They were/are like the only AA team that doesn't have home TV coverage, which stinks for those of us with MiLB TV packages.
I tended to watch Pensecola's games last year more than any other affiliate, because it seemed that many of the more interesting prospects were located there. I think that will be true in Chattanooga this year.

I went to the team name/logo reveal event last night. And...Wichita WindSurge
On the plus side, there was free beer.
Who's their parent team? Will they begin play this (2020) year?
They're the Marlins AAA team starting in 2020. I got my deposit in early enough to be #32 on the list to pick seats. Whenever that happens.
What is a "Wind Surge?" Maybe it's a thing, but I can't say in all my meteorology years I've ever heard the term before.I went to the team name/logo reveal event last night. And...Wichita WindSurge

Why not go with "Gust Front" or "Derecho" instead? Weird.

The idea was to honor (or whatever) the legacy of wind in Wichita's past (windmills, wind wagons, the fact that playing golf here is absurd because the wind is always blowing, etc.) while evoking the "surge" in Wichita through growth, emphasis on technology, whatever.
Yes, it's stupid. Some of the merch (that doesn't include the full name) isn't too bad, though.
Looks like Kirstie Alley isn't on board, and if Kirstie's not on board it's trouble in these parts ():

Maybe they went with Wind Surge because they plan to do both Taco Tuesday and Taco Thursday.

Lived in Wichita for a couple years. They used to have an indoor soccer team called the Wichita Wings. *Cessna real big there. At least they used to be.

Both the Wings and Cessna are still things here. As a matter of fact, the Wichita Wings responded to Kristie on Twitter. As you can imagine, they like her suggestion.
I guess it's kinda like a redhawk . There's no such thing as a redhawk either but an educational institution settled on naming themselves that
