We’re waiving the cover charge. The dress code is casual. We still have a few tables available.

Bring your own beverage. BCB After Dark is the place for you to talk baseball, music, movies, or anything else you need to get off your chest, as long as it is within the rules of the site. The late-nighters are encouraged to get the party started, but everyone else is invited to join in as you wake up the next morning and into the afternoon.

Last night I asked you if you thought Ben Brown should s pend more time (or more innings) as a starter or a reliever in 2026. By a vote of 59 percent to 41 percent, you thought that Brown should stick to the bullpen, at least this year. On Tuesday nights I don’t generally write about movies.
