With a semi-retractable roof. Seems dangerous to not have that thing fully retractable. I would love to catch a Cleveland game there...but not if its 120 degrees in July and that roof cant shut completely for AC

She’s not ugly
Neither is the sister in law
posted by justincredibleSo the A's are moving to Vegas, huh?
Is it going to to be an indoor facility? Got to be unreal there in the summer
Next question is where will the Rays be playing
Then add two more teams...Charlotte, SLC, Nashville? fuck Portland
Then I think they should be geographic divisions: NE, Mid-west, South, West
Travel would be better and rivalries would improve
Salaries for this year….all are retired
Padres in Mexico City in their rainbow sherbet city connect uniforms? Yes please.
16 runs…..
Nelson Cruz 5 for 6 with 4 rbi and an SB
Oof.

One thing I've noticed is that, this year, there are just some utterly horrible teams, at least in the early going. The lame duck "about to move cities" A's are the rock-bottomest of them, but Chi Sox, Royals, Nats and Rockies all seem to be contenders for 100+ losses right now.posted by justincredible

Heretic now that the Pirates are good.
Damn straight! It's good to not be in that group, especially when I occasionally get a very depressing stat about what the team was last year. Like how they won their 20th game yesterday and, last year, it was about the very end of May when they got #20.posted by justincredible

Padres are must watch for me. Tatis back and having a blast. Soto is so fun. Nelson Cruz…Manny. Croneworth is an all out player. Cool unis. I like em
How did this get so bad?
You've probably heard that Oakland's AAA affiliate often brings in more fans than the MLB team.

But last night's Oakland A’s game only had 2,583 fans, which is less than their AAA, AA, and A+ affiliates averaged last season.
This has become a disaster.

1. Club has habit of trading away every good player, creating cycles where they're good for a while and then bad for a while, as young guys acclimate to the bigs. Going off the last 20+ years, they've been good from 1999-2006, bad from 2007-11, good from 2012-14, bad from 2015-17, good from 2018-21 and bad last year and this year. With good meaning over .500 in this case to simplify things.
2. Fans get tired of the situation where no home-grown (or prospect traded for) player ever is a career A, because if they're good enough to warrant a good contract, they will wind up somewhere else, so they eventually lose interest. Something that adds to that is that even when they've had those good stretches, they haven't been to the World Series since the days of the Bash Brothers (88-90), so I'd guess the fan base is thinking that if they worked to build on those good stretches instead of being concerned about payroll and bringing in the next group of young guys, maybe they could have gotten over the hump.
It's really a far more pronounced version of what happens in Cleveland and Pittsburgh, where fans know the ownership is cheap, so they don't start packing the park unless it's good weather and the team is doing well. But those two at least have been putting efforts into locking up their stars. In Oakland, Jose Ramirez would have been traded a couple years ago, as would Bryan Reynolds last year or over the off-season.
They also have been rumored to be moving for awhile, and now that its official, no fucking way do I give them my money.
That stadium is a shithole. No way would I want to attend a game there if I had already been to one in the past.

It is an absolute shit hole. I remember getting off the train and crossing the walking bridge with razor wire along the top. Felt like a prison.
I will say, the food was legit. I remember specifically the pulled pork nachos in a helmet.
But that was 10 years ago.
Not MLB but this is wild.
Championship ends with two runs scoring on a dropped strike three while the other team is celebrating thinking they won.

Dumb as hell
Looks like the 2nd baseman was the only person on defense that knew what was happening.
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a strike 3 called that was dropped lol.
The A’s are 10-45
Terrible strike 3 call. The catcher actually puts the ball into his back pocket as he celebrates.
