Just to prove I am not even exaggerating.

His literally one of the worst every day players in the game

Tigers: 2-9 when Baez gets yanked from a game for losing track of outs.

Baez has lost track of outs 11 times? Worse than Wojo!

[tower912]

Just the once.  He got yanked and chewed and the Tigers started playing better.

I have found my interactions with ghosts amusing, entertaining, and fascinating.  Different strokes for different folks.

"Ghosts in the machine"?

[The Sultan]

"Ghosts in the machine"?

Not bad but I preferred Zenyatta Mondatta.

Nah.  Synchronicity.


Sultan beat me to it.   Curses.

Do the A's have a clue? At this point they will be playing in Schaumburg.

What am I missing? At first blush, building a stadium on the southeast end of the strip sounds sick.

Of course they do.

The Owners bought the team for $180 million. It's now worth about $1.2 billion , which will go up after moving to Vegas. According to Forbes, they were the 5th most profitable team in MLB last year. That is success.

Two weeks ago they announced a done deal location. Two days ago, they announced a different done deal location. In Oakland, they announced at least three done deal locations, maybe four if you include Santa Clara. Meanwhile, their current lease runs out at the end of next season. Maybe the grown ups at Bally's can bring this one home for Kaval this time. Clown Show

Fertilizing the money tree.

Could be, we'll see but it will be by falling up. Five years playing in 120 degree heat at the minor league stadium might not be so profitable.  The Montreal Expos were better run.

I know you're being purposefully hyperbolic, but stadium capacity issues are the only real factor IMO.  Vegas gets hot, sure, but it's only CRAZY hot in Jun-Aug, and as anyone who has been there knows, it's pretty mild at night.  Most MLB teams play 50-60 day games in a year.  Half of those at home during 40ish percent of the season and you're really only looking at 20ish potential HOT games.  And I think a lot of that gets mitigate by tourist attendance that will be a big part of any Vegas teams attendance

Also, wouldn't the do a retractable roof that would cool it down for those times?

I also feel the amount of people making summer trips to Vegas to see their team would help attendance.

He was talking specifically about the time until they could get a stadium built, but then yes, obviously any Vegas ballpark would be retractable like FL or AZ

Twins finally had some offense today.

The starting pitching continues to be a blast to watch. Completely new territory as a Twins fan.

Joe Ryan now has a stunning 57:7 K to BB rate

Please just sit the guy. He doesnt care. He flails at every pitch outside the zone. He got paid thats all he wanted. Send a damn message.

Dylan fu cking Covey made him look bad.

But what do you really think of Correa? All this time, it's been difficult to get an accurate gauge of your feelings about him.

The same as anyone who watches baseball, or can even read baseball stats

Nope, I've watched 40/44 games.
