Around Baseball 2022

Oakland A's have dipped below 10,000 per game in attendance and it's trending steadily downward. Photos of stands during a game last month:

Can’t believe you missed the best photo from OCo…. Guy getting his knob polished in the upper deck

Oakland needs to move / get new ownership who gives a s***. That's embarrassing.

 

Youre half right. I think ownership does care, but keeps getting hamstrung by their local government and San Francisco. Their latest proposal for a new stadium was amazing, and got s*** on. it was a massive 12 billion dollar project that would have been less than 10% publicly funded (850 million) and it got s*** on, though it's not completely dead yet.

Nice, can buy a cheap seat and move up.

Pujols just hit 694

148 wRC+ on the season. That's absolutely insane.

Yeah it’s only a matter of time before they move to Vegas, IMO. The stadium is a dump and everyone knows it. If they can’t get a new one then no point staying there.

Angels beat the Yanks

Giants release Ken Giles. He must be cooked.

Giles signed a minor league deal with the Giants. Absolutely failure by the Jays not ti give him an MLB Deal.

 

Blue Jays FO >> Jonn

At what point does Oakland’s AAA team in Vegas pass the the A’s mlb in attendance average?

 

Oakland MLB about a 10k average and the Aviators at just about 7k average

Verlander placed on IL. Non-throwing related though at least. Hope he's not out for an extended period of time.

Wouldn't it be smarter for the team to just shut him down until postseason atm?

Though I suppose he'll have a say against that cause of the Cy Young bid

Calf injury so they can be an issue that keeps popping up over and over. 15 day Il can still be extended, it's not like they have to activate him after 15 days.

You don't want to shut down Verlander completely until the Postseason. Starting pitchers need to pitch every 5th day to keep them fresh and sharp. A long layoff likely hurts him more than helps. So hopefully he can come back on the 13th and can get #2-3 starts in before the Postseason.

Yes, especially since it's not his arm that's the problem...

Calf injury and baseball don't mix.

Shane McClanahan scratched today?!?!

 

Just before the game. Shoulder problem...

[Laika]

Catastrophic timing for the Rays and my fantasy team

 

McClanahan has been less amazing lately I bet this has been affecting him for a few weeks

And right up there with art, high end collectibles are basically nothing but money laundering.

Orioles slowly completing their master plan of moving the LF wall back onto the road to neuter RHBs and stocking up on LHBs who will also not be shifted against once MLB changes the rules.
