ron883 4,665 Posted February 21, 2019 Anybody else attending this year? I already bought flight tickets and game tickets, so I will be attending regardless. I'm going to enjoy it as much as I can. I'll be there in a week and some change. You'll see me with a paper bag on my head. Kind of disappointed in the forecasted weather. High of 70. Expected more because it is Arizona, but it is still winter I suppose. Should still be a hell of a time with my friends. Looking forward to the atmospher more than anything. Who's going? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justBLAZE 221 Posted February 21, 2019 I'm on the fence, we booked hotel but it is refundable. This Machado thing really a gut punch. Suppose to be there March 12-15, going to be our 3rd year in a row so it's kind of tradition now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a different kind of 70 in the desert. I found CB Ranch to be uncomfortable in the 80's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moan4Yoan 1,824 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) The original problem is still the same — “same FO staff from 2008.” No one has any confidence in Hahn, Kenny, and JR to seize the opportunity and spend money when a perfect time like now becomes available to bring the rebuild to the next level of tacking on established talent.
