That is exactly where I am going with any plan taking a number of years to build up to the type of following you hope for longer term. You aren't going to do all of this and draw 4 million people.

The FAQ slides talk about the maintenance building's height. When combined with the existing viaduct height, it'll be about half the height of Rate Field. The slide about traffic and access says employee and contractor parking will be "on site within the yard's existing allocations. No permanent off-site parking needed". Does that mean that they will not be needing to take over part of Lots C and G other than during construction? The slide also says "Amtrak is coordinating with the ballpark's stakeholders so construction preserves access and parking." https://mwmaintenancefacility.com/viewer.html?d=faq-supplement&y=1200

Toronto winning 2 out of 3 would be best scenario.

Toronto all day. We don’t want Texas catching the Astros as Houston has the tie breaker over us.

Straight through the ALCS baby

Vasil threw off flat ground today, good step forward for him. We will need him next season.

I mean, there is zero reason not to give him an offseason to work on changes and hope he can provide some value next year. While he has been god awful, his pure stuff is much better than what James Shields had when we acquired him. Not suggesting he isn’t cooked, but if you eat the contract you might as well do so next year.

5th times the charm

Sure, but Tatis Jr. turned out to be better than everyone Hahn acquired for stripping down the entire team. That turned out to be a Top Ten bad trade of all time.

Tonight, Cleveland is facing the pitcher who gave up the triple to Peters to secure the cycle. He’s got a solid 7.08 ERA, and the A’s have lost the last 10 games he has appeared in. He wasn’t starting until his last four outings. None of those four went well for him.

When elephants fight, it's the grass that gets trampled. or as Thucydides’ said "The strong do what they can and the weaker suffer what they must." Millionaires fighting with billionaires and the people who will lose the most, the fans, will passionately take sides, instead of banding together to tell both sides to f*** off.

Gonna need some high tier work from Sandlin and the bats really need to come alive for more than just 1 inning moving forward.

I like it. Only 2 things I would probably change are Chase hitting leadoff bumping everyone down a spot and then switching Pham and Grich

I hope we could be changing the title to "What Broke Mune Out"

It seems like for most of the mega contracts teams "win" the first end of the contract and the player "wins" the second. Some fans would rather see a contract 30-30-20-20-10-10 instead of 20 a year for six years to match the stats. With by spreading the payroll out you have more room early when the player is at his peak, plus future money is cheaper than today's money.

A lefty starter is probably why. And also, overall good OF defense out there tonight.

My cardiologist approves of this message.

They don't, but it's a bit more nuanced. He tinkers with his stance/setup a lot. His Opening Day stance that everyone is using as a benchmark was markedly different from his stance even 2 weeks afterward

Love sam but if that's true, yea, take a seat for a minute rookie.

I thought the same thing. Could it be that Sam took it upon himself to position himself in short left field when the team wanted him playing deeper? I have heard some small chatter about that. Interesting

Why is Pham getting playing time over Antonacci?? I swear Venable trying to lose this thing

Oh yeah I don't care at all. He just seemed like a good, fiery guy last year. Had no idea he was a goofball.

Sam sitting a 3rd straight game. Is he being punished for his poor route in the outfield against CLE.

Have you been in a coma since 2019?
