Yep;  been a foregone conclusion for a while now.

 

Fans in Oakland crying about it and naturally everyone is blaming the owner, but when 3 major sports franchises bolt your city within five years, maybe it's time to take a closer look at the actions of your elected officials during the process.

 

 

 

 

Edit:  when possums start moving in to the broadcast booth, it's a good time to think about leaving.

Last few years I've gone to a Red Sox game with my BIL when we're on the east coast.  A couple years ago we saw this guy throw 7 no hit innings;  there wasn't a single good swing on any pitch he threw.  He gave up a lead off hit in the 8th, Boone immediately pulled him, and Boston scored five times against the bullpen and won 5-4.

1) I wonder if the pitcher used his “3 throw overs” before the runner stole second (I hate that rule).

2) he stole third and home because of the stupid shift vs. lefties. Bravo.

He and O’Neill Cruz are going to make middle infield in the NL Central electric for quite a while.

I hate modern baseball. The brain dead managers are all the same.

At least they (the Yankees) fired the batting coach 🙄

That will make those multi millionaires take 2 and go to right.

Was the pitcher pretending to be Joe Biden after getting the ball back from the catcher?  Maybe he was just having a small seizure?  That is a nearly criminal lack of awareness of his surroundings.

MLB Home Run Derby

It was great to see Randy throwing to his son Adley

@snafu That's how it's done. 😁🍻

Also, Julio was electric in the 1st round at his home field.

I'm happy they recognized the mess they created and dumped everyone they could.  Usually they'd just keep doubling down.

Not a Mets fan  (go Cubbies!)  but I feel bad for Showalter, he's a real baseball guy.
