The Oakland A’s attendance yesterday: 2,703. Lowest since 1980. There triple A team in Vegas drew more on the same night. That team is going to end up in Vegas; Nashville; or Portland.

Embarrassing. Though that city doesn't seem to care about it's sports teams. Warriors move to San Fran, Raiders leave to Vegas and now when do the A's move?

Interesting article on that:

It's like the plot of Major League

Yankees intentionally walking Miggy with 2,999 hits is beyond stupid. At least Meadows made them pay for it.

The playoffs should just be the NL West vs the AL East

Why is this stupid? Just because he's at 2999? Would it matter if he was 2998 or less or more than 3000? Hate the Yankees, but Boone's job isn't to make sure Miggy has a chance at 3000.

It's not like this was only chance today...He went 0-3, he could've gotten his 3000 in one those at bats...

Agreed! If this was a late season meaningless game that didn’t impact standings or playoff positioning then sure, whatever. I hate the Yankees but the uproar about this is absurd.

If the Jays were to cater their game management around an opponents milestone I would be demanding a new manager

Why the AL East? The top team in the AL East has the same record as the top team in the AL West.

At the end of the season, there will be 2 divisions that are much, much stronger than any others, the AL East and the NL West.

Thought that was pretty obvious.

Ah so you were going by team payroll, gotcha. I don't think Baltimore fits your bill though.

@FOS:
A group led by 3x World Series champion Dave Stewart is preparing a $2 billion bid for an MLB expansion franchise in Nashville, per @ESPN.

The proposed 'Nashville Stars' would become the first majority minority-owned team in MLB history. https://t.co/wAjKK6eU9P

You don't see players losing their #### anymore. I do miss that from pre-2000's where players and coaches would go bananas in their ejections. Schwarber did it old school.


And yes, this year the umping has been universally bad. It like they want to fast track getting automated.

Hernandez is the worst of the lot.

That said, the first pitch of the above two is a lot worse then the Schwarber one, which is a pretty good pitch where the pitch tracker had it, and a slider coming across the plate, so many umps would call that...so that's a little over dramatic of a reaction.

I think his point is Hernandez is so inconsistent no one has any idea where his strike zone is. He’s all over the map.

Really digging the city connect jerseys MLB is coming out with for different teams in drips and drabs. Probably the best looking in sports.

Schwarber was also rung up on an iffy pitch in the 6th, can't find it though.
