I've worked with these guys for a long time and know them pretty well, and it absolutely sounds like "if we can't have it, then neither can you." Very unfortunate.

They said every person in their office has to wear proximity bracelets that buzz when they are standing too close to someone. Wtf

I think it will be open more than everyone thinks

We will keep it closed all day to keep it cool, then open it right before the game starts. That cool air is more dense than warm air, and will continue to circulate through the seating bowl. #science

Which is why an artificial surface makes sense. To keep the grass alive, they'd need to keep it open all day, close around 4 PM and crank the A/C. Now we can have an outdoor feel more often.

If you really want to know why the artificial surface makes sense, lets just ask Mr. Gigem how many events/games they have been running through there the last three weeks.

That will provide your answer.

I'd be shocked if they didn't have a mask requirement.

I don't have any insider info on this (yet), but it actually would not shock me if the policy is "not required, but encouraged"

Should we go ahead and trade him now while he's on a hot streak?

This is what I keep thinking. I hope he is the power threat he was always supposed to be. He's got to say healthy. And he is a power threat but he's also a career .208 hitter. He's got to do better than that.

He's apparently using a new bat where the weight is evenly distributed throughout. His other bat was more top heavy

Gallo is a .230 hitter that will strike out 3 times every 2 games and give you about 40HRs/90RBIs. He puts up big homers and if the game is to score runs... he doesn't do that very well, either. Not for a #3 or #4 hitter.

Career: 473 G, .208, 120 HR, 262 R, 262 RBI, 672 SO, .327 OBP

Gallo: 1516 AB, 5.79 AB/Runs; 5.79 AB/RBI

He is Chris "Crush" Davis.



If it's 2013 Chris Davis, then I'll take it!
