I think y'all have the partially part mixed up. I believe it's a closed roof stadium that only opens partially. In the pics it's open but the infield side is still covered.
This would make more sense.

I usually stay at the MGM when I go, so this would be a blast. Can't wait to visit if this happens.

Those are rails along that outfield wall. I think the roof is in several sections and rotates around to enclose the stadium.

So have they confirmed that they're gonna keep the Athletics name?

I hope so. They have been the A's for 120+ years.

Changing the name would be a travesty, but this isn't even a done deal yet.

A partially retractable roof seems really dumb


And apparently Kemp will still be with them based on the Jumbotron. I feel bad for him. Wish he would be able to get out of that place.

Crazy that Kemp is in his last year of arbitration. Wonder if he will get some decent money somewhere as a utility guy

I think he'll be out of baseball. He'll be 32 next year and is in the middle of his worst season ever.

Yanks released Hicks with another 2 years and $20M guaranteed. Here's looking at you Abreu…..

Shocking to see Harris on that list. None of the rest are that surprising.

Harris has a BABIP of .203 vs Abreu is .297. In other words, Harris has had a lot of bad luck whereas Jose is right around where he should be. I imagine a lot of those guys have similar situations to Harris where positive regression is expected.

Harris is under contract thru 2030

The #s showed he would likely regress a little, but nothing like this. He's still a plus athlete out there and hitting the ball hard. He's shown improvement in K/BB too. I trust he'll be fine. Our guy hasn't shown any signs of life just yet.

Plus his highest paid year is only 15 M. They are paying him ~9 M a year. But they bought out 5 years of control.

If only that's all we owed.

DFA'ing with 2.5yr and 50 mil owed isn't quite the same

Without Chas we only have 2 guys hitting under .220 in the lineup instead of 3.

Rangers sure score runs in bunches. 8 run fourth inning and they lead Baltimore 10-1 in the 7th.

Think about this. The Rangers are having their best season in a long time. The Astros are having their worst season in a long time. Yet the Rangers only have a 3 game lead.

And it's May.

Are there real problems for the Astros? Yes. Are they insurmountable? No.

Go Stros!

Isn't there a stat that the winning team more often scores more runs in one inning than the losing team scores in the entire game. Off the top of my head, that is true for at least our last three games :/

Watching Taylor Jones play for Salt Lake City Bees. I wondered what happened to him.

0-3 with 2 Ks. Wouldn't help with first base…

I don't like our batting order. I would put Bregman first, then Tucker; then Alvarez, then Altuve then Peña.

Bregman always gets on base, and tuck and Alvarez are our best hitters.

Well at least we didn't throw it into CF and let him score. Yet.
