Next year we will again finish the pre-ASB at home vs the Rangers and open the second half on the road at Seattle.

If they don't see him contributing much down the stretch with his innings limit coming up, it won't really matter as much.

That's fair. They'd have to get a pitcher in return as well.

I'm in Mexico at the moment. I scouted this gringo down here striking everyone out and doing silly moves afterwards. Seems like a real talent. In his 30s already so maybe a late bloomer. Could be a steal. I hear he'll accept the minimum with incentives.

That team has deserved so much better for years. Is it on the "right" side of the bridge now so maybe they'll get decent attendance?

I was watching the guys on foul territory the other day. They were taking about how Tampa Bay as an organization runs their team (cheap, trading away guys nearing free agency, etc). They pointed out they can only do that because they really have no fans to backlash against them or not show up to games. Nobody comes anyway. You couldn't do that in a major market. If this leads to more support, it will probably change how they do things significantly because they will actually have fans to try and keep happy.

Feels a bit like a Catch 22. If people showed up they could keep the top talent, but who knows

And they'd have Montero with a sub 1.00 ERA and throwing 102 mph by next season somehow.

I'm at dinner with the family and was just thinking it was nice to not feel like I was missing a game like it's the end of the season but also not being pissed because we lost out last game.

The A's are the same way, but for different reasons. Fisher is a cheap asshat, and has wanted to move the team since the City Council rejected his new ballpark on the water.

I don't think he ever wanted to stay in Oakland. I think he wanted to get the team to Vegas so he could raise the value for when he sells. He'll fetch way more money there.

Moving a crappy team to a much smaller television market might do the cosmic Uno reverse on him. He should have just sold the team. There have been real offers from some Silicon Valley tech bros, that he turned down.

Source: I work for a Silicon Valley tech company, and a co-worker I'm on meetings with almost daily who's also a good friend is a East Bay resident, and a huge A's fan. We went to a game there back in May. Wanted to check that stadium off the hunt while I still could.
