Yamamoto threw 41 pitches while recording two outs in the first before being pulled.

Well, Jason did his part today on the broadcast to get him a spot. Would have been great had he been chosen.

In defense of JV, Ryan Walker has personally blown two games where Verlander should have gotten the win. In a couple of his starts the offense was MIA while the defense was shaky. His most recent start was 💩. He was very hittable.

🫤 true

I was able to watch the game last night after all. Fortunately I got the FOX feed through our prime account. Wainwright was totally professional, definitely not a jerk about anything. Clearly, he was more about the baseball game than secondary conversations. Waino has a good career ahead of him in the booth. I liked his take on pitches thrown and the pitchers.

Well, that pretty much means I won’t be able to watch the game. Had pretty much planned the evening around it.

💯agree.

This from our friend, AI. During their time playing at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento, the team will simply be known as the Athletics or the A's, with the approved designation for official references being "ATH". The A's vice chairman, Sandy Dean, explained that this decision was made out of respect, recognizing the temporary nature of their presence in Sacramento. The team's brand guidelines specify that the city name will not be used on the front of team jerseys. While some Sacramento residents may find the decision not to incorporate the city name into the team's branding disrespectful, the intention is to avoid establishing a strong connection to Sacramento that would be severed upon the team's eventual move to Las Vegas. *********** The most encouraging takeaway from the link Bert provided is that there is a growing realization that Las Vegas may not be happening. I agree with all A’s fans, SELL THE TEAM!!!

Thank you for posting this. Very good update on the Fisher debacle. Manfred being complicit in this failed scheme is shameful. At least Stu Sternberg knew when the ruse was up. I can’t believe, according to this piece, that the A’s are valued the same as the Orioles were when they were for sale.

Huuuuge out.

Not a good thing.

Unfortunately, not tonight.

My take as well.

On July 4, 1872 Calvin Coolidge was born. On July 4, 1831 James Monroe died. Three of our first five presidents died on a July 4th.

Do the Tigers still do the Fantasy Camps at Lakeland?
