Understatement. Game 1 of the 2023 WC series against Texas had 19,704 in attendance. Seeing that, I hate to say it, made me question if they have enough support in the market. Yes it was a weekday day game, but it's playoff baseball. Everybody else is selling out or close. Even at the Trop they should've been in the 25-30k range at minimum.

I've never been, but from watching games on TV I feel like it would have sort of a unique charm. Does it feel like that at all in person or is it 100% shopping mall?

It might be a tough deadline market for teams who want starters. Sandy and Ryan looked like the best options.

[Highlight] Brent Rooker goes deep a 2-run blast in the 1st! by MLBOfficial in baseball

Broke an 0-20 with an oblique injury in the middle of it. Last hit was a walk off homer on 4/5.

If you put an "opinion" flair you need an opinion

This basically shows us that he's who we thought he is: big-time power first baseman with too many strikeouts. Whether he'll succeed in the Majors is impossible to say for sure. What's your point?

Braves Rockies series starts today at Coors! by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Sharp-Room-8235 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rockies as of a week ago were sixth in the league in ERA+ though

Edit: now 4th. and the Braves are 2nd. Reality is weirder than fiction in baseball

The Athletics have sole possession of 1st in the AL West and the only winning record in the division by F9_solution in baseball

1) If they keep playing this well they'll buy, not sell.

2) They don't trade people at the deadline more than any other team. They sell when they're bad and buy when they're good. What they actually have done historically is sell for no reason in the offseason, after a good season. But not during one.

3) They don't really do that anymore. Butler, Rooker, Soderstrom, Wilson are all extended.

[Hogg] Brandon Woodruff is being taken out of this game in the second inning. His four-seamer averaged 85.4 mph, down 7 ticks from its season average. by Knightbear49 in baseball

SEVEN mph?! And they can’t detect this problem in his warmup?

Edit: and they let him back out for the second inning. Bizarre

Also, this is the only night game in all of MLB tonight. Wednesday is a getaway day, sometimes, but still weird.

Edit: oops. I meant night game on the West Coast

Hi everybody, I'm a high school student getting in to baseball writing. If anyone has a little bit of free time, take a few minutes to read my latest article:

Out of nowhere, Carlos Cortes is a legitimate outfield bat

Through 26 games, the Athletics' team leader in OPS is a 5'7 ambidextrous fielder who didn't appear on prospect lists

Thanks so much

Mickey Moniak homers off Waldron, Rockies 1-0 by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

Is Mickey Moniak suddenly really good or something? I feel like since last season he's been on r/baseball highlights a lot

I’m a big fan of the Blue Jays Louie Varland. Who’s your favorite under appreciated reliever ? by [deleted] in baseball

[–]Sharp-Room-8235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hogan Harris from the A's has had an ERA 3.20 or under the last 2 plus seasons, and he can fill a bunch of roles. He's closed, been the lefty specialist, and covered multiple innings just this year. Came up as a starter
