Slimy Hog posted:Don't the A's threaten to leave Oakland all the time? Every team that is negotiating public funding for a new arena deal with a local government threatens to leave. Some would say the art of extorting politicians for public dollars against the threat of a beloved franchise leaving town forever is the real business of professional sports.

The Pussy Boss posted:https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/1392218156198940675 As I understand it vaccinations are not 100% effective in 100% of people, which is why herd immunity is important. People who are vaccination can also still carry the disease but may be asymptomatic. We've been told again and again that just because you get vaccinated you shouldn't stop taking precautions. I would think this would possibly call into question the MLB policy of reducing restrictions once teams pass the 85% vaccination threshold. But I'm talking out of my rear end. 3B Coach Phil Nevin has been confirmed as a "breakthrough positive", someone who has tested posted more than 14 days after being vaccinated. https://twitter.com/snyyankees/status/1392224481905725442

Moderna and Pfizer are both ~97% effective at preventing hospitalizations from COVID complications, J&J something like 94%, IIRC. So yeah you can still get it and it can still lay you out, but for the vast majority the vaccine will spare you the absolute worst of it.

more falafel please posted:The biggest problem with Mexico City is that it would make Coors look like a normal ballpark. Ok good point. Maybe Monterrey, but that’s still pretty high. Montreal getting their team back would be hype, but it’d be neat to see MLB start expanding into the rest of the continent.

It is absurd that the Giants objection to the A’s moving to SJ was upheld by anyone. It's more or less just a non-compete promise the A's invented that MLB makes them adhere to since Haas agreed to implement it. But since both Haas and Lurie are gone it's figured into the franchise values. Of course at that time the A's had an owner who could afford to build in SF. The sad reality for "Oakland forever" type fans is that the A's have spent twenty of the past thirty years trying to get out. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 01:15 on May 12, 2021 |

I don't think I've ever seen a catcher as bad at framing as Kurt Suzuki is. There were so many borderline pitches in the Astros series where he could have easily given the pitcher a strike, but he would consistently move the ball away from the center of the zone.

He's terrible. The amount of pitches that get by him or the strikes he takes away is unbelievable. The Angels current catcher situation sucks with some injuries or else he should have been gone weeks ago
