>>64803114
>brick wall
Plus, you know, everything up on the outfield promenade. Because they actually have things to look at up there unlike 20+ of the other parks.
>unkept grass
AT&T doesn't use mow pattern gimmicks, and they are booked all the time for concerts and other sports events around the year, so you can't compare the grass to dead zone parks with mow patterns that look like an '80s hip hop movie hairstyle.

>>64821903
if he sticks around a few more seasons at DH he'll have a decent chance
>>64822136
You really think he can have another season like last year? It'd be great if he did, but you can't expect him to be anywhere near as good as last year.
>>64822239
there's no way he can play like he did this past season.
>>64822239
>>64822385
I can expect him to hit ~20 a year for the next 4 years
>>64821706
>708 home runs is the AL record
>A-Rod could realistically break that next year
>>64822438
At the very most
reminder that Hank Aaron still owns the home run record
>>64822797
Reminder that Aaron used PEDs too
>>64822796
think of it, a couple years from now he'll be a free agent
and if he's still on track then some shitty AL team that needs to sell tickets can sign him for a couple years and DH him as he approaches baseball history
>>64822964
Reminder that literally every prolific player has had some kind of help (greenies, roids, etc.)
>>64823107
>some shitty AL team that needs to sell tickets can sign him for a couple years and DH him as he approaches baseball history
I dont know. Safecos a big park
>>64823177
lel, that's exactly what I was thinking
Arod back to the city where he began his career, only problem is Cano will probably be a DH by then
>>64823177
I doubt the Mariners would want him back
>>64823177
alex retiring with a team who's fans have hated him for 15 years would be pretty funny
>>64823141
>there are actually people who think the BBWA isn't massively hypocritical for refusing to acknowledge this and crying MUH ROIDS against Bonds and Clemens
>>64823107
I don't know, we'll have to see how he plays this season. If he doesn't hit well then he's just clogging up the DH spot
>>64823661
Do you think the Yankees would resign Tex to fill the void of DH if he's still hitting well?
>>64823790
Honestly, I hope not. Tex had a good season but he's getting old and I can't imagine him playing like he did again. Plus they have players they can bring up. I really like Tex and everybody in NY loves him but I think he's gonna be expensive. I really hope he can have a year like he did last season.

kauffman is pretty sweet because of all the tailgating before and after.
Weird how it's so far away from everything, but but that makes in unique. Been to many stadiums, but it's the best/comfiest game day atmosphere before, during, and after.
Random /mlb/ question, but has anyone on there every bought season tickets?
I'm thinking about doing it this year because my will probably be at least competitive, I think.
Obviously there's no way I can make it to all 81 games, so I'd have to sell some/give them away.
Do you think you'd be able to at least make your money back on the unused tickets? I'm on the fence about season tickets because I don't just want to end up wasting a lot of money.
Anyone have any experience?
>>64832206
haven't but I've known people who have
If you do it right you can at least cut your costs enough so that you'd save money vs buying individual tickets for each game you go to
the real money comes if your team makes the playoffs, plus you get priority for buying stuff like spring training tickets
>>64832388
Thanks. I'm still on the fence about it.
Opening day here is going to run like $250 from stub hub or whatever, but with season tickets i can save that. That's what's making me consider it.

Friendly reminder that 2015 AL "Rookie" of the ""Year"" Carlos Correa won based on hitting a handful more home runs while otherwise offering equal offensive performance and playing vastly inferior defense to Francisco Lindor, including committing a costly error that helped him eliminate his team from postseason contention. But it's ok, he hit a few more home runs at a defense-first position
