Hello Texas!
That was a long inning!
>>68514596
Hello Cali-bro, I missed most of the inning because I was catching up on the /mlb/ general thread for most of it and wasn't really paying attention. I should really stop browsing 4chan while the game is on, I end up missing like half the game due to me not being able to pay attention to 2 things at once.
>foul ball
>pans to the stadium
>80% empty
Kek, Oakland doesn't deserve a baseball team
FFS, I swear Holland shots the bed like every other game he starts. He's had no consistency this season.
>Derrick Holland
They were saying this muther fucker was gonna be our next Ace a few years ago, what went wrong? What a fuckin bust.
Holland had a hissy fit.
>>68514932
He fucked around too much thoight he was better than he was and it got to his head and his velocity has been down since 2012 so he is nothing better than middle of the order guy
Oh well, at least I got my 1/2 price Papa John's pizza today....
Look how empty that stadium is, how do these teams even make money?
Is Sonny back?
>dingers
I'm so glad that Chirinos is back.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOG
OH SHIT
>>68515131
Oakland has been near the bottom in avg attendance for like the last 10 years at least.
>A'SS
COMEBACK BABY
BASED HODOR
>>68515173
"""""""""""""""""""""""elite""""""""""""""""""""""""
>>68515453
How do they make money though? Is it literally just from hat sales? The A's have one of the more popular hats
>all these Rangers runs and dingers
>>68515173
no
>>68515474
tv contracts, revenue sharing, playing in a dump and not building a new stadium
Gray had to have been tipping something
What a great half inning.
>>68515488
Im so confused though, so many baseball stadiums are like this, very empty, baseball is the 3rd most popular sports yet still somehow baseball players get the largest sports contracts, how?
>>68515534
no cap
>>68515508
>mfw that whole time
DOUBLE DINGERS

>>68515656

5 run inning
OUDAY KOUSAY DEMBELLAH GIVE ME THE POWER I BEG OF YOU!
>>68515534
Even the "empty" stadiums are still averaging over 15k people in attendance every home game. 81 home games with expensive parking, expensive food and drinks, merchandise, and tv revenue adds up to a good bit of dosh. Then remember shit like stadium naming rights, billboard sales, special suites and season ticket sales, other sponsorship and business deals/partnerships, etc. And you can't forget about revenue sharing which helps out the less profitable teams.
Also, the book Moneyball was literally written about the Athletics and describes how they've remained competitive over the years while only spending a fraction of what many other larger market teams spend on player salaries.

her dallasfaggots remind me how the mavs did this year?
>>68515835
Yeah, I'm pretty amazed that he's been able to consistently pitch on a major league level just a few months after he spent several years in prison and not practicing or doing baseball workouts.
Obviously Dirk is our #1, but who is Dallas' #2 favorite athlete?
>>68515928
Rougie or Benn
>>68515941
Weird that our top 2-3 arent Cowboys
>>68515923

>>68515953

Do you guys think Zeke has a chance? He might be great but I dont think he has the personality, I mean this in the least racist way possible but he seems like hes fuckin retarded.
>>68516096
not to be racist but it's his lips that make him look dumb
he is not stupid and he is a beast, i still hate that we took him 4th overall though
fucking jerry fuck tard
>>68516084
2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning, one more out to go for the Rangers to close it out and win
LGTSS
>A'ss
GG Oakland, that was another really crazy game
I wonder what wackiness is in store for tomorrow's game
A'ss fans, how does it feel to get drilled by the GSW of baseball?
