The bit that surprises me about that article about the Stadium in LV is that it will have a partially retractable roof. Given the heat most of the time in LV I'm surprised it isn't being built as a fully indoor stadium with air con like the Globe Life in Arlington.

I also wonder what this means for the As Triple A affiliate team the Las Vegas Aviators?

Maybe they're gonna use the Qatar World Cup AC system. They might restrict the number of day games during the summer like the Texas MLS teams. The current minor league team switches from Sunday day games to night games in the summer. That ballpark, btw, was built in 2019. I wonder if they'll stay in town. The Braves AAA team is just outside the city, so it wouldn't be unique.

Well, that answers that.

The A’s are hoping to open the new stadium to start the 2027 season, with shovels in the ground as early as 2024. The team’s lease at the Oakland Coliseum expires after the 2024 season, so it is unclear where they will play in 2025 and 2026. They could play at Las Vegas Ballpark in the Summerlin neighborhood, which is home to the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators. Kaval said the team has an agreement to keep the Aviators at that ballpark even with the A’s moving to town.

Croydon Pirates AA Opening Day against Tonbridge Wildcats at Roundshaw if anyone is bored and fancies watching some baseball.

This Gilbert guy for Seattle has some nasty business on the mound. Fun to watch (even if against my boys)

Our whole rotation bar Marco now is probably one of the best in MLB right now. Shame we managed to balls the game up last night. Bats are so inconsistent it is frustrating.

We don't have a true Closer; our bullpen sucks. Good starting pitchers, defense, speed, and bats. Gonna be an interesting West Division this season. I love Bruce Bochy so much.

It's great to see Houston struggling, but I'm sure that won't last long.

**** Houston. Adley Rutschman, C for Baltimore, is exactly want you want back of the plate. Such a good defender. Random thought, but it's the most important defensive player and he's good.

Marine layer, innit. And it has been a cold wet April in Seattle, so super Marine layer. But while it makes the hitting look worse than it is, it makes the pitching look better than it is too.

Rutschman is great, but I’ll take a genius short stop or centre fielder over a genius catcher. Simply because they can play every day.

I have never heard of this before.

Saying that our Pitching is legit good.

The Mets are stinking up this season so far. Pitching rotation is awful. Offence hasn't been bad, but they are struggling to score in the early innings.

Speaking of the Mets apparently the 2024 London Series will be the Mets Vs Phillies.

Yep seen that. I'll start saving now for tickets.
