Current Events > Thinking bout getting back in baseball

(+) Yeah! (+)

Its the most relaxing sport to watch. And now that I live in California again I can actually go to A's and Giants games.

And as nice as it is to watch games in person, when you actually follow baseball closely, these games are exponentially more fun. Last time I went to an A's I was die-hard, watched every game in the season, it was a blast.

And now A's are such trash those tickets are dirt cheap. I can sit literally right on top of the home dugout, front row, for <$100. Or left field bleachers, front row <$30.

you can get As tix for even cheaper than that if you wait till last minute

Yea i used to buy tickets last minute in the past, but I live in sac now, so if I'm making the trip to oakland or SF for games, especially with kids, everythings gotta be pre-planned and I dont mind spending more on good tickets. Wife is a giants fan, we'll probably end up going to more giants games just cuz the stadium is nicer. But I'll still wear my A's shirt to giants games. Not like NFL where you could literally get shanked if you wear a raiders jersey to a niners game or vice versa. The most I'll hear is old white men giving me a thumbs down saying "boooo.....haha I'm just kidding"

Yeah I hear you on that. Its difficult planning anything with kids in the picture and you have to make sure tix are secured.

And my kid is only 4, so most likely we'll be leaving early cuz kid is not gonna sit still for that long.

Good thing about this year is that every team plays every other team now. There's a much greater chance of seeing teams you would normally not see.

I haven't been to a game since 2019 but I'd like to go to a few this year.

Yay baseball do it!

Ew giants no don't

Thats nice actually. There were just way too many in-division games in the past.

Man I used to be so hardcore into it. Played it for 8 years growing up, played every position except short and starting pitcher, but mainly settled in as 3B/2B and RP (I had an arm). I tried making my own analytics algorithms for fantasy baseball. Read a few books on baseball.

Aint nobody got time these days.

lol at the idea that you have a wife and kids. good one danny.

yeah i think the a's are gonna be sneakily good this season. third place at least. i think we'll end up better than the angels...ahahaha

it'll be fun. going to the games is gonna be nice.
