    If we are in a transition year, why in hell are we playing Sano over Adell.

    I'm not sure what this team is expecting out of Miguel Sano as he hasn't been good since 2019. I'd rather they just give Adell the full time job

    As i said at the time.  If you were not all in for extending Ohtani then you damn well should trade him.
     
    That is entirely on Moreno and maybe the second worst baseball decision in history.

    Trout out, rendon out, Neto out, and Drury out.  He should have been traded.
    According to the articke, Artie made the decision not to extend him early.  Which means he should have been traded the year before.

    Signing Ohtani was probably never a good baseball decision for the Angels. Not trading him wasnt either.

    Kids can eat at the hotels just like adults.  You are correct about gaming.
    You may have a point about not bringing in 33k a night 81 games.  
    I see a lot of opposing fans at GK games and there are 41 of those.  
    I think there will be excitement for the A's.  Las Vegas is not Oakland.  There is a lot more money than Oakland.  Media market may not be as big but you also have to include an estimate 38 million people who come to Vegas annually.
    The good reason to believe Fisher will still be cheap.  However, despite being cheap they have made the playoffs more than many big spending franchises.

    I thought you were a Vegas Native?  Am I wrong?
    Let get some thing clear!
    Cashman Field is in one of the worst areas of metro area.  The strip is the most famous areas of the metro area!
    The franchises did not want to be near down town but they wanted to be near the strip.  I hope that isnt hard to figure out!
    Both mayors Goodman (hubby and wife) want to revitalize downtown.  However, the sport franchises are marketing tourist as well as locals. Thus they want to be near the best resorts.  Which is the strip.  Goodmans had no choice in the area.  You comment like they had a say where venues go!
    1. TMobil was open by private money.  The money came from MGM and Casino magnet Adelson.  Those chose TMobile bevause it was the best location to market the team.
    2. Allegiant location was also chosen to be near the strip.  Both Golden Knights and Raiders get corporate marketing $$$ because the MGM resorts surround both locations.
    3. Of Course the T&M Center  would be on the UNLV campus.  Should they have put it downtown instead on the college Campus?
    4. Not sure what you are trying to say about the airport.  Or the Speedway which is so big in real rstate that it had to be on the outskirts of town.
    5.  The Mayor of Las Vegas has no say to cobstruction in Clark County.  The county Commission does.  And the state legislature 
    From an economic standpoint Cashman field makes sense.  It would be cheaper to build and for A's.  It has the  infrastructure.  However, location is not ideal.
    The best economic decision would have been having the stadium built in Summerland.  Houghes corporation has offered the land rent free.  That would make more economic sense.
    However the best decision for marketing standpoint is the strip.  The franchise owners know that.  That is why they insisted a location near the strip.
     
    These arguments have been well publicized in the Las Vegas Review Journal so I am not maling it up in thin air as you say it.

    She said "they arent serious" so they should consider staying in Oakland.
    BECAUSE THE A'S DIDN'T WANT TO PLAY AT CASHMAN FIELD WHICH IS IN THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS.
    The Tropicana site is in Spring Valley township of Clark County.  Thus the City doesnt collect tax revenue.  Clark County does.
     
    Context is very important.  And if you live in Las Vegas you would know the difference and is willingly misleading the board of context.
     
    Or you dont live in Las Vegas and just doesn't know the difference.
