I don’t necessarily believe this, but I’m just gonna throw it out there and see what other people think...

Do Canning and Sandoval have mentality problems on the mound? And if so, might that have to do with where they grew up?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest people in OC have different personalities than, say, people from New York or Boston.

Whenever these two pitch, there doesn’t seem to be a bulldog, fight through it mentality that other pitchers have.

Sandoval leading MLB in unearned runs last year suggests there’s something there.

Is there something here?

thats dumb as shit

You can't think of that but you are good at reading wikipedia. Ahh the good ol days of 1901!

No. I’ve never seen a mayor come out and straight up say you’re better off not coming to a professional sports team attempting to move to a new city. 

Vegas mayor thinking out of the box but she wants the franchise, dont be fooled.

Actually, I don’t agree with that at all based on the history of this area, and the multiple times that our mayors have publicly lobbied for specific teams to move here. They tried for the A’s in 2001.  In 2004, the previous Mayor Goodman rolled up to the winter meetings with showgirls, attempting to woo the Marlins. They also made public overtures to the Expos before they moved to DC. All of that was before gambling on sports became mainstream, which is why leagues would say no. In 2018, they began talks with the Diamondbacks before the situation with the A’s came up again. With all of that context and history of Las Vegas openly recruiting baseball teams, it seems to me odd that our mayor would suddenly tell a team owner, basically, that we’re not interested.

Comparing 2001 and 2004 to 2024 in terms of Vegas + pro sports franchises is laughable at best and you should know better.

So, again, the question then is, what do you think she meant? What do you infer from those comments? I live in Vegas, and I’ve heard her and her husband (our previous mayor) speak many times. They are both, for better or worse, the type to say exactly what they think. She famously said in CNN that she wanted locals to be guinea pigs to see what Covid does. In the stadium case, the public money has already been earmarked. There is no better deal to be had by trashing the deal or saying how Fisher’s plan makes no sense (it doesn’t, tbh). That’s my take, anyway.

Until everything is official, isnt it best for the politician to say "hey I hope you guys work it out in your current home"? Once they are actually 100% coming to Vegas she will flip the script. Sorry if you are falling for some political speech a few times and now think they are being honest and forthright.

"I thought, this does not make sense, and so why is it happening?" Goodman said. "And then I thought, well, because they really want to stay in Oakland, they want to be on the water, they have that magnificent dream. Yet they can't get it done."

When the podcast hosts asked Goodman if it would be a "good thing" if the A's do complete their relocation to Las Vegas, she responded by saying: "I personally think they've gotta figure out a way to stay in Oakland and make their dream come true."
 

I mean, not sure how you can read those quotes and come to a different conclusion. But whatever lol

You've never heard of a politician saying one thing while meaning another? You can choose to take everything politicians say at face value if you want I guess.
