MLB 2024: robot umps, please

The A’s officially changed their name to the Athletics yesterday. No city name and their abbreviation will be ATH.

It’s supposed to be for three years before the move to Vegas, but I’m still not convinced a Vegas ballpark deal will happen.

Their name was always officially Athletics.

Just like the Mets name is officially the Metropolitans (technically, the New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, Inc.)

I meant they are now just the Athletics. Not the Oakland Athletics, not the Sacramento Athletics, they’re just the Athletics.

He's one of those guys I could listen to just tell stories all day, but people really didn't seem to like him this year during the KC-NYY series. Saw a comment somewhere else that summed it up well that his style his from more of a bygone era where you could wax poetic and tell stories during the games, sometimes not related to the game going on in front of you, whereas now a lot of the commentary is more into the nitty gritty of mechanics and analytics.

What would they say if Phil Rizzuto were still alive? :-)

Shohei got surgery on a torn labrum. They say he'll be back in time for Spring Training.

I’ve had that surgery twice now, in 2013, and again in 2018, two separate injuries. Either they’ve made HUGE advancement in that surgery during the past 6 years, or someone is blowing smoke up his ***. Six to twelve months, that’s what I was told both times, and a loss of about 10% in range of motion. I can’t play golf anymore, and won’t even consider getting my back into a hockey game.

How badly was yours torn? I think his was a fairly minor tear from the shoulder dislocation. Something more severe and I could see your experience. He also has the best doctors in the world looking after him.

My first year was pretty bad, top-front quadrant of the labrum. The second wasn’t as bad, but it was lower-front quadrant, which felt worse post-surgery and during recovery.
