Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
Apparently, it’s not just my Southern California hometown that is getting unusual amounts of rain. Yesterday, the A’s-Guardians game in Hohokam, Arizona was called off in the third inning due to the wet stuff. There is plenty of baseball to come, though, with split squad games in both Mesa and Las Vegas today and tomorrow.
The Vegas games are part of MLB’s Big-League Weekend, and Susan Slusser at the San Francisco Chronicle reported that A’s players and coaches are preparing not just for the games at the Aviator’s Las Vegas Ballpark, but also to field anticipated questions about the planned move to Sin City.
