We’re not even two full months into the Athletics’ three-year (and maybe more) stay in Sacramento, but it sure seems like the A’s are already fed up with their minor league digs.
The latest instance of annoyance with West Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park came from A’s manager Mark Kotsay on Thursday. The Athletics were ahead of the Los Angeles Angels 3-2 with a runner on first and no outs in the bottom of the fifth when Brent Rooker scorched a base hit down the left field line. The ball bounced once on the field, hit off the bottom of the left field foul pole and went directly to left fielder Taylor Ward.
