[Tetsujin]

In other Sacramento sports news…

BREAKING: MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and Athletics owner John Fisher are touring Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. The new home of the A’s. We saw them enter the club house under construction and walk the field. The A’s announced a sellout for the home opener on March 31st pic.twitter.com/QLUBovpqZX

the A’s accidentally had a normal offseason and locked up a young stud for once.

don't normally visit this thread but kind of wild seeing the Vivek posts showing a guy dedicated to building in Sacramento and knowing a large chunk of the fan base hates him because Sacramento sports media hasn't said a kind word about him since he said something stupid one time when Anjali was playing middle school basketball.

The more they try to convince me they’re going to Vegas the less I believe it. https://t.co/Ia9L8PICpA

The season's first Athletics homer is a SoderBOMB 💣 pic.twitter.com/ibsX9dAfD1

— Athletics on NBCS (@NBCSAthletics) March 28, 2025

first run of the Sacramento A’s era is a Soderbomb!

 

[Tetsujin]

New Max Muncy with the nice double play and something that the other Max Muncy probably can’t do physically.

 

[Tetsujin]

lol Bido loaded the bases with zero outs and still somehow came out of the inning scoreless and with only 15 pitches

Nick Kurtz's first Triple-A homer was scorched for @AviatorsLV 🔥

This has been such a long time coming. Been an A’s fan since I was 7-8 years old. In August 1987 Sacramento sent 21,000 people (my family included) on buses to take over the coliseum and an A’s/Yankees game during the March on Baseball, something I’ll never forget. This has been a baseball town since I was a wee thing and we are about to show MLB how much we love this sport. I know the A’s aren’t staying here but I never thought I would be going to opening day baseball here in my hometown. The A’s are young, exciting, and they play hard which is all this city really asks for. Take note kings, this young exciting squad is about to win over this city BIGTIME.

Man, I so wish I were still in the area for this. Although not an A's fan by any stretch of the imagination, I'd totally get a ticket to the game and show up.

I already see some of the cubs pitchers complaining about playing in a triple AAA park and how they would rather be in Oakland. “This is stupid”.
Oh yeah, in front of 5,000 fans. But at least you’re playing in a huge stadium. Man, get outta here with that BS. You’re getting paid millions to play a game. How about you just keep your crap to yourself and just enjoy the better atmosphere.

Hah, I forgot about that kid. He was a high-level catching prospect; my son actually worked directly with his catching coach. I had to drive my son to Lodi once a week. It was awful...but worth it!

surreal on multiple levels

 

[Tetsujin]

We were wondering if we'd see a bunch of just baseball fans wearing their favorite team's gear at A's games in Sacramento.

I'm not exaggerating when I tell you it's a SEA of Green & Gold. The longest line on the concourse is to get into the team store.

It's kind of sad to me that the Rickey Henderson tribute was not fated to happen in Oakland

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

The "park" looks so small. Almost has the appearance of half of an MLB stadium

Uncle V gonna leave the Kings to Anjali and Lamb while he freies to get a permanent MLB team.

 

[Kingz19]

Sacramento A’s indeed lol

There's really only one person responsible for this. Or two if you count Rob Manfred being the anti David Stern and willing the move into existence.

 

[Kingz19]

AAA park or not, the tower bridge and Sacramento skyline beyond right field is probably one of the better ball park views in the majors
