AT&T doesn't use mow pattern gimmicks, and they are booked all the time for concerts and other sports events around the year, so you can't compare the grass to dead zone parks with mow patterns that look like an '80s hip hop movie hairstyle.

kauffman is pretty sweet because of all the tailgating before and after.

Weird how it's so far away from everything, but but that makes in unique. Been to many stadiums, but it's the best/comfiest game day atmosphere before, during, and after.

Random /mlb/ question, but has anyone on there every bought season tickets?

I'm thinking about doing it this year because my will probably be at least competitive, I think.

Obviously there's no way I can make it to all 81 games, so I'd have to sell some/give them away.

Do you think you'd be able to at least make your money back on the unused tickets? I'm on the fence about season tickets because I don't just want to end up wasting a lot of money.

Anyone have any experience?

>>64832206
haven't but I've known people who have

If you do it right you can at least cut your costs enough so that you'd save money vs buying individual tickets for each game you go to

the real money comes if your team makes the playoffs, plus you get priority for buying stuff like spring training tickets

>>64832388

Thanks. I'm still on the fence about it.

Opening day here is going to run like $250 from stub hub or whatever, but with season tickets i can save that. That's what's making me consider it.

Arrieta will suffer the second year beat down like most CY candidates have over the last 20 or so years. He'll have a winning season but the numbers will be weak. Just above .500 in W-L, an ERA that is a point or two higher, more hits and walks allowed. Then the "analysts" will all start the "well he's been figured out, I mean, he's got good stuff but now the hitters know what to look for from where he is in his delivery and release point down to how much he uses his fastball early in the count", and "well, obviously he's taken a big step back but it's really not him so much as it is X and Y".

The smartest idiot is still an idiot.

That is to say, the best hitting pitcher still sucks and should be nowhere near a HR derby, and you've been brainwashed by memes if you think otherwise

Go ahead, put a pitcher in the derby meant for people who actually hit home runs. Put Craig Counsell and David Eckstein in too, they have about as much power as the best hitting pitcher. The derby is already a joke anyway, and I like your idea to kill it off for good
