Rattlers coming to GRA....

 

[awfulwaffle]

If you want to laugh, join the Arizona Rattlers Facebook group, there are going to be some grumpy people. Some have said they won't go to games if they move to Glendale Haha. I think they have what, 5 home games?

 

[Sinurgy]

That's cool and what an awesome experience it'll be for that kid. I think we'll eventually see a lot more Asian players as the game spreads and considering it's a sport where you don't have to be unusually big to play it (looking at you NBA and NFL).

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Sayonara Zack Greinke.

 

[awfulwaffle]

Too bad we couldn't get rid of Thomas' contract....

Sayonara Zack Greinke.

Say what you want about his contract, he gave us a chance to win nearly every day he was on that mound. Sucks we couldn't put more behind him and build a successful rotation/bullpen around him.

Well, the bad news is that the D'Backs are still on the hook for $24M of Greinke's contract over the next 3 years.

The good news is that the haul from Houston was really good.

Yeah we got a lot of good talent from them. I'm going to miss Greinke to be honest, he was a stud on the mound. Always found it humorous there were times where the offense couldn't do anything and he single handedly kept us in the game both on the mound and at the plate.

Speaking of the DBacks......

Speaking of the DBacks......

ROFL.

Yeah, I can see MLB wanting to lose the Phoenix market to Henderson.

Henderson is to Vegas what Glendale is to Phoenix.

Henderson is like 15 minutes away from the strip. It's not a bad drive and traffic isn't nearly as bad as it is here.

The article is alarming and worrisome. Someone is going to have a PR nightmare on their hands.

Chandler or Queen Creek, maybe.

Chandler or Queen Creek, maybe.

Could be worse, like Peoria.

Chandler. Queen Creek is Boulder City.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Chandler. Queen Creek is Boulder City.

Yeah, true. It's a bit of a hike, is what I'm saying. And if I've learned nothing else from HF over the years, I do know that putting a pro sports team in a fringe suburb is a bad, bad idea.

That's pretty darn cool.

If I was a closer, I'd stay away from the D-backs...

DBacks bullpen..... where pitching careers go to die.

Speaking of the DBacks......

I can see a part of the roof in the lower right quadrant. Kinda odd to see a Fenway-sized ballpark with a Safeco-style roof.

Edit: the outfield reminds me of PNC.

Big news for the Cardinals this weekend. Release player for aggravated assault, and their coo arrested for dui.
