    He apparently put one on the tracks in batting practice before one of our interleague games this year.

    This!

    With the exception of the West Coast game times. Living in Portland...it works awesome for me. East Coast games start at 4pm. West Coast games start at 7pm. Best of both worlds!

    Now...if the A's would finally make their minds up to leave that dumpster fire of a city in Oakland and move to Portland, everything would be awesome! With easily accessible division games at PDX and Seattle...yes please!

    AL - 1 championships, 1 league championships, 3 division titles, 1 wild card in 7 years.
    NL - 0 championships, 1 league championships, 7 division titles, 3 wild card in 51 years.

    And I don't think any other team thought of the Astros as a rivalry in the NL. I feel like they have already created some rivalries in the AL.

    See, you don't miss the NL strategy?! ;)

    Pitcher at the end of the line but due up in the order. 1 out away. Do I let him try & finish the inning or take him out? Do I let the pitcher I just put in hit or pinch hit?
