Las Vegas - Do not remember the last time I was in Sacramento, maybe never, but heading there this evening for a look at the A's/White Sox game. The Athletics are playing the next couple of years at the Sutter Health Park which is the home of the Sacramento River Cats of the Pacific Coast League (PCL) with a seating capacity of 14,014. Then they come to see me in a BILLION DOLLAR Vegas stadium. The A's were HORRIBLE the last three years in Oakland and HORRIBLE might be too kind. They were 60-102 in 2022, 50-112 in 2023 and 69-93 in 2024. So, the 11-13 mark at the moment (not including last night) looks magnificent. They have also started to spend some money before coming to Vegas and shelled out $67 million to Luis Severino for the next three years. Severino's 1-3 record is kinda ugly, but his last two starts have been impressive. Sevy has allowed only 2 earned runs over the last 13 innings and should have no trouble handing the White Sox.
