Could again have won a series, similar to the Mariners series. Next up Oakland.

We get Springs, a lefty, 3.69, verse Pallante.
Then Ginn a righty, 3.89, verse Libby. Then Kooez, 6.11, against McG.

Counting Oakland, this will be our fourth Division Leader- Rays, Cleveland LAD -.5 and now Oakland. We won the other three series, and stand 6-3 against division leaders.

Have we ever played here? I don’t know.

Quick snap shot.
Welcome to Sacramento, Cardinals! My brother and I will be there Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon. Glad to know we will see Libby and McGreevy.
Awesome. I wonder what concessions will cost as compared to a real stadium experience.
It's Major League baseball in a Triple A stadium, with Major League prices. Seats for the Dodgers series next month are going for $400.
That’s a chunk, yours didn’t go for that, no.

No, we purchased a few months ago for $35, and you can still get that price for seats on the lawn. We will be sitting several rows behind the Cardinals dugout. No second tier to the stadium, so not a bad seat in the house.

Ha, we have seen 2 A's games since they've been in town and they have been shut out both times. Here's hope Libby and McG can continue that trend!

15,000 capacity.
Or about twice what the average A's attendance was in Oakland.

Bandbox. Right field porch is short: 325'.

The ball flies in that park-I've seen it. The Angel's catcher hit one 470' this season. The park has a +9.7' due to temperature and wind. Here is a fun fact: a one degree rise in temperature leads to a 1% increase in the probability of a home run. Balls are being hit an average 6.25' further at Sutter Health Park than the Coliseum.

Good Winn!

4-3 in this ten, and 3-2 on this west coast swing. And our best two pitchers on deck.
