“Oakland” came to town this weekend. So the scoreboard tells us at least. Personally I think they should just admit that they aren’t actually attached to Oakland at all anymore. But alas that’s not how egos and sports teams work. So the Tr8tors went through the motions in Chase Field against the rattling snakes.
