Elephant Rumblings: A’s planning earlier start times in Vegas

Welcome to Thursday, all. The week is almost over.

If the A’s reported move to Las Vegas happens, there’ll be more change than just the stadium. Yesterday it was reported that the club plans to move up their home game start times to as early as 4 p.m. local time according to Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times:

“Las Vegas runs on tourists,” Shaikin wrote. “Fisher, the owner of the presumptive Las Vegas Athletics, would like to cater to them. He has pondered whether his A’s should start home games at 4 p.m., the better for tourists to catch a game in the afternoon and a show at night.
