It was painful to watch, wasn’t it? Baseball at The Trop was never going to be pretty. It may be the only stadium in the country people speak worse of than the Coliseum.
Those ridiculous catwalks. The artificial turf. It was replaced before the start of this season but it still looks like a Putt-Putt course out there. Then you throw in a terrible called third strike on Semien at a crucial moment in the game, and it all became a little too difficult to swallow.
I’m bitter. Forgive me. It’s been an unexpected dream season for the Oakland Athletics, but with winning comes increased expectations.
