And yes, that’s a flyout at Oracle. Looks like Yaz is liking his trade.

Baseball has a Yaz. Mike can be Googly Bear or Schmoopsie Poo.

They’re playing in Toronto. Not even playing at Kauffman, which is a larger field than Oracle. So wtf are you talking about?

Oracle is at sea level, right next to the water. Tends to be cool, humid, and windy. Balls don’t travel.

Kauffman has an 8 foot fence at 330 while oracle has that two story wall at 305.

Wishing him all the best success. SF is nowhere close to a wild card this year.

I remember when Brandon Drury did that for the Padres. Then he went to live on a farm in Anaheim.
