One helluva sloppy game several ways; yet not void of several Hero's; tho' not pretty a Wins a Win ...
23 Yanx LOB - !!! 20 A's LOB....
A major aspect of the game, we read or hear little to nothing about i.e. performance levels of early games; after a long night prior.
Yanx and All MLB teams have looked like zombie sleepwalkers during Early games. Easy to see why for anyone, any team, usually &/or often not firing on all cylinders. It's hard to imagine as a spectator, harder to imagine the older one gets (speaking for myself).
By the time players finish a night game, shower, do post game interviews, eat and make it home for a bit of sleep. Get up earlier than normal, eat, drive back to t/stadium, dressout, get in any short pre-game workout, then play at high levels. The average amount of sleep, rest and recovery, is commonly diminshed time wise. But then, youth enables athletes to defy practicality, pushing t/envelopes of performance at high levels under the least practical of circumstances and conditions. Hell, its all I can do just to get up in time to watch an a.m. game, in fact if it weren't for a early Yanx game on TV, I'd sleep past the 10am PST game time.
Other than Toronto having its Hotel rooms in t/stadium, I've often wondered what or IF MLB teams have sleeping quarters &/or personal player suites in these newer stadiums. If not, why not??
