Sacramento A’s Relocation podcast Daniel Dullum:

#1 The New York Yankees network the YES Network in an interview on Friday with the former Yankee abd current Sacramento A’s pitcher Luis Severino asked his thoughts about playing in a minor league park and Severino said, “This is not a big league park.”

#2 Severino did not add anymore to the minor league ballpark statement but it did reverberate when the Yankees press who are covering the Yankees trip in Sacramento this weekend as to what a player’s thoughts are playing at the San Francisco Giants triple A affiliate Sacramento Rivercats minor league park.

#3 The Yankee broadcasters on the YES Network also added that “This is gonna be a summer this grass is never gonna forget.” inferring that the ballparks natural playing surface will be used over some 150 games just this season and the turf might show it’s age after so much use.

#4 Severino said the wind can take a baseball and do some damage to a pitcher if a hitter hits it in the direction of the wind and in a minor league park things could go bad fast.

#5 Severino said a few words regarding playing at a minor park is there any doubt that he’s sharing the feelings of the other players as well?
