There is very little about the Athletics' time in Sacramento that has lived up to MLB standards. They're playing in a minor-league stadium. The media room is a makeshift tent. The clubhouses are beyond the outfield wall. It's silly.
And even the golf carts are breaking down mid-game.
During Saturday's game between the A's and Mets, Jose Siri took a painful foul ball off his own leg. He needed to leave the game and get evaluated in the clubhouse. Now, in every other MLB stadium, that's a short walk down a hallway from the dugout. That's not the case at Sutter Health Park — Siri needed a cart.
If only that cart was able to make it the whole trip.

Near the end of that journey, the cart either broke down or ran out of gas. So, the A's needed to get a second cart to take Siri to the clubhouse while the crew pushed the broken-down cart off the field.
That's not the kind of thing you'd see from a competent MLB franchise, but this is the A's after all. And we could be looking at several more years of A's baseball in Sacramento.
