Rizzo didn't even build the Nationals. He just hit on two of the biggest no-brainer picks in draft history.

Noonskadoodle Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 08:54 PM) WTF happened to him? I mean, there were signs last year he was regressing, even though his numbers looked good. He walked a lot of guys, now it's just out of control.

Caesar Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 21, 2012 -> 07:55 PM) It's really bad business. How does it look when your team can't fill up the stadium when big market teams come to town? The extra money they make probably isn't more than them filling up the stadium at slightly cheaper prices. Plus you get more concessions and parking revenue. Dumb move by the Sox brass.

Soxbadger Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Im pretty sure their strategy is to make money, not fill seats. So without actually having access to their books, how can you do anything but assume? Its just silly to believe that the Sox arent trying to make the most money possible. Now their strategy may not work, but they are trying to make money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hopefully we can get Liriano through 6 at least...although only 5 isn't out of the realm of possibility. 65 through 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't, it makes having a certain income group attending very important. Folks who drive but who also use the sox lots, rather than usin public transit or the other lots in the area. Prices that attract a lot of public transit users arent as profitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
