I'm sure someone else has had to have asked this question, but I'm too lazy to look. I don't see any realistic reason as to why fans have to wait until an hour and a half before the game, missing all the batting practice excitement of having guys like Cespedes on the team. As a bleachers nut for almost two decades now, watching the A's take BP used to be one of my favorite parts of the game. Is there any really reason why we have to miss batting practice?
