What they're saying

"
Outfielder Lawrence Butler heard a “let's go Brewers” chant break out in the stands on Monday night, and though this was an Athletics home game, that didn't surprise him. “The fans booed them,” Butler said. The A's have played spring training games at Las Vegas Ballpark — home to the organization's Triple-A affiliate — but this is the first time in 30 years they are playing regular-season games here.
