Luis Severino is set to pitch for the Athletics and has expressed dissatisfaction with their temporary home at Sutter Health Park, likening it to a Spring Training environment. His road performance has been markedly better, with a 2.27 ERA compared to a 6.79 ERA at home. Severino highlighted issues like poor atmosphere, a difficult clubhouse situation due to its location, and lack of air conditioning. The conditions at Sutter Health Park favor hitters, as evidenced by the park factor stats, which further exacerbate the challenges for pitchers.
"Because we play in a big-league stadium on the road, we don't have that at home right now. It's not the same. It's not the same atmosphere."
"Our clubhouse is in left field. So, when we play day games, we have to just be in the sun. There's no air conditioning there, too."
