I'll be in the minor-league facility known as "Nationals Park" on Tuesday night to see deGrom and the other guy.

"Welcome to Nationals Park — the facility that killed Harry Kalas."

I was looking up some stuff a few days ago and well, Nats Park has been a HR park for at least the last five or six seasons. This discovery was counter-intuitive to me because I always figured that Nats Park was a pitcher's park. And maybe it is. Maybe it's a pitchers' park overall that's still conducive to home runs if such a thing is possible or even likely. And over the last two seasons, Nats Park, overall, is one of baseball's best HR parks. This season, it's playing like the second best HR park in all of baseball. I never would've imagined any of this without looking it up.

Where are you reading that? since 2012 it's got a Park Factor of 97 on Fangraphs, (so slightly pitcher friend_ for HR, but was dead 100 for 2016-2018.

ESPN park factors. And as of today, Nats Park bas the highest HR factor for the 2019 season. Sez ESPN.



Wanna know what's even odder? Yankee Stadium ranks 25th out of 30 teams in HR effect this season. Maybe I'm reading the chart upside down?

I'll be going to Mets-Reds at Great American Ballpark on September 21. I suspect that our faint hopes will be dead by then, but I'm looking forward to it nonetheless. The four of us will be meeting my brother, his wife, and his wife's mother. It will be our first time seeing a ball game with her and we're excited. Our first trip to Cincinnati. I hear they have riverboats and stuff.

Was at the game last night with the whole gaggle of marathons. Thought I saw a lunchbucket & son walking past the big Apple brew.



Enjoyed the home run show, and snagged some sweet toasty blankets.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

That wasn't us!
