Citi Field moves right field wall eight feet closer to home plate for 2023.

What the thread title sez. Lucas Duda's wishing he was 10 years younger.

What did they do this ?

[Benjamin Grimm]

To make room for luxury seating, I think? Isn't this where the Mrs. Payson Club is going to be?

Yeah, it's pretty much the back end of the same story. As mentioned by JCL in the Payson thread, Kyle Shwarber is going to reach that wall by accident. But maybe the big beneficiary will be Jeff McNeil.

Not sure if I would like that. The year he was swinging for the fences, his HRs went up but the other part of his game declined. I think he's a much more effective batter when he uses the whole field.

I certainly didn't advocate for Jeff McNeil to change his approach.
