    It's not the same and it doesnt even out. The bigger the park is, the more skill that's taken out. I was actually happy to see the Mets buck the trend of building bandboxes that took most of the "skill" out of hitting home runs. Places like Camden Yards, for example. I'm sure Jimmy Wynn was quite pleased to have to play in the Astrodome for so long. It might've cost him a spot in Cooperstown. I don't like bandboxes either. I don't like extreme stadiums in general. But you can build for a bandbox. You get top flight pitchers who, the idea is, could pitch anywhere. That's what the Phillies did 10 or so years ago, though they could rake too. But what do you do in a cavern? The ideal player there doesnt exist. He'd be someone who hits the ball so far so often that he'd hit 85 HRs in a neutral park. what do you do in a cavern? you get Lagares to play CF. you get gap-hitters who have more gap to hit to.

    wtf why can't the Mets just make something easy for once?

And if wind is a factor then it's not really exit velocity that they're measuring but rather the speed of the ball sometime after it exits the bat. maybe hitters are seeing the ball poorly - the "batters eye" isn't as clean/unobstructed as elsewhere and therefore they are getting less on it on average? that still wouldnt be a problem in my book. I would think a pitcher's park actually favors a team over the course of a season. if a typical home game has less scoring your guys should have to throw less pitches over the course of the year keeping them fresher.

    why is something that favors pitching over hitting "shitty"?
  7. nymr83
    Diaz came back strong!
  8. nymr83
    ugh Diaz leadoff walk with a 4 run lead - HORRIBLE
  9. nymr83

    i feel like i'm watching a fucking NFL game with the announcers arguing over what can or cant be reviewed while we waste time
  13. nymr83
    fucking lucky ass marlins. that was Jeter-esque defense right there - in the right place by accident!
  14. nymr83
    Davis redemption, fighting to get that walk!
  15. nymr83
    ugh come on McNeil, put the damn thing in play at least!

    =Ceetar post_id=5581 time=1553874401 user_id=102] =Fman99 post_id=5578 time=1553872012 user_id=86] I get it, build more off days into the schedule this time of year to account for weather. Still, off days also suck.

    not that its been rocket-science, but i've like dthe in-game moves today - pinch-hit with Smith to keep him in for defense. then pinch-run with Broxton since you plan to use him for defense anyway - Callaway has gotten better in a small sample size
  18. nymr83
    KKKKKKKKKKK I'd think Smith gets an AB and stays in for defense, especially if a righty (Scherzer) is still in there, unless there is a lefty in the pen ready for Cano and then they should leave Alonso to avoid getting hosed

    =Centerfield post_id=4666 time=1553105852 user_id=65] I haven't seen it, but Brie Larson does like, nothing for me.
  25. nymr83
    Definitely possible. Another theory from the tin-foil-hat Wilpon haters - DeGrom signed long term so they no longer care about pleasing him, cut his "personal catcher"
