Hope this is the right place too post this.

Do all American league teams have the home team dugout on the firstbase side ?

If not, does anyone know which dugout the Rangers use for home games ?

Just wondering as I am thinking of buying tickets to see the O's Play at Arlington stadium in September.

Thanks in advance for any assistance

The Rangers sit on the first-base side. I was there a couple of weeks ago.

The Nats' dugout is on the third base side.

Which is a little weird because the Senators used the first base dugout at RFK. I'm guessing the Nats are using the old Redskins locker room due to upgrades made over the years and that its access is to the third base dugout.

I wish the Orioles were still on the third base side like they were at Memorial.

Uhhh doesn't that depend on which way the individual stadium is situated? Or do you mean just for OPACY?

I could be mistaken, but I believe every MLB stadium is facing north (therefore the sun would set over third base). Keeps the sun out of the batter/pitcher's eye. I may be wrong, there may be some facing south...which I guess would have the same affect on batter/pitcher vision...but every time I hear about the shadows creeping onto the field during those twilight games, the shadows always are coming from third base, no matter what stadium it's in.

I can't vouch for whether this is still strictly maintained in newer stadium projects, but you are absolutely correct that the "traditional" stadium orientation has the batter looking northeast toward the mound/CF, and the pitcher looking southwest toward the plate.

Hence the term "southpaw" to describe a lefthanded pitcher.

Hence RF being the "sun" field.

      Thank you. I knew there was something bogus about that post. I saw Cal play SS. And Gunnar is no Cal at SS. Not even close. And this is coming from a big fan of Gunnar. I would like to see him play a traditional power position. Call me old fashioned. He’s hurting the team at SS.

      Interesting.  We live in a data obsessed world now but it's not the answer to everything.  There should be a mix.

      I doubt solid MLB pitchers can be acquired just by trading position players the vast majority of the time.  Look at how we acquired Bradish and Povich -- by trading solid (at the time anyway) MLB level pitchers.  In those trades we were on the other end, but we forced teams to trade good young pitchers for Bundy and Lopez respectively.  Now we did acquire McDermott and Seth Johnson by trading Trey Mancini.  So it does happen that pitching can sometimes be acquired trading only a position player, but Mancini had had a strong major league career to that point.  My point is I don't think you can expect to acquire pitching only by trading position players -- but if you can it may need to be a strong veteran that is not easy to part with. Perhaps we could acquire Tarik Skubal for just Jackson Holliday -- or Holliday plus one or two other strong position prospects.  But that would be a whole other level of a blockbuster trade. Also, I'm not sure how we can say the system is bereft of homegrown minor league pitching talent and then complain that we traded Baumeister and Chace -- two homegrown minor league pitchers that everyone here seems to agree are talented.  We can criticize the trade, but clearly there was and probably still are some desirable arms in the system that we'd rather not trade.  No, none of the ones Elias drafted have made it to the bigs yet, but maybe those two would have been among the first.

      Seth Johnson on the Phillies' "philosophy": Orioles are data driven, Phillies are more "old school". I don't get much out of this but it's a data point. https://www.nbcsportsphiladelphia.com/mlb/philadelphia-phillies/seth-johnson-mlb-debut-phillies-orioles-trade/613582/ “I think the big thing is that Baltimore is very data-based,” he said. “Here’s a nice blend of the numbers and baseball strategy. Kind of old school. And I’ve been really enjoying it so far. For me, it’s kind of simplified everything. Concentrating on basic concepts like moving the fastball around. Not worrying about pitch shapes all the time. Just going out here and trying to pitch.”

      If we have room, why wouldn't we add Pham and Van Loon just to have available depth in AAA (whether or not they are at risk of being taken)?

      I think Young will be added, and that is it. I like Pham, but no AAA experience makes him unlikely to be taken. Whatever open spots should be used to upgrade the bullpen and other pitching depth. It is well documented here that we don’t have much beyond raw guys like Strowd and Heid. we lack flexibility and options. This has to change.
