Yea. I feel the same way. I really do not care strongly one way or another. Sure, I think it's kind of ugly. I also think HR's came pretty cheap before. I like the exciting defensive plays it fosters and of course the random triple & odd carom make for some fun and unique moments. But I don't think it helps or hurts the team in any substantial way short of helping out the pitching a little. I sure don't think the players are changing their approaches. If they keep it as is, that's fine with me. If they modify it some way, that's fine with me as well. It does seem like there is some opportunity for some unique seats down there by modifying it slightly. When I first saw it, it almost appeared like a construction Phase 1. That might be reasoning for pushing it back so far, allows them some flexibility in the future. I also don't buy that a Free Agent RH hitter is going to care at all about the wall. They are getting paid regardless. I'd think that 1-maximizing payday 2-playing for a winner 3-finding a location that suits your family would be your priorities and your long-term stat line would be very close to the bottom of your list of concerns. -
His "ability to play RF" carries about $0 value -
Yeah but if you think most of this money is going to upgrade things that are wrong or need improving, such as the ones @accinfo lists, I think you'll be disappointed. They will be for new features, each one designed to create revenue via premium seating or premium "experience" areas or attractions that bring non baseball fans to the park to spend or sports betting related things. I'm not saying they won't fix some basic things that need it like upgrading the sound system or improving the point of sale technology. I'm sure they will. But the focus is going to be on the new attractions which are all designed with revenue enhancement in mind. -
I’m not a lawyer … perhaps @Frobbymight know. Loss of income, future revenues? Damage to their franchise….Even with MASN the Orioles lost a ton on annual tv revenues -
Congrats to the offense on playing a heck of a game. Lamar was incredible to watch, especially the play when the snap ended up on the ground and he had to run away towards the sideline and still found Likely for the score. It's very frustrating to me that the offense HAD to play so well because of the poor coaching and abysmal defensive play. It's odd to me that Harbaugh still messes up timeout usage after being a coach in the league for over 15 years. -
Can someone in 150 words or less explain to me what DYAR is?

I have a 3 hour round trip to get to games. I can't speak about other directions, but the stadium is very easy to get to from the south...some more traffic with the earlier start times, but overall - games are VERY easy to get to, imo. You don't have the hike through the city to get to games. I'm a rural guy, and it's really not a big deal. We took the light rail from Cromwell for Game 1 (I usually park in BC or FGH) and it was a breeze. We walked out right after the game, and we immediately caught a direct bus that took us back to Cromwell directly. We did the same thing last year. I gotta be honest - I think the "they've been horrible for half the season" reasoning is pretty lame. Even when they were down (and dealing with significant injuries) after the AS break, they were still essentially a lock to make the playoffs. Then they get healthy-ish with some key guys back riiiiight before the playoffs and look great for a couple of series - but I guess it was too late for everyone? Come on. Just say you didn't feel like it. But don't blame August play for not showing up in October.
