Man, Henderson's HR was only an HR in 28/30 parks, he mashed that. AZ and COL would not have been HR's at 422 feet??

With the thin air the ball probably travels further there.

Who has less of a baseball body... DJ Stewart or Vogelbach?

I think with Colorado's thin air it would have traveled far enough to get outta there.

You'd think but statcast says it wouldn't have been a HR, I dunno.

Very cool! Eddie has a great personality.

My Dad used to tell me stories about when he visited Eddie after Eddie invited him to his home back in the mid 80s. Eddie used to have a bunch of arcade video games and pin ball machines in his home that were pretty state-of-art at back in those days. They were fun to have when he had guests, but they seemed to require regular maintenance and upkeep.

Cool story

Looks like DL Hall had a solid outing today. 5 Ks in 2.0 IP

Remember Floyd Rayford?   Fans loved him.

This is a great game for Kyle Gibson's ERA to improve close to under 4.

Vogelbach looks like me. And believe me, it isn't a baseball body.

Kirk and Stewart are similar, except Kirk is actually good.

I love Fredi LOL

But Kirk is only about 4 foot 8.

The in-game Homer stuff is just running the math on what it has… velo, angle, distance, park wall, right?. Does it actually crunch environmental factors? That doesn’t seem likely since it can’t do wind, etc.
