  1. What a wonderful article Who would of thought at the break, Great Job to the whole orginazation,
  2. Yankee stadium right field is a Joke,
  3. 6) What impact will the October ballparks have on home runs? There won't be any games at Coors Field this October, but on the other hand, there won't be any games in offense-suppressing parks like Miami or San Francisco, either. One way we can look at this is to use Statcast data that evaluates how many parks each home run would have been out of, based on distance and height of fences. For example, this Brett Gardner home run from April would have been out of just one other park aside from Yankee Stadium -- Houston. So, we can use that to see which October parks have allowed the highest percentage of "easy" homers, which we'll define as "homers that would have been out of 10 or fewer parks." 23% -- Minute Maid Park 20% -- Yankee Stadium 15% -- Dodger Stadium 12% -- Miller Park 10% -- Oakland Coliseum 9% -- Nationals Park 6% -- Busch Stadium 5% -- Tropicana Field 4% -- Target Field 1% -- SunTrust Park Houston (61 such "easy" home runs) and New York (49) were easily the top two parks for non-crushed home runs, so the more games we have in those parks, the more home runs we'll get. This should tell you a little about how hard it is to get the ball out in Minnesota and especially in Atlanta, which has had something of a mistaken reputation as a new "launching pad."
  4. It also surprised me, but when broke down to responsibilities for every infielder , intresting
  5. Mlb network just spent 10 min going over what should of been done on that play , saying it was Arraez ball all the way - they slowed it down to where Arraez was waving and calling, and theres a practiced rotation that went ALL wrong,, broke it down real well, bottom line to them Duffey looked lost on standing there, and turtle also wasent paying attention , Arraez ball according to the way its all practiced in spring training and ??.didnt matter what area of the mound which surprised me. And even said Duffey should of been moving Tortuga out of the way, neat seeing how Harold and them spent alot of time on it, Arraez hope ur not hurt ,
  6. Tyler, B, Duffey 2 DAYS in a row ????
  7. Hope we get Max back, watching philly and washington , Blake Parker just pitched to Brian Dozier, now Matt Morin is in,, Luck or not Gotta hand it to front office with the way the bullpen has developed, And how important they will be now with 2 Starters, Ya lets get this done Quick , 1ST TIME IN 9 YEARS, Loving it,
  8. Good take - makes sense , Thats why it probably wont happen ?
  9. I am more concerned about Max, all Rocco ever says - coming along nicely, tired of that, did the same with Byron - remember, how that turn out Need Max back healthy
  10. Great saturday of baseball, how would it feel to be a fan of Baltimore and detroit,, We have more wins than them combined, Winning is Fun
  11. hope we get a o.f. of Eddie- Max-Cave at least, . Wade and Lamarre have no reason to be seen again, maybe Wade ? and Sano at 1b, would help, Dont wanna see Cron either
  12. And the Yankees hit 6 home runs broke there record from last year and r tied with the twins, And they lost 12-11 funny!!!
  13. I want to see Kiriloff,, Cubs called up there 2018 1st rd pick from a.a. all he did is get 3 hits his first game, would rather see him over Wade- lamarre- the fast kid ? even maybe over cave, WHY NOT -- Service time , Thats getting old, More and more teams r calling up younger guys, Why not us ??
  14. They can think about losing 2-3 to the sox, and without a great catch they get SWEPT
  15. Bremer, sit back and let Bert and kaat talk old school baseball, Gonna enjoy this series Mr. Kaat has always been a favorite of mine,
  16. Well then - Lets start the series with a win, kind of relieves alot of these comments
