Interesting articles on ESPN and other sites. Its early, but we may have an explanation for those high-scoring games in New York. Apparently the configuration of the seating may have inadvertantly created some sort of wind tunnel effect blowing to right field. Rival team scouts have sent the word out around baseball that Yankee Stadium now plays more like Coors Field.

That may be exciting for fans, but the Yankees may have screwed themselves with their $1.5 Billion-dollar ballpark. If you want to compete, you do NOT want a hitter's paradise. Good pitchers are rarer and harder to sign as free agents than hitters. You can find a lot of servicable hitters and a few superstar bats every year, but only the best teams have good pitching. If the new stadium plays short, the Yankees could have problems getting free agent pitchers to wear pinstripes. There are plenty of wealthy teams that play in good pitchers parks.

LMAO

You don't think that the spankme's might have thought of this?

fucking nice.

Is it possible that Kyle Farnsworth creates some type of thermal effect causing the ball to sail out of the park every time he pitches?

LMAO

You'd think that the sweat from the nervous fans would create such a thick swampy atmosphere.

all the balls seemed to be hammered to me.

Hey al, did you hear that Bannister was pulled after 2 innings yesterday, with a reliever already warmed up in the pen? Is Banny going to pitch Ramz' spot on Wednesday?
We need a general Royals discussion thread. Minor league happenings and what not...

Weren't there people whom they Yankees could have consulted about this?

Guess that wasn't part of the bill.

They talked about this on the radio today. Nothing verified. Just intense speculation. /not al, but what the ****.../

i bet they try to steal a small market's ballpark.

Thanks Deez. I don't listen to the local radio. They usually miss this stuff. I'm surprised they were on it.

I don't really understand this, knowing the layout of the area. If the buildings are the same shape then why would it be so drastically different?
