Eh, too premature to be saying that. We'll see what happens in an actual stadium in KC later this month when Cain, Hosmer, Escobar, Ventura, and Vargas aren't all hurt at the same time.

Minute Maid is like some of those old historical parks. They used to be really short down the lines and forever away in center field. Polo Grounds was like 260 or 270 down the line and 450 feet to center field. Just the way it is.

I'll never understand why MLB doesn't have uniform field dimensions like other professional sports leagues??

Long road trip, last series before getting home, injuries, good opponent --- just a perfect storm. Disappointed our bullpen is the one that blinked tonight. Not sure that happened once last year.

I like the unique stadiums and dimensions the MLB offers. It's one of the thing I enjoy about baseball.

The train is a tribute to the old Union Train Station. Its actually pretty cool. You're right about Tal's Hill though, it's being removed after the season. Ive always felt it was dangerous. The shallow LF Crawford boxes get bailed out by the massive CF measurements. All in all its a very nice venue to watch a game.

Turf/grass, dead spots (Boston Garden), lighting differences, etc. Other sports have their unique characteristics as well, but baseball is certainly the most pronounced.

I'm ok with the character from park to park, but the hill in center field is stupid and borderline dangerous to a player.

Yea, I'm sure it's just part of baseballs tradition.


But doesn't MLB have final say on a stadiums outfield dimensions and unique quirks? Or can a city just do whatever it wants?


If I was an owner, Could I just build 250' down the lines if I wanted to just because?

It's amazing what our record is considering our injuries, suspensions and our SP being pretty bad. Hopefully things won't come down to earth.

Love this club, but obviously the SP rotation needs an upgrade to take the next step. The good thing is Dayton Moore knows this.

There are MLB mandated minimums as far as fence distances, I'm almost positive.

Thats a solid ball club. Kicked our nuts pretty good. See ta in KC late July with a hopefully stabilized rotation.
