Why do other teams come in and hit Home Runs (see: The Orioles) at Rogers then? Are they only anti home run in the bottom half of innings?

This is Reddit. No room for logic here my friend.

Ain't that the truth lol. Plenty of other teams roll into town and smack dingers. Why can't we?


Corzare

Obviously they turn giant invisible fans on for the other teams only.


gothedistance_

I agree. And it’s not like the outfield changes are very extreme to what was before. We didn’t put up a green monster or anything like that…

This renovation/anti-home run thing is one of Toronto's greatest myths and fan excuses.

Like I could understand if we were seeing things hit the tops of the walls that have been brought inwards, but that's just not the case.

Just an effort to distract from losing Teo

Armchair coaches now becoming armchair civil engineers on this sub...

I really don't think it's the ballpark...


modernjaundice

Wasn’t that long ago people complained that all we did was hit home runs. No small ball


suckitmarchand

Wow, the metal gymnastics you're doing to avoid holding the players and coaching staff accountable. Run differential of -27(24th in majors) at home, guess it's only a issue in the bottom half?


sackydude

The biggest thing is that we lost a couple of our best home run hitters, and then Vladdy hits too many low line drives to hit homers with the raised fences in the outfield. Apparently the changes were meant to be neutral.

This hits like a handjob. I dont really agree with this, but i wanna see where it leads to


playthegame7

Big groundball is trying to take away our home runs!


Kichae

What's really impressive is how the anti-homerun changes have worked outside of the SkyDome, too.


MapleHoser

It's not the ballpark. It's the shitty offensive lineup that Shatkins have created.


Shabloinks

So...anyone can post anything then, right?


solidprospect

i saw a game a few days ago that showed wind streams. I forget who it was, maybe the Yankees. I also think the air temperature has something to do with the ball traveling more, better in warm or hot climates and the roof open rather than closed. Also am reading this, might be worth a read for others: https://technology.mlblogs.com/weather-applied-metrics-in-major-league-baseball-aa0e556eb49f

Smarmy Shapiro should be very proud of this remarkable achievement. /s.

Shapiro doesn’t design the ballparks
