Gothamite Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 That’s awesome. I like the varied layouts; home field should convey an advantage, and knowing how to play a ball off the wall can certainly be part of that. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

BBTV Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 How would people feel if Soldier Field had goal posts that were 20 yards wide, while Lincoln Financial had ones that were only two feet wide (and a field that was 80 yards)? I get that it's part of the "charm" of baseball, but that evolved organically due to locations of parks, which for the most part isn't an issue now. It's kind of weird how players are rated by their numbers, and one player can have 50 home runs while a vastly superior player only has 40 because he plays in a much larger home park.

Well, first of all we’re not talking about the width of goal posts any more than we are baseball clubs deciding that they want first base 80 feet from home plate. The basic layout is the same everywhere, only the extremities can be expanded or contracted. And to your example, I don’t think I’d mind if the Eagles were allowed to widen the playing surface at Lincoln Financial Field 10 or 20 feet more than Soldier Field’s. It’s not a problem in soccer; there are minimums and maximums, and within those constraints clubs can decide what size pitch they want to use. The goals are all the same, as are the penalty areas. Just like baseball parks. And just as baseball clubs build their roster to take advantage of their outfield wall, so too do soccer clubs play to the size of their pitch. And I don’t have a problem at all with that. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OaklandIsBack Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Even exact dimensions aren't the same everywhere. Balls will still fly out of Coors, Chase, etc and will still die on the track in SF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every playing field is the same, for better and for worse. I like that about baseball, too. But I wanted the Nats' field to stand out by being symmetrical and deep (maybe even with extra-high walls to make it an extreme pitcher's park). I'm sure, for instance, 340-380-415-380-340 would be unique among parks. 50 minutes ago, OaklandIsBack said: Even exact dimensions aren't the same everywhere. Balls will still fly out of Coors, Chase, etc and will still die on the track in SF I love how all that comes into play. Wrigley Field used to be infamous for very shaggy infield grass that would eat up ground balls, and the old Comiskey Park would dry out or water down the infield depending on the pitchers. Varying field conditions are part of why baseball is great. It's your team, their team, and your surroundings. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as both teams are playing on the same field for a given game, it's fine. To your concern about stats, many of the ~advanced statistics~ take this sort of thing into account. And even if not, folks know to control for park effects just by knowing the league.

Old School Fool Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 The Marlins have to wear the teal hat if they want it to be accurate to 1993 like they're saying they will be but knowing this franchise they're just gonna wear the less cool 1997 uniforms.

I don't want to be right. The day it was announced they said it would be the 1993 Opening Day uniforms which is the all teal cap, not sure why anyone is assuming they'll mess it up. They never wore the all black cap at home in 1993, it was a road alternate until 1995. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
