March 6, 201214 yr Author According to the commentators in the highschool game something is gonna have to get done in the future-though they said that the lefty's on the teams said it didn't bother them during batting practice.
March 6, 201214 yr According to the commentators in the highschool game something is gonna have to get done in the future-though they said that the lefty's on the teams said it didn't bother them during batting practice. Yeah, I heard that too. We haven't gotten any players saying it's a problem yet, have we? I've seen Dobbs and Buck say that it "might" be a problem.
March 6, 201214 yr I like how everyone who hates the HR feature hasn't even been to the park. Suggesting that my opinion will change when I see it for the first time?

Yeah, I heard that too. We haven't gotten any players saying it's a problem yet, have we? I've seen Dobbs and Buck say that it "might" be a problem. Correct. No players have said yet that it is definitely a problem for them. There is however a lot of implication that it is expected to be a problem. Maybe I'm just reading too closely but from the Dobbs quote it seems to me like he has a problem with it but just doesn't wanna start problems...

I read it more as "I think it's going to be a problem and if it is, you're going to hear me say so."
March 6, 201214 yr Pictures have never really made much of a difference in other circumstances for me. I would guess that some people (not necessarily you) get caught in the moment. They love everything about the rest of the park and lower their standards with regard to the sculpture. The photos probably don't perfectly replicate the colors, but I see what the design entails and I know it's something I dislike.

I read it more as "I think it's going to be a problem and if it is, you're going to hear me say so." Nah. Here's the quote again: "I won't be the only left-handed hitter saying something. If other teams have a problem with it, they're definitely going to voice their concern to the league." If he was really intends on complaining about it so strongly then I just don't think he would say that other people are going to complain about it also. It just sounds to me like he's afraid of complaining about it now then finding that other lefty's don't have a problem with it. But anyway, let's stop trying to analyze player's thoughts through examining their words...

The photos probably don't perfectly replicate the colors, but I see what the design entails and I know it's something I dislike. It's not about the design or the color (though most of the pictures I've seen on here are ridiculously overexposed), the thing just looks less intrusive in person when you're sitting hundreds of feet from it.

But yeah.
March 6, 201214 yr why hasnt there been a single picture from home plate looking out so you can get an idea.
March 6, 201214 yr From the pictures I've seen, I've definitely come around to loving it in all its acid-trip tackiness, but, if it does pose THAT large a problem...the best solution here is to just figure out a way to make the damned thing retract.

They would have to make that hole in the ground pretty damn big for that back tier.
March 6, 201214 yr Hence why they should have stuck to the original plan of having it pop out of the hiding spot rather than having it visible at all times.

They would have to make that hole in the ground pretty damn big for that back tier. I think it's possible, though. I doubt that 1 Million Dollar thing (or however much it cost) is going to be taken down. At most it'll be moved or something.

I doubt that 1 Million Dollar thing (or however much it cost) is going to be taken down. At most it'll be moved or something. Or maybe it can rotate instead. Still, retracting or rotating, it would have to be damn quick- doesn't it only take like 20 seconds for a player to round the bases?
March 6, 201214 yr I wonder when they are going to paint the batters eye? Making it retractable would be the best way for the display.
March 6, 201214 yr doesn't it only take like 20 seconds for a player to round the bases? Depends on the player. If it's a pitcher, takes about 30. Bonifacio, 14.

No sir, I remembered his 5. 1 in Cincinnati, 1 in Atlanta, 1 in Sun Life and 2 in Milwaukee.
