Gian-Claude Van Damme Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I need to know what the rule is for walkoffs in terms of extra base hits. That was clearly going to be a double if not a triple, what does Gabby get credited with? I'm pretty sure it's along the lines of what I posted in the game thread. On a game winning hit, a batter is credited for the full number of bases only if "the batter runs out his hit."

Admin Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Nats just walkedoff too, blah. They are going to surprise a lot of people. They have been having some trouble scoring runs lately, but their pitching has been so good it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had to be above 30 thousand. 30k That's the paid attendance, I think. It definitely filled up more once the game got going, but I doubt that 30k made it through the gates judging by the TV images.

Anonymous Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think it was around 30K. If it wasn't, it's damn close. At least, it looked that way to me. If we win big, our attendance will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think many people who actually follow baseball would be surprised, they've been the sleeper pick for a lot of people to make the playoffs. Though they still are playing surprisingly well despite the injuries to Morse and Storen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max from the site was at the game and estimated about 25k in the stands which I think is probably about right based on what I could see on TV.

I think that the no-show rate is usually about 15-20%, so 25k in the stands sounds pretty right. That's not a set number, though. I think that at the old park the percentage was often much higher than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikol87 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 So we only sold 80% of the seats for the 2nd game ever in the park? I know it's the Astros, but doesn't that seem bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, no, especially considering all the other circumstances in Miami tonight.

Watcha talkin bout Willis? Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Great game. First time I went to the park and it was awesome. It's also pretty convenient that the stadium is only 20 minutes away if I go walking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just gave you two great ones. Plus it's Miami. Plus it's against the Astros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I'd think that the second night of the coolest ballpark ever should trump all of that. I guess I'm just not one to make excuses when it comes to attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 By the way, I love the dimensions of this park. I hope they keep them the same after this season instead of moving the fences in like they did at Citi Field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citi required 3 years of playing before fences got moved in, so probably be the same amount of time for this park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Claude Van Damme Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 There's an article in the Miami Herald discussing the many empty seats. http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/04/13/2747642/despite-miami-heats-big-victory.html It mentions possible reasons, some of which were mentioned here such as the Heat and Panthers playing the same night, but also brings into play the comments by Ozzie.

I guess I'm just not one to make excuses when it comes to attendance. Well you simply cannot discount the fact that there were about 40,000 other sports fans buying tickets to other events going on that the same time. Not to mention that you have to add on who knows how many other local sports fans that chose to watch on TV so that they can see all 3 events at the same time on top of that number. I don't think this is an excuse for attendance...this was a legitimate reason. Having all 3 games go on at the same time in the same region hurts all 3 teams attendance wise. You don't think that of the approximately 40,000 Heat/Panthers ticket buyers, at least a few thousand of them wouldn't have chosen to attend the Marlins game last night had the other event(s) not have been taking place? I'm proof of this...I would have gone to the Marlins game, but I chose to go to the Panthers game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entendu Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Really getting tired of Hanley sucking and this park is too big, but all things considered nice win and nice to be 3-4... Nolasco wasn't anything special. Heath Bell? People say Gaby is an "average" 1st baseman but he comes up with some pretty "Tebow" like clutch hits. Fish win! Is there a way to not read what certain posters write? You aren't even a good troll. I feel as if you just discovered that picture recently and think it applies to you. It doesn't, honestly.
