Whitewashed in '05 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I know the cell has become more of a launching pad every year so is there anyway that they can tweak that? I mean it would be easier on our pitchers and we all know pitching wins games so have they ever considered making more foul ground space and/or moving the fences a little bit more back. I think it could help our pitchers a lot but would it be a great idea? I haven't heard anything like this before so that's why I am wondering could this benefit us?

greasywheels121 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 We could do what Minnesota does.... Have the wind blow in when we're out on the field and blow out when we're up to bat. Why hasn't anyone thought of this? Come on Reinsdorf, you've got enough money to control the weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Like I said before. This was the first year with the renovations and I think its pretty safe to say they made it more of a hitters park. But at the same time I think we should see what another year does. I expect it to still be a hitters park, but maybe it won't be quite as drastic. And at the same time the Sox offense did have quite a few good hitters. Of course opponents ripped the crap out of us too, then again our pitching wasn't what I'd call stellar. However, if it plays out the same way, I wouldn't mind seeing the fences in left moved back, although realistically I don't know if they could do it with the bullpens over there.

Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 We can't afford to lose more seats I'd imagine. I think that right now we have one of the better parks in the game (for a fan anyways). I would keep the park how it currently is and just tweak personnel. I however worry about our "grinder" fixation which I fear could lead to teams out-homering us at home which would be unacceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I have no statistical basis for this but I would imagine that modern teams (not like the 87 cards) who get outhomrerd at home are not successful. I'll have to do some reserach and come back to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
