2023 CWS

I wish this style was how baseball was played all year at every park.

My sentiments exactly!

Pitching gets better across the board the further you get into the playoffs. New stars are found on the mound. That has just as much impact on scoring as the conditions associated with this field.

I’m sure Omaha didn’t build a new stadium downtown without a long term NCAA deal.

Easy solution would be to bring in the fences a little, but I personally like that you have to manufacture runs there and actually create offense.

How about have the super regional teams at two sites (world series type locations) Playing double Elim style against 8 teams rather than two out of three against one team at home as they do now. Then have those two "champs" advance to a two team "real" world series, at a location based on the suggestions made here....and Maybe even bump it up to 3/5

You could make the same argument that these pitchers are facing better lineups than they have all year as well. But are now dominating.

It’s like the softball World Series being played with a 300’ fence after playing all year at 220’ (or less).

I don’t mind the style of play (although I think it’s unfair to make 407’ outs-into the wind-like the last batter for TCU did). I just think it doesn’t make sense to play 65 games to get there and then it’s a completely different game to decide the champion.

It’s not moving so it is what it is. But I think bringing the fences in about 8-10 feet all the way around would be a good idea.

They have already moved the fences in.

They have already brought the fences in. Are you saying it needs to happen again?

No they haven’t, it’s the same dimensions as rosenblatt was, just facing the opposite direction so the wind is always blowing in, instead of out.

Florida had like 3 or 4 in that game that woulda been dingers as well. I think it all kinda evens out. Eventually the better teams win.

Comparing the dimensions between Omaha and the Tigue...Omaha has 5 extra feet down the lines and 8 extra feet in CF. RCF and LCF are 375ft in both parks.

We have talked about the Tigue being a tough place to hit, but I think this shows just how tough it is. You really have to get a hold of one to hit it out of the Tigue.

The 8 CWS teams combined have almost 900 home runs on the season, they have had what 15 the whole series?
