2023 CWS

The dimensions are actually identical to Rosenblatt, and they're smaller than the home of the Southeastern Conference tournament, the Hoover Metropolitan Complex (340 feet down the foul lines, 385 feet to the power alleys).

Except if faces the opposite direction, rosenblatt faced northwest and Schwabb faces south East so unless you get cool/dry frontal boundary in late June the wind is most likely blowing in. It’s also one of the windiest parts of the country. 10 mph wind knocks a ball back roughly 15 feet. You hear the crowd when a guy crushes it and it’s a fly out not even to the warning track.

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

I get your point. I think the stadium sucks. I’m just saying it’s not like it’s benefitting one particular team. They all have to play on the same field. They have all been “robbed” of home runs. Having said that the pitching has still been phenomenal. I don’t think that can be disputed. The guys for sake who have 31 and 26 homers were whiffing at balls. It’s not like they were hitting them to the warning track every time. Personally I have enjoyed the whole series.

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

The dimensions are the same as they’ve always been.

And I didn’t say it needs to happen now. I said I think it would be a good idea. And only because it would make the game closer to what is played all year.

On a different note (and not to you personally) I just brought this up as an observation. And in true RP form, it’s turned into an argument between a few, and people being called complainers, etc.

My God.

Definitely hasn't robbed anyone of anything and I said I prefer it this way. If all stadiums were setup this way, I think you would see several different teams make it to Omaha each year. The original point is these teams didn't get there with this brand of baseball, and i wish it were the same. I also don't want gorilla ball in Omaha, so id rather this brand be played everywhere all year. Teams who can drive the ball, create offense and run the bases can thrive in omaha...its just hard to get there going on the road and beating these teams at gorilla ball

I think that’s what I’ve been trying to say but you said it better ��

Folks, it’s baseball. Other than the distance between bases and the distance from the rubber to the plate, no two baseball stadiums in the country have the same dimensions or orientation relative to outside forces.

My thoughts exactly.
Unique stadiums are part of what makes baseball great.

It will be interesting to see how these two teams playing tonight maneuver pitching availability. Will they position to get to the finals or position to win if they get to the finals . . .

Anybody who isn't managing to win tonight shouldn't be coaching baseball. You're gonna see LSU's ace tonight.

I will watch then reassess your qualifications as a coach . . . how about Wake’s ace . . .
