If that's the court from the main camera angle, the x is the dude with the sonics flag.
When the team was taken in such a sickening matter, then only a few years later they make it to the NBA finals largely due to the contributions of two players that were drafted when the team was here and are now superstars... I'd say that's bound to open up those wounds again, and I think we...
I've been rooting for the Heat for a while now. I feel like one of the only people, who isn't a Heat, fan ho had no problem with what they did down there. They're a fun team to watch, then when the Thunder made it to the Finals I went into full on, although very temporary, Miami Heat fan mode. I...
Consdering the days they're missing are tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that, I'm pretty sure there's not enough time to appeal. Missing 2 OTAs and a workout won't kill them.
Early on the land available dictated the design of the field, that's why in Boston you have the green monster. There was no room for a left field fence of normal depth since there's a street runniing by there. So they made the green monster to compensate. For a while in the 60s, 70s, 80s field...
Field A was Coors Fiels in denver, field B was Safeco. They are very similar looking, the walls look pretty much the same except flipped. Safeco has a taller wall down the line in left, Coors has one in right. Regardless the angles and heights of the walls are not accounting for 40+ home runs...
Field A:
Dimensions: Left field- 347, left-center field- 390, center field- 415, right-center field 375, right field 350
Average of 182.4 home runs hit here the last 5 seasons; reputation as one of the best hitter's parks in ther league. Also the home run numbers have gone up the past couple...
There's no way to completely eliminate varibles, weather is a huge varible. Coors Field is a huge field and due to the thin air there's always a lot of homers hit there. In fact, Coors Field is roughly the same size as Safeco Maybe even a little bigger.
Not every sabermetric requires calculus...
Not necesarily, again, New Yankee Stadium is right next to where Old Yankee Stadium was but the ball flies out of there, especially to right field. And OPS+ is an example of a stat that takes into account the ball park a player plays in. There are plenty of calcuus level baseball statistics...
That's why there's a large presence of advanced statistical analysis in baseball. Plus, like I said before, just because a park is the same size as another one doesn't mean they're equally balanced.
We have some other guys from the UK, but I'm not sure any of them have posted here in a while.
As for anything else about the team you should know... I don't know what you know about the team, so I don't know what you should know... Been kind of quiet since the Winslow trade and probably will...
You complain about baseball being boring and then you suggest watering down the designs of the parks? Couple reasons, firstly is because baseball is a game full of tradition, some parks were constructed unconventionally because of the location. Take Fenway Park in Boston for example, they didn't...
