FlamingLiberal posted:Yeah I don't see that lasting, not with this infield I picked a couple of their infielders in an all-suck league and they're really letting me down. I think I'll come up the winner on those picks in the end, though. It's weird that they actually have the core of a not-bad team if they would just spend some money on major league players for non-outfield/pitching positions.

cams posted:Nuh uh, there's the Pond right there and the Grove down the street, so you can go see an Angels game, a Ducks game, and a Reel Big Fish concert all in the same day! Because its nice to have cool places to go within walking distance before/after the game? I've never been to the Angels stadium but I'll say from my road trip last year that Wrigley and PNC were much better than Miller Park because they both have a lot going on in the immediate area around the stadium. (Ok, Miller is a really bad comparison because they have awesome tailgating, but other than that its out on its own little island surrounded by parking lots).

Let's move angels stadium to that hip young part of orange county with nightlife, a great bar and restaurant scene, and an awesome view of the skyline... Actually just spin the stadium so the crystal cathedral is in the batters eye. Real talk you could probably find a location with a nice view of the saddlebacks, there is tons of room in Irvine's great park area but I bike that area a lot and there is fuckall out there.

Santheb posted:I know he's a liability in the outfield and doesn't have great durability, but damnit I wish the Nationals had found a way to keep goofy rear end Mike Morse and his big bat around. Every time I see him crush a 425 foot bomb I die a little on the inside I never really paid attention to Morse before this season, but now that he's a Giant I love him (go figure). He is very hard to dislike. I know he's a disaster in the field, but it really hasn't come up so far this season and I find myself wishing Bochy would leave him in the game longer.

cams posted:The Orange Circle is like a 15 minute walk away, you can go hit up the cool kid bars with the rest of the Christian college students from Chapman. The Circle is actually pretty fun but it's way farther away than that. The Block is awful. I don't know that there is a solution, since the Great Park would be even worse, but it's still in a pretty boring spot. Also I do not believe for the second that the Great Park will ever be anything except a gigantic under construction mound of dirt.

Yeah but what about in Tampa where there are 5k people and each one is an echo chamber on every pitch God drat do I hate those things. I can at least drown out a guy repeatedly calling a player's name.

I was considering going to the game because I like to collect weird giveaways but then I remembered that I'd have to listen to those drat things for 3 hours and would miss half of the Wild game as well.

Footage of the 1919 World Series from an old news reel appeared on YouTube More information on the sabr website quote:The newsreel was originally filmed by British Canadian Pathé News and preserved for decades in an old swimming pool-turned-hockey rink in Dawson City until it was re-discovered in the Canadian national archive this January by Chicago filmmaker Bill Morrison, according to a story last month by the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch. It is not the first footage available of the 1919 World Series — in which eight members of the Chicago White Sox were banned for intentionally throwing the Series to the Cincinnati Reds — but it is perhaps the highest quality video available of the games on the field.

He's only a disaster compared to players who are defensive replacement. Compared to the people who could hit, he's worse than Melky Cabrera and that's about it. I don't see his defense being so bad that they regret it.

I don't know what it's like having "things to do" at a ballpark. The thing to do after you watch a Phillies game is go home, because it is surrounded by warehouses for 15 minutes driving in all directions. Xfinity Live has almost started to count.

Ballparks being near stuff is bad, Fenway makes life difficult when you want to do other stuff in the area on a weeknight. Granted Boston does its best to make things difficult on its own.

Orange circle is pretty dead at night the last time I was there and is certainly not walkable from angels stadium. ~the outlets~ is awful despite being my go-to mall since I live 5 mins away. Great park was kind of cool when you could ride the balloon for free but its like 10 bucks to view a desolate retired airstrip now. Angels stadium would be nice if your view of the outfield wasnt: parking lot, train station, cement riverbed, freeways, and then the pond. Being within a mile of 4 major freeways, several bus lines and a train station with amazing parking really makes the current location the best option.

If you walk to Kenmore and instead of going down the entrance on the sidewalk with everyone else walk to the big glass bus area you can usually go right down the the train and bypass the huge crush of people.

I want every player that comes out of the bullpens for any kind of delay of game to be suspended for one game, if you want to speed up the game and you occasionally have a benches emptying thing, fine, the bullpens do nothing except waste another two minutes by jogging out, standing around, then jogging back. It's loving stupid and I'm sick of seeing it.
