Popete posted:Yankee Stadium looks like it was influenced by Soviet bloc apartment architecture. I had a bad experience sitting in the bleachers, so whatever you do don't get bleacher seats. I guess the rest of the stadium is fine though, the food was nothing special from what I remember. The bleachers at Yankee stadium are the loving worst. And filled with enough trash people that the last time I was there the beer vendors only let you get 1 beer per person. But you'll enjoy it if you like being right in front of the speaker that plays the PC Richardson whistle a dozen times per game. The rest of the stadium is meh at best. It's just not a good stadium. It's like seeing a game at a big concrete mall. Citi field is very pleasant, if a bit more of a hassle to get to. Muuuuuch better food.

Inspector_666 posted:I think that's the case for all of the walking vendors. Even the stands only let you buy 2 beers per ID. I got push back from the cart vendors last time I sat in the bleachers, but that was like 3 years ago (haven't sat there since). I just didn't think it was a great experience and also I got sick of the "dee-dee-dee-de-deeee" right behind my head pretty fast. I wasn't even rooting against the Yankees that day. (iirc they were playing the Rangers that day) The nonbleacher seats are OK, I guess. I've been to about 2/3 of the parks in the US and Yankee stadium doesn't really crack the top half of experiences, which seems inexcusable for a team with their history and payroll. The only real upside is that getting there by subway is pretty easy.

Carlosologist posted:lmao Pirates fans, I'm sorry As an Astros fan, this is pretty lol-worthy We're not *that* far removed from those 100-loss tanking seasons Inspector_666 posted:I won't defend Yankee Stadium as a whole (although most the nostalgia for the older one was just based on it being seasoned, the new one is actually objectively nicer in a lot of ways) either. It definitely did not keep up with the improvements that we're seeing at new parks around the league. Improving the concessions would go a really long way, though. Yeah, that's fair. I haven't personally had a problem with the fans at Yankee stadium or anything and I've been as an away fan several times (though this may change if Astros-Yankees becomes a real rivalry). It's not an unpleasant experience, it just doesn't stack up to other stadiums and it's comparatively much more expensive. I'd probably like it more if I were a Yankees fan, but I don't have any particular reverence for their history. AT&T Park is probably my favorite experience I've had, though I'll always have a soft spot for Camden Yards

b0ng posted:While true, they at least seem interested in acquiring good players to keep the win-train going. Yeah, I'm grateful for that at least. And unlike the current rash of teams attempting to blindly tank their way to fun and profit, the Astros had a real need to enact their strategy given how bare the cupboard was after the team changed hands. I thought Wrigley was cool but I wasn't there as an opposing fan. Although it seems like people don't wash their hands there after they use the restroom

Feels Villeneuve posted:Entertainment is not defined as "what makes MLB the most money". That's a very sad way of looking at things. when making money is tied to how many people watch your product and for how long, it's going to overlap pretty significantly with a notion of entertainment

Intruder posted:Left field unless you think either Fisher is going to break out (hopeful) or first half Marwin was the real deal (less hopeful) You bring up a good point--I'd say that I believe the odds are good that one of those two will be true this year, but probably not both, which is why I think we're fine not bring in someone to play LF

Intruder posted:I also think DH because Gattis's numbers just aren't good enough to be an everyday DH but it worked last year with Beltran thrown in who was pretty bad so Yeah, "who else would we even sign to replace Gattis" was going to be my response. I agree that Gattis' numbers aren't quite good enough to warrant full-time DH usage but he was still a positive-WAR guy in 2017 and it's not as though bats are a problem for the team
