https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2919611/unsolved-mystery-how-did-rogers-centre-become-a-pitchers-park

 

Oddly enough, on my ride into work this morning, I was wondering how the stadium is performing this year and BAM - The Score does an article on it. Seems odd the Jays and the architects/engineers who did the reno wouldn't have a very solid grasp on how the changes would impact the park factor and such. Unless this is what they wanted (barf). Seems like it's way off what they expected.

 

Such a mess if it ends up being a pitchers park long-term. Nobody wants this s***

But when those downgrades started to be made, many of those same posters were fighting against those who saw the obvious flaws. It seems like a shock to some of you but many of us saw stupid move aft

Hey all, I have zero hope until they cut the head off the snake. Shapiro has to go, NOW. New Prez, new GM, new development system.   We are currently the laughing stock of baseball, no one takes our

The whole pitchers park thing is nonsense. Our hitters suck and our starting pitchers + defense have been awesome so of course there will be less offense the past 1.5 seasons. Not rocket science.

 

Yeah except you can compare how other teams play when they’re here vs at home lol

Park factors are so tricky

 

Nobody thought it would be anything other than hitters park or neutral but it must be the air resistance or something.

 

Maybe filling in the stands and removing the air gaps between the wall and the seats has created more resistance or headwind?

 

Very bizarre

 

You see this in other parks but they tend to be outside when big buildings are added or removed and it changes how actual wind blows through the stadium

There's a fancy wind tunnel at the University of Western. You'd think they'd have had that all figured out before the built it...

It was a clear difference between 2022 to 2023, has to have something to do with the 500s OF seats being taken out and wind blowing through i’d think

Would be pretty unheard of for an independent league signing to make the jump straight to the majors. He's almost certainly assigned to one of our levels, as everyone shifts a level up to make up for the MLB pitcher spot (Manoah) being replaced by a minor leaguer who's called up.

So what we have shown we can beat the worst team in the league 5/6 times and now theres nothing but rumors everywhere that we are looking to add. Please this has to be ******** media drama, unless we can nab 17 or 18 wins in June and continue that pace the rest of the way the season is a loss. Maybe Atkins is grasping at straws knowing he is on his last legs??

The leak WAS true. Only thing different is the Nike swoosh not being yellow

 

Yep the leak was accurate but the low res photos of the leak look a lot different than what we are seeing now.

I'm not sure how it works, but maybe there were a few slightly different treatments done up? The leak could have been an ultimately rejected version.

The originals were knockoffs from Mexico man.

 

To be honest, I like them. I like the hat. I think they are better than most the City Connects (which isn't saying a lot). Maybe Top 3-5 I've seen?

We were all saying how ugly they were before the official reveal

 

In fairness those ones were knockoffs I think that definitely looked worse than the official ones.

 

The official ones are still whatever but they're not the worst in the league or anything.

No I don’t think they’re worst but they’re nowhere bear being “good”.

 

They’re so f***ing boring… half the city connects are som variation of Navy or Black
