Frankebasta - Interested in hearing more about your ballpark comments from a while back. Curious if in the past you've ever experimented with having your walls further back? And if so how did those results compare to your current ballpark? (big difference? small difference?)




(moving the thread here)

this season, Mules have a terrible record at home (27-27) compared to the road (29-17).
B
Mules's home, Six Flags over Laredo,
is the smallest possible with the highest walls allowed. EXTREME!

Extreme failure as well!

I went this way out of desperation for SP
I have currently only 2 SP i can trust.
5 more SP i counted on are too HR prone, or allow a BAA over .300
I hoped that an extreme ballpark would allow me to use them, at home at least.
No such luck: they suck all the same.
A common home gave for Mules is 5 hits me and 10 for the opponents. Experiment failed.


I tried any kind of ballpark dimensioms!, over the years:
- different wall heights (Left/Right), to match my power hitters. It doesn't work

- extreme big outfield. BA is higher, HRs are low, more double

- extreme small outfield. Low BA

all as advertised in the rulebook.
I discovered no winning formula, no trick to break the game.

To answer shikago: i cannot make a comparison really. it depends on the players you have.
I don't like for SB, but i have 4 great base stealers so I'm running.
Last season Flores hit 41 HRs, this year he won't reach 20. I don't think it's the ballpark, but his form rather

Today is Last chance to update ballparks after spring ends you're going to wait till next season.
I have not changed my ballpark for about 16 seasons now. Only thing I changed is seating added more as I came up higher league. But my turf/small foul territory configuration has kept my batting average up and my Pitcher batting average against high. Should I go grass medium foul? I like my Dome maybe Steve could ad Domed grass option in ballparks?

Well, um, if you were to have a domed grass stadium, all the grass would die, because there’s no sunlight. That’s what happened when the Astrodome was built.

Even ballparks with retractable domes have artificial surfaces, right?

I’m silly. My bad haha.

I guess so, but it would still be a minor frivolity.
