Motor City Sonics Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!! ♫ It's the most wonderful time of the year ♫ What a great day for baseball, no matter the weather. 28 teams are contenders. 28 fanbases still believe this can be a magical Summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Watching a news story on upgrades to Comerica Park. The new board.... the resolution portion is key. But other than that I don't really care. Just a way for them to increase their advertising options. New TV's throughout. I like that one. A lot of them were old tube TV's that didn't function anymore. Sound system. Long overdue. Sometimes I couldn't even hear the PA announcer. I would hear words but the speakers near us were broken. New sensory room. This is a big deal for a small number of people and kudos for the Tigers for joining in other venues in doing this. I have a son that could utilize it. Today's scene at games and ballparks can be overloading for people with sensory issues. It's a real thing. I'd like to see them paint some of the walls away from that light blue/green color. It looks like some government operation with steal desks and uncomfortable chairs. Like a social security office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was an issue for years at Wrigley, and then when they updated the speaker system (which they ballyhooed all that winter), it was hardly any improvement at all. We're guessing that the natural acoustics attendant to the configuration of the second deck, with its posts and a roof with a mish-mash of exposed girders underneath, defeats any attempts to improve aural intelligibility.

In our case you could tell it was just broken speakers. For a long time we had no issues then suddenly we couldn't hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatkoVarda Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 odd. if they has called Keith up for a day in September, adding him to 40 and 26 man rosters, he would be eligible to create PPI pick. I am more annoyed that Meadows, who has an puncher's shot at ROY, would not create PPI pick because he was not on some media persons list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigermojo Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 It's not just local speculation, national news and odds makers think Skubal has a chance for the Cy Young this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found it amusing that it was headlined in such a matter-of-fact manner. You know, “Here goes Tarik Skubal starting his inevitable Cy Young season!” I think that’s great! 💀 Edited March 29 by chasfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
