IdahoBert Posted June 19 Posted June 19 I asked Google AI about the possibility of playing baseball at Ford Field - because of the rain thing and the tornadoes - and this is babble it gave me: [NB ~ I’m glad the major league soccer team decided against “retrofitting“ Ford Field with a retractable roof. That was a very wise idea on their part] AI Overview While Ford Field in Detroit is primarily an indoor football stadium its design could potentially accommodate a baseball game. However, it would require significant modifications and likely wouldn't be a typical baseball field layout. For example, a proposed Major League Soccer expansion team considered playing at Ford Field but decided against retrofitting it with a retractable roof. This suggests that substantial changes would be needed to make it suitable for a different sport like baseball. Additionally, Ford Field's layout incorporates a former warehouse, which influences the placement of suites and seating, and it's unclear how these unique features would adapt to baseball field dimensions.

oblong Posted June 19 Posted June 19 We shouldn't have games before May 1 beause it's too cold, we shouldn't have games between June 15 and Aug 25 b/c it's too hot and potential for storms all the time, and the world series runs into late October and it's too cold for that. New proposal. 2 mini seasons of 40 games each between May 1-Jun 15 and Aug 20 and Oct 3. Each winner plays in a 7 game WS from Oct 6-15. No divisions. No leagues. If one team wins both halves then we don't need a world series and can move on to the other sports. 1 Quote

Knock down Fenway and Wrigley, with climate change, humans need to adapt. Quote

Tenacious D Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Ain’t gonna lie—won’t be brokenhearted to avoid Skenes today. Quote
GalagaGuy Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Can't believe Skubal declined the match-up with Skenes. Quote

Sports_Freak Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Fanduel Sports had a good interview of Donnie Kelly. He talked about Leyland hitting him 2nd in a lineup in New York (Kelly hit a home run.) I remember saying the same thing Kelly did in the interview..."what was Leyland thinking, hitting Don Kelly 2nd?" 😅 I have a hard time rooting against former Tigers who i admire. While Kelly wasn't a regular, he was a valuable part of those Leyland teams. Donnie Baseball always came ready to play! Quote
Sports_Freak Posted June 19 Posted June 19 A mad Skubal is a dangerous Skubal. Jason said it best "I'm not sure if you want to lead off the 2nd." Quote
Tigermojo Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Heany up to 52 pitches already. Have to love this lineup. There's usually someone who steps up. Quote
monkeytargets39 Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Heaney still in….Don Kelly is rooting for us apparently Quote
