At Camden Yards there are little plaques all around that warn you about potential balls or bats entering the stands and they make an announcement about them before the game.


And they don't have extended netting right?

However most of the time on a home run ball everyone starts standing up in the area so you would have time to react. That is going to be the case on most fly balls in general. The only way you aren't going to be able to react to that is if you are completely unaware of your surroundings, in which case it is your own fault.

It's only on the hard line drive that sometimes even athletes aren't always quick enough to react to that average joe needs protection from.

They do the same at citi. There are plaques and announcements. That's done everywhere in pretty sure. I just feel that if you are willing to sit in that lower field area you have to be willing to accept the risk of being hit by a ball. If I went to a baseball game and I was concerned with being injured by a foul ball or I had kids and o was afraid they'd be hit by a ball then I would make sure to purchase seats that would not put me in any danger.

Putting up netting ruins it for people who are willing to take that risk in order to have a better experience. So to yazzy I would say for example then don't sit at field level if that concerns you. Why is that a problem?

Why is Wigs a lunatic?

Do you know how fast baseballs come off of bats? Or how difficult it can be to gauge if it's coming at you in the second you have to react? Or how hard it can be to get out of the way even if you are aware because of how little room you have to maneuver? Is a five year old an idiot for not being able to get out of the way of a line drive?

You sound like a fucking maniac. Do you think the people sitting behind home plate mind a little protective netting "obscuring their view"? Get over yourself you nut.

hooo felt good to get that off my chest lmao

I was in a bad mood at work today and I saw that story and it ticked me the wrong way.

But for real, if your concern is being hit by a ball, then maybe just don't purchase a seat in an high risk for foul ball area? There's no need for netting down the line. Behind home plate, sure no shit.

Or at least if you're going to force netting you need to first make it unobstructive because it sucks ass to look through netting.

That's all. Sorry for the profanity explosion.

I say I'll be satisfied for life by one ring but 5 years out I'll be dying for more? Maybe?

As a NY Giants fan, I feel set for a little while still on super bowl rings. But i also care way more about baseball obv. I'd like to be able to say "hey at least we won last year" as a fallback for when things go wrong. Would've been nice in 2016 to be able to say that.

I mean, having a good enough team to get to the playoffs is one thing that is a lot more reliable, but it's so random once you get there it's hard to ask for mutliple in a short period. Not saying I wouldn't crave it though...

I'll add my two cents into the ring discussion.

Won't be too upset if the Cubs don't win this year, or maybe even next. But if they can't pull one out again with how much talent they currently have in their arsenal, I'll be pretty unsatisfied. Obviously, the organization isn't a shitshow anymore, so I think we'll be good for a long while.

That being said, I cared significantly less about football and college basketball this year, the only other sports I watch. I probably didn't even watch 10 regular season games combined.

That would make me happy! I am glad to see him do well. That Cespedes trade was one of the best in Mets history. It doesn't matter who we gave up. That trade allowed the end of the 2015 season to happen. It was a great win-win trade for both teams. Any mets fan would do that trade again every time

The greater misfortune of another club does not mean other clubs cannot be unfortunate. So no teams anywhere are allowed to be unlucky or cursed because of the Jose Fernandez tragedy?
