bombs away in the Bronx again. 6 home runs in the first game of the Baltimore-NYY doubleheader.
Unfortunately the Yankees have hit 4 of the 6

So double header tomorrow?
The reason is that the Astros had to come up with a hard standard for closing/opening the roof and that standard is a heat index of 84+ for a day game, 88+ for a night game, or below 65 for a night game. This is to prevent MLB from dictating the roof be open for a playoff game when it is 40-something outside, a la the 2005 WS.jkag89 said:
My problem with retractable roof stadiums is that the tend to be closed more than open. We had an usually wonderful weather this past July, a chance to have the roof open at MM for a day game during the middle of summer.. Was it? NO. I understand why certain cities need domed parks. Most do not.
Then this should be changed to a higher heat index. It was an absolutely beautiful day, made for baseball outside. It was an absolute shame the roof was closed.Quote:
While the weather was nice for July during that week, the heat index was still over 84.
they had it open for a day game in early april last season when it was about 50 at first pitchdlance said:The reason is that the Astros had to come up with a hard standard for closing/opening the roof and that standard is a heat index of 84+ for a day game, 88+ for a night game, or below 65 for a night game.

October is a nice month for outdoor baseball in Houston but the roof will be shut to create crowd noise. I personally don't think the difference of crowd noise between open and closed roof makes any difference but I know few agree with me.
