Can someone explain to me why we can't tell him to pound sand?
Yea, you would think the people that actually run the stadium might know a thing or two about when to keep the roof closed...

What a dumbass...

Yeah F that noise

Plus 86 with 95% humidity like it is now is fkn hot to sit there and watch a game.

Not to mention the 50% chance of rain tonight.
Yeah... that makes no f-ing sense.

If, you were thinking about opening the roof from a weather standpoint, it should be when the humidity is low (relatively speaking for Houston) and the temperature is in the 60-70 degree range.

Otherwise keep the damn thing closed.

Oh **** no
There's no way Ortiz tweeted this, it's not in Spanish nor does it reference any famous Spanish person he knows.

Tomorrow night will be perfect to have the roof opened. Brian McTaggart already said he thought the White Sox fans were the louder than Houston fans and they don't have a roof. Open it up!

Isn't a front blowing through tomorrow? It will be pretty windy.

I guess MLB thinks they can get the Astros to lose if they force the roof open.

I wonder when they will announce games 3,4,5 have moved to Colorado?

I was worried that I didn't really have anyone to hate right now other than some pencil necked sports writers

Thanks Rob for popping your head up again

Unfortunately, Lord Satan Bud Selig set a precedent for it back during the '05 Series accoding to an article McTaggart wrote back in February.

https://www.mlb.com/news/minute-maid-park-roof-history

After the Astros lost the first two games of the Fall Classic in Chicago to the White Sox, the series shifted to Houston for Game 3 and the weather was mild. The Astros planned to keep the roof closed to help increase crowd noise, but Commissioner Bud Selig ruled the roof was to be opened because the weather was consistent with conditions that led the Astros to open the roof during the regular season.

That didn't sit well with the players.

"It was a little frustrating how they made us open the roof," Astros infielder/outfielder Chris Burke said. "That was a huge part of our home-field advantage, and we were all pretty frustrated. Why they would want to take away our home-field advantage?"

The Astros lost a pair of close games to the White Sox in Games 3 and 4 and were swept in the World Series. The open roof likely played little or no factor in the outcome of the series, but the club had the roof closed during its entire playoff runs in 2017-19 at Minute Maid Park.

In 2020, for the first time in franchise history, the Astros didn't open the roof in the regular season. The season, which was shortened to 60 games because of the coronavirus, was played without fans in Houston, so fan comfort wasn't a consideration. The players preferred to have it closed, so the Astros played all 28 home games that season with the lid shut.


In the first 20 years of the ballpark (2000-19), the Astros played 1,614 regular-season games at Minute Maid Park and the roof was closed 68.3 percent of the time (1,103). They played just 366 games with the roof open (22.7 percent) and 145 with the roof open and closed (9 percent).

And maybe the players had a point. The Astros had a .553 winning percentage with the roof closed and a .503 percentage with it opened during that span.

"That's how we play most of the games here," pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. said before Game 3 of the 2017 World Series. "We're very used to it. I definitely think it's part of our home-field advantage. We play like 60 or more like that, so we're very accustomed to it, which is, I think, why a lot of the guys want it to stay the same."

Take all our draft picks, suspend our manager, and fine us.

He's already got the memo typed up it's just a simple copy paste job.

Crazy stat that I think we actually will break the streak of this series. No team has clinched the World Series at their home stadium since the Red Sox in 2013

Every final game has been won by the road team
