Learn something new everyday. I would have guessed they are like football fields.
They can vary, but not near as much as baseball fields (outfield dimensions, wall height, and foul territory). They have minimum and maximum dimensions and most vary in width more than length.
Here's international standards.
The length of the soccer field should be between 110 to 120 yards, and the width should be between 70 to 80 yards.

Have to miss this one
Let us know if y'all plan to meet up some other time. Considering I'm still relative e baseball newbie (~8 yrs of somewhat heavy following) Would be a pleasure getting to sit around with some of y'all and learn more about the game.
Pro are all over the place. Width matters more than length IMHO.AgLA06 said:n_touch said:

Shell Energy Field is 115x74. By comparison Old Trafford (Man United) is 105x68 and Stamford Bridge ( Chelsea) is 113x74. Ellis Field for the Aggies is 115x75.
I ref on two HS fields that are 120x80. They are killers.

Unless you have a team that knows spacing and can switch the field and attack.
Small fields sucked, but not as much as a field that was small and over crowned.
Remaining series (15 games) where baseline expectation is sweep:
LAA 8/11-8/13
@DET 8/25-8/27
OAK 9/11-9/13
@KC 9/15-9/17
KC 9/22-9/24
But it's baseball so there will likely be at least a couple losses. Need to feast on these series in part to win the division.

Sweeping the angles is expected? Others make sense imo

Am I on the Astros thread? Did I miss a turn somewhere?

They recently lost seven in a row and we miss Shohei in their rotation this time IIRC.
Damn. Y'all have derailed this thread. Now I have to get it back on the rails.

I was trying to do some field layout stuff for the private school I'm with and was looking at Klein ISD fields and was shocked at how different they were.

checking in with Mike Trout...
tonight is game 117 for the Angels
Trout has played in 81 games to date. He has missed 35 games...and is not expected to play at MMP.
will probably not reach the 120 games-played plateau this year
and has not played in 120 since the 2019 season (when he played in 134)

Expecting sweeps in those 5 series is setting oneself up for disappointment. Win the series you're supposed to win and a sweep is a bonus. Push to steal a series elsewhere.BadAggie said:

This is where people start to realize that our manager is the reason we have to start talking about sweeping 5 series in the last 1.5 months to win a division when we were the favorite. He can make up whatever excuses he wants about mismanaging the lineup, but it's put us in this situation. The last week should have made that clear to everyone.
I said earlier this week that Dusty and his lineups have cost us several games this year. I firmly believe that. Yes, there have been other factors (injuries, less than stellar performance by players we were counting on, etc.), but IMO Dusty's lineups have been a significant reason why we don't have the division lead. That insanely stupid lineup in JV's first start back is a prime example.AgLA06 said:Expecting sweeps in those 5 series is setting oneself up for disappointment.

I'm going to be so mad when I get to MMP tonight, check the lineup, and see....
Dubon 2B
Pena SS
Tucker RF
Diaz DH
Singleton 1B
Chas LF
Kessinger 3B
Meyers CF
Madly C
Dubon 2B
Pena SS
Tucker RF
Diaz DH
Singleton 1B
Chas LF
Kessinger 3B
Meyers CF
Madly C
Get ready for Dubon in CF & Maldy behind the plate. I would guess Kessinger at first (R/L) if Abreu is not 100%. JV is gunna get Yordan, just a matter of LF or DH. If Yordan is DHing then no Diaz.

I expect losses as stated but the Astros will be favored to win each game which is the base expectation.
I'm trying to out-Dusty the man himself

Altuve-4

Yordon-7
Ted-9
Diaz-DH
Singleton-3
Pena-6
Meyers-8
Maldy-2
Did you forget about JV's personal center fielder?
The last week makes it also clear what this team is without Yordan and Altuve. That has made more of an impact than Dusty.AgLA06 said:Expecting sweeps in those 5 series is setting oneself up for disappointment. Win the series you're supposed to win and a sweep is a bonus.

How tf did dubon become his personal CF?
they should make the goal net about 30 yards wide so the game wouldn't be so ****ing boring!AgLA06 said:Mathguy64 said:Pro are all over the place. Width matters more than length IMHO.AgLA06 said:n_touch said:

I ref on two HS fields that are 120x80. They are killers.
Unless you have a team that knows spacing and can switch the field and attack.
Small fields sucked, but not as much as a field that was small and over crowned.

I love JV but he isn't a manager. Him dictating a lineup is ludicrous
JV didn't ask for Dubon in CF. Dusty said last year Dubon was the best option in CF while JV pitched. It was 100% a Dusty decision, so let's not get this rumor started.EastCoastAgNc said:What JV asks for, JV gets.JDUB08AG said:

The Maldy situation is much different.
He didn't state he wanted Dubon in CF. That was a 100% Dusty decision.Mr.Bond said:

Where did Dusty say Dubon has to play CF for JV? I legit missed that
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
