yup! Things that matter:

-is the stadium physically safe? Are pieces of it likely to fall off and injur/kill people? Is it in danger of collapse?
-are there lots of seats with good sightlines of the game, or did they take up valuable seating real estate with expensive luxury boxes and weird "quirks?"
-are there sufficient facilities to handle the crowds? (i.e. pisser capacity, this is why The Troughs Were Good)
-similarly, is there enough beer and food vending capacity?
-can you get in and out of the stadium easily & safely via transit?

Wrigley passes all of this, except that a lot of the inexpensive seats (200s and 400s) have partially obstructed views, and it's hard to tell exactly how obstructed until you're in the seat. But if there's not a pole in front of you, the sightlines are all great. You never feel far away, even in the back row of the upper deck, or the CF bleachers above the batter's eye.

Technically, yes.

The new ones have some good ideas like the pinstripes on the road greys and getting rid of the gold trim. They just look half-finished.

do they still have sufficient beer & food vendors walking the aisles? It was great when I was there in 2013, but that's something a lot of stadiums have seemed to lose since covid as staffing has contracted

In 2021 staffing was so bad that I saw a section-wide brawl sustain itself for an entire half-inning at Petco with zero security every showing up.

They added gold not that long ago. They also had an M hat like the one from the 90s that they never ended up wearing, which hopefully happens to this new M hat.

Yeah, it was better this year than last year. The beer vendors just give you the can now, which is a little disappointing because I always loved watching them pour it, but it's obviously much easier for them so I don't mind much.

They also have way more concession stands now, especially in the back of the upper deck, which helps relieve the traffic a lot. Ordering on the app is nice too, I can usually go get a beer between innings and not miss more than a couple pitches.

No walking vendors in the bleachers, but that's how it's always been.

The last overhaul was in 2012, where they added that dumb gold trim and removed the pinstripes. Otherwise they've had the same general design since 1987. The powder blue uniforms were a throwback alternate based on their 1973-1986 road uniforms.

Speaking of evil empires, I have no idea what the Yankees would be looking for in a hypothetical Torres trade.

Would they be looking primarily for upside or proximity to the bigs? starters, relievers, positional guys?

I'm here for all people to work through their issues of confronting the truth that Jose Altuve is perfect.

It's hard to have spent years knowing one truth only to realize the only person cheating in that ALCS at bat was on on the pitchers mound.

There are zero kids in the farm that Yankees fans should want as a backup/utility IF over IKF, honestly. They've been around him all year, provided he adds anything positive to the clubhouse I'd take him on $6m for a year over Andrus or Iglasies.

Well, of course I know him.

Those Twins uniforms are a little generic but not bad. I think I’m the only person who actually liked the gold trim on the navy though.

It really makes me wish the Astros would finally refresh their uniforms, even in some little way. I’m so tired of the basic-rear end orange and white looks and the generic block font. Next season marks ten years with that design too.

I’d kill for a modern take on the 65-75 Shooting Star logo. I’d even accept the 87-93 minimalist with rainbow sleeves look.

Jose didn't cheat, but wore it, took it, never said a word about it while being the face of MLB sign stealing.

Altuve cheated OP, just accept it and move on. Nobody is demanding you disavow him or the Astros but this shtick of yours has honestly gotten more annoying than mcmagic's routine.

I think its obvious he's backup in case the completely untested rookie SSs don't do anything. At worst he's a bench IFer and pinch runner, at worst he's another stop gap if the rookies are bad.

I really hate this place these days. You're all so nasty. Tired of being treated like poo poo by everyone. Tired of all the toxicity. Just tired.

For a single-A arm. Better than non-tendering him I suppose and it frees up a starting spot for Lewis when he comes back from injury after Correa re-signs.
