Which Park Should I Use

The Game · 10-25-2016, 01:37 PM

So i am taking over the Delgado Tigers in my EBL league and have the lineup more or less set. While the staff is still needing some overhauling. Which park should I use?

A bit concerned that i will lose the amount of Triples, many of my players can hget if i move but i feel teh elft handed power #'s should go up. but how will that affect my pitchers and the amount of more HR they are liekly to give up to division opponents.

anyone who voted have a reason why you prefer Lions Den?

TheMaus2 · 10-25-2016, 04:45 PM

Just cause it looks cooler.

Granted this team was bad but they had next to no power in Comerica. Tigger played in Mon Mothma Park (Old Comiskey) Harris & Michigan played in Busch II Brett in Skydome. So while both Bruce Wayne and Gin-Fan Sung willl have a good amount of homers in Tigers Den so will my 3 left handed hitters. (one a switch) Also Silvam made Arsenal Park for me. Was supposed to look like below but I prefer his version abit more.

went with 42k. i don't like abnormal stadiums, but i ignored that bias because it simply doesn't matter in the game. so i concentrated on factors and capacity.

if money is important, depending on settngs, then the extra cash is good. I am also assuming you prioritize strong pitching.

even if you focus on offense > pitching, .968 down from 1.000 is not a big dip. especially when you cut it in half since only 81 games are played there. so, figure 1.6% less hr in a season compared to a 1.000 hr stadium. (assumes proportionately scaled and ignoring all other factors). this is a minimal tihng compared to how much cash you can gain -- i.e. an extra well played player will be a net positive with the pitcher friendly stadium.

plus, a pitcher friendly park helps mask a subpar pitching staff... possibly a greater effect than what it has on an excellent pitching staff - negligible returns? the point is, what we are assuming could be wrong or right without supporting data to prove the relation. i'm not 100% certain of the result and i have never tried to figure it out... i prefer a more neutral stadium for that reason and others.

so, it mostly comes down to cash for me. if the factors were reversed, i'd probably still go with capacity. figure ~6-7k extra / 35k... potentially 20% more money from your ticket revenue.

if in the reserve clause era or any other setting that minimizes the importance of cash, then i'd go with the park factors your prefer over capacity, since cash provides no benefit in this context.

High school I went to.in Villa Park, IL.The entire state of Willowbrook has a town from IL in it plus Bedrock home of the Flinestones. Expansion team in 2012. uniforms are based off of the Warriors circa 1994. A few Major leaguers went to my school. Jody Gerut 2003-2012ish & Rob Scahill 2012-16. They play in Bob Brook Stadium (Metrodome)

I also ended my EBL playing career with them. They will be featured again soon in my EBL vs MLB thread.

Thats why i thought the logo looked familiar... I went to Downers Grove South, plenty of games at your park. Saw Scahill pitch a few times too when I went to DGS.
