DEEPER DISCUSSIONS.
Totally Tigers
There are rumors that the Tigers are discussing alterations to Comerica Park. It?s been an ongoing issue for years even after some fences were moved in 2003.
Players from all teams have complained over the years. And a recent study confirmed that Comerica leads all other MLB parks in ?lost HRs? ? fly balls that would have been home runs in all the other ballparks.
The issue revolves around the expanse on either side of deep centerfield called the power alleys. The measurements for those areas exceed all other ballparks.
Power alleys are where most home runs are hit but at Comerica, they often end up being fly balls.
Comerica was originally built to favor pitchers. But in turn, it also required that outfielders be strong defensively and speedy.
If the dimensions should be changed, it would help the team defensively as well as help boost offense. The Tigers play half their game at Comerica and they need every little bit of help they can get. Pitchers would still have an advantage, albeit not as much.
Should the Tigers reconfigure Comerica?s dimensions in order to modify the problematic power alleys?
