Just by looking at it Fenway is worse. The stupid short RF, the Green Monster. People may say it’s historic, I think it’s dumb.

Fenway has a very short right field corner but Fenway's straight away right field is actually the deepest in the MLB. Yes the walls are short.

Fenway is historic

Houston’s ballpark with multiple names is dumb

I figured that. Yes, due to availability, I’d say I’m more of an Astros than Brewers fan. But it’s more 60/40 Astros. I’m interested in the Texans because they’re local, but I’m 95/5 Packers Texans

So obviously you were more of a Packers fan than a Brewers fan

Ruh roh. C'mon, Hud.

[markedman5]

No,idea how Alvarez hit that ball……

For those of us unable to watch has the big strike zone started to shrink?

The owner of this site is a Twins fan who also roots for the Brewers unless they are playing his Twins - works for him

I can only cheer for one professional sports team per league

I do like two college teams - the Wisconsin Badgers & Tennessee Vols … but I hate for them to play one another & won’t watch those games - but I cheer for Wisconsin & feel a little guilty

Does Houston pump in crowd noise? Their crowd noise seems super inauthentic.

[kevinisaname]

Never a doubt! wipes brow

[markedman5]

Hudson!

Yeah but not to the point of being squeezed. Just not calling balls strikes anymore.

It appears so….at least at times.

Here’s hoping for a 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th for Megill 

The 8th inning was stressful enough for one game 

We need some arms for Sunday afternoon too

No pumping in noise. Just generally quiet for whatever reason. Top of the 9 people were making more noise doing the stupid wave than anything else.

What an odd shape the the outfield wall

Same.  Split loyalty is not a thing, period.

I have never understood how anyone can say they have more than one favorite team in any given sport.

I am a Brewers fan, and dislike all other teams, no matter what.  Some I dislike more than others, but to me, they are all the enemy.

I won't go into who my NFL team is, and has always been (give you a hint, they came into existence in 1976  lol, and I've been a HUGE fan since)

[edfunderburk]

Priceless 🙌💪👏🎉😏

[kevinisaname]

YES! Way To Go, Trevor! My blood pressure. Ahhh!

[markedman5]

Yes!

A wins a wins a win!
