Jesus Christ you're such a typical TD dumbass. You VERY CLEARLY said that every ball that hit the warning track last year would've been a home run because of the 20 foot addition. And I'm saying that in some cases the new balls might add only 6 feet to a big hit to the track, which would still be a wall banger or a warning track out. It's not hard to understand. You keep using all of these ideal theoretical examples and just because a ball has good trajectory and spin to the warning track doesn't make it ideal or perfect every time

Boy, you must have reading comprehension issues too.
I "Clearly" gave an example of a 350 foot HR going 367 with a 5% increase and said that we could ASSUME THAT ONLY BALLS HIT TO THE TRACK BETWEEN THE GAPS would possibly go over. THEN... I only took 2/3rds of that value.
But yeah... "every fly ball"

Actually, he didn't say that. He said:
quote:
A typical warning track is 15ft. A 350 ft hit/out that doesn't leave the park increased by 5% will go 367. Holy fricking shite 17 feet. So that means that any ball that touched the warning track in between the gaps last year, theoretically, would have left the park. This doesn't take into account ball that landed deep on the track closer down the lines.
Words are important. He then further diminished that # by taking 2/3s of them:

So how do we come to a number for last year of balls to the track without going through every piece of film? Can we assume it happened once every 2 games? That seems kind of low, but okay. That would lead us to the number I mentioned earlier... 30! OMG!!! Now, all I'm saying is that 2/3 of that number is a good probability.

The warning track is 15 feet wide, even if the ball does add what I think is a ridiculous 20 feet to every hit, then only 25% of warning track shots would leave the stadium. If one happens every 2 games, which I also think is a high estimate, then that's a whopping 7.5 extra home runs last year, which falls squarely in my 5-10% estimate. That's as simply as I can break it down for you
