Offseason to do list: Its time to get rid of that......

[johndw52]

Stupid yellow line in right field! All it does is hinder normal flow of the game.  Total waste of energy. Confuses outfielders and runners then stops everything for a review.  Really bad idea. Since no one seems to know what the net run total for the Angels is, just erase it or  prove it works for us. Bad idea.

How do you expect Rendon to get LH Home runs?

By hitting into the stands like last time?

Well he'd have to not be in the IL or suspended which would be a rarity.

Not to worry, he will be on the injured list again

I didn’t realize people were this annoyed with the line. I’m in favor of a whole new stadium. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Our pitching really sucks ass, so I don't think this line is helping.

[Tank]

we've had the new HR line for a long enough time to see how much of a difference it makes, if any.

i have no idea where to look for such info.

@Jeff Fletcher do you have access to any info on this?

I unsuccessfully tried looking into this.

Baseball Savant’s search feature was no help, unless you want to watch and sort through the 1,193 HRs hit at Angel Stadium since the change.

Maybe someone else has a better idea of how to answer this q.

Maybe an 80 foot triple green monster would help

This HR went 369 feet.

This HR went 385 feet.

https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sporty-videos?playId=440c3180-1ff9-41f7-bb49-5d27ea135f5b

Both were hit above the yellow line, yet a 16 foot difference?

 

Stuff like this makes it impossible to search this query on Savant.

Sifting through all those videos would be better than watching a regular season game

Details, details 

[Angels 1961]

The rally monkey, 6 man rotation, that HR hat, Aaron Loup.

[HaloBronco]

I say get rid of it. 

[Docwaukee]

146.  The clock on the VCR in Phil's old office is flashing
147.  The yellow line
148.  Find a new urinal cake vendor

Even funnier that the scene was shot at Milwaukee County Stadium for an Angels home game

I don’t think there’s any way you could do this without actually watching all the HRs. You could make a rough estimate using the distances, and I suppose as long as you used the same numbers for each team you’d get a pretty accurate relative number for how many extra HRs the Angels hit vs HRs they allowed.

That’s Oakland. 
 

Major League was shot in Milwaukee.

I don't think you can even do it using distances.

Both these HRs were hit off the part of the wall above the yellow line, yet there was a 16-foot difference in projected distance? I don't buy it.

I stand corrected.

Still weird

And the worst offender, and a movie I like: Naked Gun

Filming a Halos home game at Chavez Latrine?

Uhh, they last played home games  there in 1965.

Is there a law against filming Halos home games in movies at Angel Stadium?

Angle of the ball descent calculated with ball speed creates the 16 foot difference.
