Why the Orioles moved the left field wall back at Camden Yards

[johnisouth]

Love it. Every one keeps moving in. They did it at Citi Field and Comerica Park. I loved how the fences had deep dimensions. I loved Tal's Hill in Houston and they brought that in. Home runs are to be earned. Great move Orioles. Love the classic old days feel of it too.

I like the wall. It adds unique characteristics and dynamics to the field and the ball in play. However, I wish they hadn't moved it back quite so far.

Personally I’m tired of “3 true outcome” baseball, so I’m pretty on board with bigger fields and taller walls in general.

The changes w the outfield wall dimensions have worked! Now let some ivy grow on the wall!

I can't believe Oriole Park at Camden Yards is 30 years old. I remember watching CBS's Major League Baseball Game of the Week, the first time a game went on national television in that ballpark. I thought it was great!

[gregorykrug]

I love the new dimensions of Camden Yards!

[westleighquattrone]

Brilliant move. Agree 100% with the decision and reason behind it.

Bought tickets so I could see from there it was nice. We had aisle and next seat which put us against the new wall with no one in front of either seat. I liked the view too. It's helped our team

I sat front row on this new wall next to the bullpen. You can’t see a damn thing in center or right field because of the bullpen fence being in the way now.

Move center back to 500 like when Ruth played, even left and right center were 450

[AbleAnderson]

Everyone in these comments loving this change; I hate it. You have to be a truly trash team with no hope of hitting home runs to like this. The old Camden was a truly iconic classic. Now players don’t enjoy coming here as much. It was a “look forward to” experience before, and now some players are voicing dread

[JoseMorales-lwnt]

Yeah, because removing entire sections of fan-friendly seats are conducive to good baseball hitting. As if that park will ever fill up back to the attendance numbers from the Mike Mussina days! Oh well, at least Orioles fans can relish in still having the foul poles from old Memorial Stadium. Which will turn 70 Years Old for the 2024 Season!

Gleyber Torres was also part of that drama

[huckfinn]

great move. the O's have a lot of young exciting players. 4ever Baltimore. On a side note; my cousin is a doctor living in Baltimore and is a big sports fan, Dr. Bonnie Jo Kerr.

2:22 nah bruh we want to see more HRs lol

[joshroyale]

I still don't get it. The short wall wasn't an advantage to one team over the other. Just get some guys that can hit. I think the wall looks awkward now.

[davidsmith-uwci]

I like the wall and like it even more now that Judge hates it lol

[coreyk]

Moving the wall is fine, but they could have moved it back 15' instead of 26'. It looks ridiculous and will have no effect on free agent pitchers signing with the Orioles

[bigboots]

who in the hell allowed this to happen because the 90 degree wall going to center is going to hurt someone

[siriusblack]

As an astros fan who sees cheap homeruns leave the minute maid park all the time I wish they would move the Crawford boxes back 10 feet or so
