What the thread title sez. Lucas Duda's wishing he was 10 years younger.

What did they do this ?

To make room for luxury seating, I think? Isn't this where the Mrs. Payson Club is going to be?

Yeah, it's pretty much the back end of the same story. As mentioned by JCL in the Payson thread, Kyle Shwarber is going to reach that wall by accident. But maybe the big beneficiary will be Jeff McNeil. Who knows? But I'm an outfield wall abolitionist.

The year he was swinging for the fences, his HRs went up but the other part of his game declined. I think he's a much more effective batter when he uses the whole field. Later

I certainly didn't advocate for Jeff McNeil to change his approach.
