After his home run last night, Miguel Cabrera was heard saying “in Detroit that’s a flyout”. This comes about a week after Nicholas Castellanos said that the Detroit Tigers’ home field, Comerica Park, was unfair to power hitters due to its vast dimensions. Last night in a post-game interview, Castellanos also said that Cabrera would have 15 home runs on the year if the dimensions were different.
Comerica’s dimensions deflate power numbers for Detroit’s players
While there is no doubt that Comerica Park is huge with its 420-foot wall in center field, this shouldn’t be a problem when it comes down to winning or losing games, given that all visiting teams will have the same advantages and disadvantages, but that doesn’t seem to be Castellanos’ problem with the park.
