Does the ball really fly out of Rogers Centre?

I won't lie that was one of the most depressing opening days I have ever seen. I've waited since the last out of the Yankee series last year for opening day to come and that happens. Oh well its just game one and the Twins never play the Jays well. They always have trouble with them, and our pitchers are really bad against power hitting teams because they leave the ball up.

At any rate I guess the Show has the Jays team and stadium down pat. I was watching the game with my roomates and after Bautista hit that HR I said "that is exactly what happened to me in the Show." Then all of the other HR's came and it was like deja vu.

Rogers centre was close to top in terms of home runs/game

Mostly cause of Bautista lol. But I noticed that today too though. I played one game and there was like 4-5 home runs in total and the guys were hitting like crazy.

That's exactly what I was looking for. That shows the game wasn't lying. Ya I just couldn't believe how crazy the ball was flying out of there. It almost seemed like every run that was scored came as result to a HR.

Texas bashed me all series as the Sox. Ball flew out of Arlington as well. I am on rookie level so maybe that has something to do with it? My pitching was awful and i was thrilled to get out of there after getting swept. Hamilton is a beast.

one of the gripes I have with this game is that you can't play with the Rogers Center closed or even have overcast/rain games in Rogers Center since this year, if you play a night game, it don't get dark until the 9th inning.

Does the ball fly out of Coors Field in the game as it does in real life? Because if you think about it the dimensions in Coors field are quite large so if the ball carries the same in all stadiums then Coors might actually be a pitchers park in the game.

The game takes into account the higher altitude at Coors.
