One thing Russell mentioned which a lot of people seemed to have missed was temperature is now a factor along with things like altitude in determining ball flight.

Maybe in the deep dive they will expand on this but I suspect in hot weather the ball will travel farther.

I was swamped at work today and haven't had a lot of time to look at the VLOG, but I have got to say, those animations look awesome to me. Man I can't wait for March 28 to get here.

Are the Indians still using the Chief Wahoo hat in 2017?

In the future, maybe they could add humidity, marine layer, and other seasonal or daily weather effects -- in addition to rain outs and double headers, of course.

I only hope that the Red Sox dance is specific to the Red Sox, so I can swap out OF (like if I don't want to use Benintendi or JBJ, but manage to acquire a big bat to fill the corner spot) and still see the animation.

Do....they actually do that dance? I just assumed that was one of those crazy "idle game" scenes where it cuts to the players/umpires doing ridiculous stuff.

They only broke out that stuff in September in the heat of the pennant races though, I wish it were a earned/situational celebration cuz those celebrations were special.. but I know it's a game so it has be accessible as soon as you win one exhibition game.
