Mets general manager Sandy Alderson indicates change likely coming to Citi Field dimensions | NJ.com

I was kind of bored with this topic, but Andy McCullogh has the transcript of Sandy’s post-game comments which are more interesting than what was buzzing on twitter last night.

… to some extent, it’s a question of entertainment. The hardcore baseball, I think, enjoys the 2-1, 3-2 [games]. We’re appealing to a little broader segment. And I think offense is appealing. Offense sells.

…
To give you another example, there have been only eight home runs hit to opposite field by left-handed hitters in three years. I think that the average is something like 28 or 29….

..

Just take as an example the Mo Zone. That’s a temporary fence. So you could bring it out 10 feet. You could bring it out five feet. You could move it back. You could do all kinds of different things, because it would be a matter of just adjusting a pretty straightforward part of the ballpark.

And that’s generally true of everything except the left-field wall. But the nice thing about our left field is that it is 16-feet-high. Because if you think about the sightlines coming down off that 16-foot wall, if you were to put a fence in front of that wall, the sightlines are still there.
