Turns out Freddie is dumb:

"Despite his complaints, Freeman has hit .391 with three home runs and six RBIs dating back just over two seasons in Milwaukee."

I actually think Miller Park could use a lighting upgrade too. It is hard to pick up the ball there sometimes, wonder if some of our players feel they same way.

So far in this series Freeman is 5 of 13 with 2 home runs and a double.

We should make it darker in there when the Braves come in 2018. Maybe introduce a "glow baseball" .. like the bowling alley. Bill Veeck approved.

Has anyone ever complained before? I can't remember any. I remember Matheny complaining about the ribbon boards while they were batting but that's it. And if the Cardinals haven't said anything, then you know Freddy is the only one who feels this way.

I seem to remember LaRussa complaining.

I'm not opposed to re-kindling a big feud between Milwaukee and Atlanta. There's definitely some history for those of us old enough to remember.

I do think lighting off fireworks when the roof is closed is beyond dumb. He has a point

[BarneyStinston]

I agree with the lighting complaints. They aren't ideal, and they oftem seem dim. Fteddie can obviously function in minor league conditions, but its not dumb to point out substandard conditions. The ribbon boards can be annoying, but I bet specially for players. The fireworks are just hokey, and leave a smoke fog afterward when the roof is closed. The back windows have been complained about in day games.

Because Turner field was sooooo much better.

[monty57]

I don't think he said anything that the team should be upset over. He's probably right, so if anything his statements may get the Brewer brass to look into getting better lighting.

 

As to the fireworks, I agree. I was at the game yesterday and my son and I were joking that it was strategic to shoot the fireworks off before the visiting team takes the field so they won't be able to see the ball when the Brewers hit it.

[rwa12]

Actually, I believe he knocked Turner Field as well. Says something about the quality of Brewer pitching that he hits like a HOFer here, and can't see.

[hawing]

His comments seem a bit incongruous since he and the Braves hit "lights out" this weekend. That was not lost on the fans sitting in the central loge around us yesterday.

[MrTPlush]

No they should do the exact opposite. The lighting is bad? GOOD! Freeman admitted it might give the Brewers some type of homefield advantage. GOOD!

I recall several years ago, didn't some of the Brewers complain about the batter's eye? That was fixed, though.

Yes there was something about the batter's eye.

[jerichoholicninja]

The better's eye was painted black from green before last season I believe. Which is funny because all Schroeder would ever talk about is how hitters love to hit in Miller Park because of the batter's eye.

[Dragonbait]

It was the Ivy we had growing on it. The sunlight would reflect off it, causing glare.

The reason why you can't remember anyone else is because there is no need to complain if the Cardinals already have, since the Cardinal Way™ is the only way
