Sounds like MLB may try to have fans by the NL/ALCS

These sites chosen for decent weather/ nice stadium/roof combo or what?

is there going to be a bubble situation?

I googled it to make sure I had the right name.

Google lied.

Easiest way to remember is the old place was generally known as the Ballpark in Arlington, so new one goes by Field.

That’s kind of the entire point of playing at designated sites.

Just heard a NLDS, the NLCS and the World Series are going to be played at the GiLF. WTF? They picked the ugliest stadium in baseball and it's an AL field. Makes zero sense.

One of the 2 NLDS is at Minute Maid

I think they switched AL and NL to avoid a home field scenario...for the other 3 stadia and their teams.

Also how they selected the World Series location.

I mean, it makes sense to me that they’d choose a team that’s eliminated from postseason play, in a likely warm October climate, with a roof, and little danger of being smoked out.

What you and grandma do in the privacy of your ballpark is your business.

Then what's the point of the bubble?

Just to piss you off. Didn’t you see it in the press release?

Lol. Honestly my guess is they’re watching football do it and baseball is hemorrhaging money so that’s why.

i guess if you wanted the NLDS/CS in AL stadiums, and you were avoiding lockdown states and shitty weather, that leaves you with houston, arlington, seattle, LAA, OAK, and tampa.  the last 3 stadiums are shit, and seattle may be too far off by itself to use.  they're pretty clearly pairing the stadiums pretty closely.
