OT MLB to PDX: We're talking baseball to PDX

[MickZagger]

Dale Murphy decided to support the SLC build.

I don’t think he’s been associated with Portland since high school.

So what happens when south waterfront inevitably floods again at some point?

Then we’ll still not have baseball

The water taxis will deliver peanuts and crackerjacks to your seat.

Ballpark Orientations in the National League

Sir, this is Portland, orientation is personal and it's rude for you to ask.

But since you're asking, hopefully it will be bisportual.

Sure make the whole "pitchers and catchers" thing a little uncomfortable.

How many Pitchers become catchers and how many catchers become pitchers?

 

[RR7]

How many Pitchers become catchers and how many catchers become pitchers?

At a Diddy party, 100% of them.

This won’t happen in my lifetime, so I shouldn’t really care, but I truly hope they don’t make the stadium perfectly geometrical

We should have a copy of these in the next couple weeks. There will be 4 or 5 different looks.

 

[julius]

My favorite one is the floating stadium. How cool would that be to have a stadium ON the river!?!

 

[julius]

I wonder if those are to scale...because the 3d model seems to be HUGE compared to everything around it.

Cheeks?

Cheeks?

Yeah. The guy who is behind the PDP, Craig Cheek.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Cheeks?

Yea the dude behind all this

Out to you yes.

This might be more realistic than you think at this point. At least some part of the river will be impacted.

 

[AldoTrapani]

out to me??

 

[PtldPlatypus]

As in, @kjironman1 is probably gonna see some of that stuff before you, me, and the rest of the general public do.

And if you subscribe to his patreon like I do, you'll get a behind the scene picture collage of all the secret plans!

I'll get a small glimpse before some people. Not always, but on big projects we ask to see things asap so we can help companies get an idea on manpower and estimating. A big issue with contractors is being able to man a job and what safety concerns they will need to look at for estimating. A very small mistake can cause big overruns on budgets. It helps to be able to train people before they are on the job. Reduces costs and always helps people go home safe to their families without getting hurt.

Makes sense

The fact that there are MLB playoff games played during the middle of the day on a weekday shows how irrelevant baseball is.
I know I know - day baseball games are a tradition. But to have playoff games in the middle of the day on a weekday is crazy to me.

You know what else…… when texting, type “BALL” and look what comes up as an option….. you have to go to the second page with a volleyball, golf ball and meatball to find a baseball emoji…. dead serious. Just ain’t relevant anymore, as much as you want it to be.

I feel sorry for you typing "BALL" all the time in search engines. I'll release the Mrs. for one night.

 

[kjironman1]

Balls are the most beautiful things!

I typed “Balls” and just went with the first words that came up after.

Edit- I added the exclamation mark !

 

[kjironman1]

Nothing about Baseball in that one.

I'd love to see MLB come to Portland, but does the spot by Tilicum Bridge have enough road and transportation access for a game day crowd? It's hard to imagine an extra 35,000 people showing up down there. I wanna hear the PDX baseball people address that. Maybe they already have?
