Usually, that\u2019s a bad thing. But in this case, it\u2019s not (at least, not if you\u2019re a hitter). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/mlb\/story\/_\/id\/47599322\/sources-royals-move-fences-kauffman-stadium\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Royals will be moving their fences in;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Royals will be moving their fences in<\/a>, as well as shortening them, in the hopes of making venerable Kauffman Stadium a more hitter-friendly park. Though not too friendly; per Jeff Passan of ESPN, \u201ca palatable middle ground\u201d is what they\u2019re after. They don\u2019t want Kauffman to be a bandbox.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">But what\u2019s wrong with a bandbox? Our beloved Citizens Bank Park is one, at least to some degree. It\u2019s an above-average park for homers hit just about every year, and in recent years it\u2019s been home to more triples than the average park too. That\u2019s not a bad thing when you\u2019ve got sluggers like Kyle Schwarber on hand. But then again, the visiting clubs also get the benefit of those hitter-friendly dimensions too.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Imagine for a moment that you\u2019re standing in front of a door. You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond this door is another dimension, a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of baseball. Walk through the door, and you\u2019re now in charge of the Phillies. With the stroke of a pen, you can order the dimensions of CBP changed to anything you\u2019d like, as long as you stay within the boundaries of what MLB\u2019s rules allow. Today\u2019s question is: Would you change CBP\u2019s dimensions? And if so, how?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The walls are closing in on the Kansas City Royals.
