Sure looks that way. Someone else posited that Strat is somehow reversing the stadiums, which sounds plausible. Too bad no one has been in on the weekend to address this...Everyone affected should get a credit per team at the very least. Shame to think that it's affecting the tournament.

I have pinged Garcia including providing some examples. Hope to see something on this soon.

One thing I noticed. I went and looked at games from weeks ago and noticed the box score did not list any weather, while the last couple nights have a weather setting listed. I wonder if weather effects got turned on.

**In reflecting on this as I had a bit more coffee, that wouldn't have made the polo 41 singles turn on as was seen by others**

Great catch. Why on earth would they have turned weather effects on all of a sudden without telling anyone?

Looks like Polo does have a 5% chance of single during good weather. And homers drop to 95% during bad weather. But are all the parks even rated for weather?

In the 3 games I saw lost ballpark singles in Fenway 67, we had bad, average and good weather, so I don't think that alone can be the explanation.

Yes, probably weather related, as the weather did not show up in the boxscores until Saturday.

If it was turned on, it seems to be wonky -- BP HRs in Polo went 5 for 15 this weekend...

This game had five 1-19 misses in a row Saturday night.

If that's the case this is very unfair. We build our teams based on parks so to have this thrown in in the middle of a season without warning isn't right.

Here's another 1 I had last night. 4 x BP HRs 1-19 and all 4 ended up as flyouts. I wonder if the parks are being switched, as I am 4-8 at home and 6-3 on road. My team is lefty heavy and the other teams in my division are pretty much righty heavy in righty parks.
