comerica wind

it mattered to this poster and i could bring many many other posts where it did, this poster played a smaller amount due to wind out. I respect that Kodiak feels it s not a big factor i feel the same way too, not a big deal. But i guess if you feel the inf is usefull use it, if not don't.

Adding Detroit/Cleveland under 9.5
Cold conditions at Comerica means the ball will not carry in that big park. Neither team is an offensive powerhouse and Baez could be the real deal for Cleveland. Redman should keep the lid on as well. The wind has died down from morning reports of 17 MPH gusting to 29 and out to center. It still could be a factor so this is just a one unit play.

Pettitte Now 2-2 After Loss
Next Game: Sunday @ 1:05 p.m. vs. Detroit
Detroit 6, New York 3
This was not a good game for Andy Pettitte. The wind was carrying the ball away from his outfielders and he committed two errors to hurt his cause. He lasted only into the fifth inning.

Yanks Lose Again to Tigers, and Can't Blame Wind
By Buster Olney, NY Times
"Detroit beat Andy Pettitte and the Yankees, 6-3, and would have done so with or without the wind. But first impressions are still being formed about Comerica Park, and on this first warm day game of the season, players on both sides waged war with the wind, some losing and others prevailing. "I have never seen fly balls move like that," Yankees right-fielder Paul O'Neill said."

ITS JUST SUCH A NON FACTOR TO THESE MAJOR LEAGUERS.

Wind takes breeze out of Matsui sails

Hideki Matsui can’t run down Ramon Santiago hit that plates Tigers’ Brandon Inge with insurance run in eighth inning.

DETROIT - Derek Jeter described the wind at Comerica Park yesterday as "switching up, changing." It may have helped change the result of the game, after Hideki Matsui missed Ramon Santiago's long drive to center in the seventh inning.
Santiago got a double and scored the tie-breaking run on Dimitri Young's single one out later and the Tigers went on to beat the Yankees, 4-2.

"The wind was out, in, to the side," Jeter said. "It wasn't ever going one direction."

Matsui said he failed to account for the wind when chasing the drive. "The wind was a little strong," he said through a translator. "If I had put that in mind, it might've been a better result. ... There was a little spin on the ball and it turned me around."

Matsui had had problems with a ball hit by Shane Halter two innings before, but he made the catch. Still, Torre wouldn't fault Matsui for missing Santiago's ball.

"The wind was blowing out and it was tricky," Torre said. "It was swirling. I can't blame him for that."
