Coming from an Orioles fan, yes Zack we did hate all the home runs we gave up, but moving the wall back will also attract elite free agent pitchers in the future

I just realized why Zack loves doing this yesterday- its actually really fun to try to get a ball. During the Nats game yesterday, Juan Soto gave me a ball in the break between the fourth and fifth innings, and I kinda learned why people love doing this.

Then you're dumb. The pitching has gotten great help from the left field wall being pushed back.

The irony. They forced the DH on the NL because they wanted more home runs, yet they allowed the Orioles' management to build that wall which takes away a lot of them.

I’ve been binge watching all your previous videos and it gives me nostalgia

you gotta feel pretty special when the kid wants to be near you more than he wants a ball lol. great vid Hample!

Do you think taking out 5 rows would've been better? Or just leaving the old configuration alone? Either way that wall is too damn big. Love the videos keep up the great work

They used stats to back up the renovation, they didn’t guess how many seats to remove. I forget the numbers but it’s somewhere like they give up 2x as many homers to the area of that park than they hit on their own.

Last year my family and I went to Pirates vs Brewers in Pittsburgh. My brother got a toss up from Corbin Burnes and got it signed. And then to make it even better, after the game Devin Williams was leaving the bullpen and gave him a ball and signed it as well. It was a really cool experience.

my first time coming across your channel and wow man i love your energy and It shows how much you love Baseball !!! also you are very nice for giving the balls away to the kids

ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME WITH THE CATCH IN THE FLAG COURT?! 🤪 ⚾☄💥 Great work 🎥 Rachel! #demothewall

Yes 2 weeks of games to catch up on, thanks Zack! You are one of my favorite content creators, keep up the good work.

11:09 i love that you both stood there to watch the at bat, and then walked away right after lol perfect.

You read the ball so well while having more obstacles to maneuver through than the actual outfielders do. Amazing

Zack, it was a pleasure to meet u that night. Same person on and off video and I love it! I was in the flag court when those kids were going around about that girl and that was gold.

AYE the back of my head @2:58 great meeting you Zack, such a nice guy!!

Best thing to happen to the Orioles in 25 yrs. Good to see they are finally doing something to try to turn the losing around.

Zack, lets see another travel vlog sometime. I always enjoy you documenting your travels through the endless airports and endless hotels it seems like 😂. But seriously would love to see one of those sometime again, always find them particularly entreating. Much love.

Robin Yount of the Brewers once argued that stadiums need to be larger. He figured the more people on base would create more excitement.

Hey, Zack! So, if the new dimensions "scare off" free agent hitters, they're just not ready for the bigs in the first place. Legit power hitters can reach 384' in their sleep! Austin Hays took one to the second-deck in left the other night, in the rain, and he's nowhere near a bonafide power hitter. Anything new in life, takes an adjustment period to get used to. I'm sure, the first couple times you went to stadiums you weren't familiar with, it took some time to adjust. I love the wall and new dimensions, it's long overdue. It validates the true power guys, and gives hitters with less power something to strive for. The original dimensions were a joke Zack, and you know it. Routine fly balls to left, would float over the wall if there was a slight breeze. A hard line-drive that would be a long single anywhere else in the league, would get over the wall. The weather definitely played a part early on, too. It felt like cold weather hung around extra long this year. The new wall/outfield dimensions isn't the problem in Baltimore. The lack of respect for the fans', by turning a once proud organization into a complete laughing stock, is the problem. This current organization doesn't have a clue, that's why the stadium is empty night-after-night/year-after-year. Unfortunately, I don't see things changing for the better anytime soon!

It really annoys me when you give kids a ball and they don't say THANK YOU! Great video Zack!

5:34 it's so crazy that you were one of the only people even watching that homerun happen. that could've smashed someone in the face if it was a few feet either way and they'd never see it coming lol

I disagree, I think it’s great for baseball. Not everything needs to be a home run, and it forces both the away team and the Orioles to be either more powerful, or preferably, learn how to win games with fewer home runs. Plus, it doesn’t really make Anthony Santander hit any fewer home runs 👍🏼

Zack, I think now is a good time to vent my frustrations. As a kid I relished the opportunity to go to Forbes Field in Pittsburgh ( yes I am that old" for batting practice. I now live in Maryland and frequent Camden Yards. The frustration is, they don't let you in the ballpark for batting practice. I believe that teams that have that policy can improve attendance by letting the fans in earlier for bp. If you have any influence, and you most certainly do by your KZread subscribers, petition the teams to open up for bp. I would be the first to sign such a petition. Keep the content coming. I enjoy your videos and am living my dream through your baseball travels. Peace brother.

Zack, I love you and your videos, but I actually was thrilled when I first heard that the LF wall was being moved back at Camden Yards. I wish that there were more ballparks that had dimensions like that. (Also, I am not sure if there will ever be football games played there, but now there is more than enough room for a football field.)

It was really weird. We sat right next to the bullpen in the front row a few weeks ago. Used to be really good seats now not so much.

Nice catch on the sun deck lol just playing the field lol

loved the guy smoking at 14:27 lol

“Yeah I’m not gonna burn my mouth on something that doesn’t taste good”😂😂

I never knew they changed the wall. Crazy.

Personally I feel like the homerun has lost some of its charm in these easy ballparks. You see flyballs leave the park and just thing dam not really as magical as I thought is it. Plus a ball paintballing around for a hard run triple is something that needs to happen more in baseball. I like this new wall

Yo Zack I saw you there I was the one who said “Oh my freaking god” when I saw you in line 👌⚾️😎

I knew triston was gonna be a great player once I saw him pitch for the first time last year then he’s always interacting with fans he’s definitely turning into one of my favorite players In the league

I personally enjoy the new wall, Camden yards could spice it up and put brooks, cal, Jim Palmer Eddie Murray etc… on it like the Cardinals do at Busch stadium. Every game I’ve went to this year multiple home runs have been hit over the wall. I enjoy how the park plus bigger but that’s just me.

Zack you make my day when you upload

Zack you said in the past that Camden yards was your favorite stadium. With the new wall, is that still true?

Do the Orioles really want to lose fans by doing this??? Changing the dimensions in the outfield in an era where people pay to watch home runs (THIS ISN’T THE DEAD BALL ERA!!!), Changing the time gates open, Not allowing bags, not accepting cash, and forcing you to buy tickets using your phone when some people don’t have smartphones smh.

Yeah, Zack. Everybody knows that Camden Yards was built as the easiest park for homers. The worst ballpark in all of baseball right behind the Brewers park.

Camden Yard has always been the number one or two park for home runs and runs scored, they are just trying to make the field more fair. Also, it increases the amount of balls in play, adding excitement to the game

I was waiting for the Jackson Olson feature

When I was on vacation in April I wen to a Mets game and got a mike Yastrzemski homer, dedicates it to you

Another great video Thanks Zack I’m a believer now 👏 My mannnnnnn

I don’t understand why stadium layouts especially the perimeter of the playing field is being changed at some of these stadiums, just leave well enough alone. MLB needs to stop changing the game and there was absolutely nothing wrong with how the game has been played and there’s nothing wrong with the stadiums the way they were built originally especially in regards to Camden Yards. MLB leave these iconic stadiums alone and stop changing things that don’t need to be changed.

You coming to Atlanta this year ??

Zack I love your videos. P.S. Last week I caught my first ball!

They should put a wall 20 feet in advance and put a bar/restaurant where the empty space is like the braves

Zack you should go to the Yankees vs Astros series again this year! And make an awesome video like last year! And it's better the stadium will he More full this time

Hey does anyone know when the team store is open on Sunday gamedays??

i went to guardians vs athletics this morning.. Dustin Hughes hooked me up with a lineup card! I told him i saw him in your videos, and he says he loves getting in your videos any chance he gets!

I know my Cubbies are down but I hope you go to Wrigley soon!

I don't know about what others here think, but to dodge fans, posts, and distractions to make that underhand grab during BP was awesomely impressive. Nice catch Zack !

As an Orioles fan I love the new wall. We have won games because of the wall. It’s hurt the visiting team way more than the O’s. It’s also helped the O’s have much better pitching at home. Plus, the O’s have hit several home runs in left. So, I understand the perspective that as a fan of the other teams that it’s frustrating, but I love it.

I'm fine with it, adds to park variation...Is it the best way to do that? Maybe not...

I was at that game too! Orioles played terribly sorry you saw such a boring game.

Zack, I know you live in NYC, but I have a simple question for you. Do you know who Al Clark was and his relationship with "joltin" Joe DiMaggio? My Dad knew him and Got a Baseball signed by Al Clark and Joe DiMaggio in 1937. That ball is mine now, since Dad died back in '95.

Do you ever chill and have a few beers when you think you aren’t getting anymore balls
