marlin2266 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 do you think it would improve our home advantage to let the infield grass grow a little longer? Would have the effect of 1) slowing down our bunts (JP infield hits) , plus 2) slowing down infield grounders so Gonzo & Luiy could flag down even more of them. Having been on the field several times, I can tell you that it's not much different than astro-turf (very very short & fast). whatdoyouthink?

CapeFish Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I think the grounds crew was instucted by someone (Wayne?) to cut the grass really short and water everything down. That is what I have noticed, and so has Perry Hill who has complained about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libelula Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Yes, it's very much like turf. The Fox announcers had to remind us throughout the whole play-offs. I agree that the grass should grow a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildMarlinMan2003 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Uber, you should add Nate Bump on the suck squad team, then you are set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flamarlins3 Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 That would be a good idea, but even then JP would still have to drop a perfect bunt. Would help on those short ground balls though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rferry Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 That's a good idea but I wonder how it will effect Luiy and JP's hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
