I have never seen the turf as bad as it looks now. Marlins2003 pretty much summed it up on how it looks.

 

It's nastro-turf (natural astro-turf).? :mischief

 

I know this is sacreligious but seeing as how it gets worse every year I'd consider FieldTurf.

There's stuff NexTurf as well. I dunno if it's thing as nastro turf. NexTurf has little rubber grains in it for support and softness. I've played soccer on it before, the stuff is amazing.

Nastro-turf is the name I gave to our turf. It has the same qualities of astro-turf. Only difference is that it's natural. Get it? :plain

The conditions seemed ok for the first 8 innings of yesterday's game

You obviously missed the point. If the Marlins and Phillies were able to make the plays thru the first 8, why all of a sudden is it the field's fault that a 10 run meltdown ensued in the 9th...Keep practicing your smart-ass impression, it needs work

The field is in horrible condition, but yesterday's loss cannot be blamed on it.

You are correct, sir!!!

That is the single dumbest thing I have ever read here and if any mod or board op wants to censure me or kick me out for a week for saying so, be my guest.

 

To see the agonizing look on Luis Castillo's face, or Jeff Conine's, or any of the other guys out there, and the collective pain so plainly visible on this Marlins team when their nightmare finally ended, and to think they didn't care, or weren't trying their damnest, ought to have their heads examined.

 

The field is a nightmare, I have never seen it like this in thirteen years of going to Marlins games. And it didn't happen by accident.

I think the field is the worst it has ever been at Dolphins Stadium, but the Vet was much worse back in its day.

 

I think the lack of focus is due to the monotous nature of a baseball season. 162 games is just too long IMO. The Marlins players get bored, then you add on the unfavorable field and it is hell.

 

I vote for FieldTurf, the change from Football to Baseball is easy. Just look at Minnesota and Toronto. Only thing is the rain would not be easy to handle.

 

Anyone see Oakland try to play after a Raiders game? That field is the worst.

What are you babbling about?

I could see losing focus if you were way out of the race, but we're in the thick of it- how can you lose focus now, regardless of how many games you've played?
