Keep it up Burls

Going through the thread and talking about field conditions, does anyone know why Roger Bossard soaks the infield before the games at USCF? I would think with the White Sox wanting to run they would keep it a little drier.

Teahen's been throwing some leather this series.

No doubt he has talent. Its why he was a key piece of the Dotel/Beltran 3 way deal between KC, Oakland, and Houston.

him and CY wood

It's more of a light dampening than a soaking. Just so dust doesn't fly up.

How dare you cast doubt upon the work of Roger Bossard!

 

Seriously, if there's anyone employed by this team who knows what he's doing...it's Bossard.

Scottie acts like the ball is a hot potato :headshake

The way he waters it actually packs the dirt and makes it more solid. Just my guess though, my lawn is brown and hard so what do I know. Think about watered down sand (not slop though) as oppossed to dry sand. Of course you can over water and make it sloppy as mother nature does.

 

Why steal with Pods in these conditions?

i hate when Sweeney is up.

Go out to LF in about the seventh inning sometime. You can still see the water on it. Its pretty soaked to begin with. I thought it was ironic that Oakland puts no water on their infield before the games there, and they never are running.

That would be the unintentional intentional walk.

1st and 2nd one out..southside emil brown up..

 

cmon mark

You know what that means...its double play time.

Is Pods really buying the farm in the outfield?

2-1 f***

I don't know, they re-rake it in the 5th or 6th and it filters easily. The water content is low enough to where I think it won't effect our speed on the basepaths.

why does Dye look so out of place in RF lately?

tie game...this is just horrid

Our ace just gave the lead up.

 

They are hitting him pretty hard. Maybe our f***ing pitching can show up or get a pair.

Sac fly 2-2 now.

2-2 now. Why can't we hold leads anymore????
