They were on the turf last night too.

While we’re at it I’m not happy with the neon color of first base. They need to regulate the hue.

This is way better than complaining about the TV announcers

Great thread, bravo

Somewhat change of subject here as both teams have to play on the same field, but are there a lot of amateur fields with turf mounds? I never did the travel ball thing and as a dad with two girls didn't see a lot of little league, babe ruth league fields. I did see a few that had dirt mounds and turf elsewhere but not many with a turf mound?

It would seem a turf surface as opposed to a clay and dirt surface where you can manipulate the depression of your landing area as well as the depression in front of the rubber could be pretty drastic for a pitcher.

Certainly not blaming an 11-3 beatdown on this shite, but I could see it really fricking with the head of struggling pitcher.

Most of the multi field complexes where travel ball tourneys are held now are all turf, mounds included.

Enables tourney admin to churn and burn games with no field maintenance in between.

Also, in the Lake Charles area alone, there are at least seven fields where high school ball is played that have turf mounds, with an eighth coming soon.

Nobody complained about the turf on Friday nights game.

No shite Sherlock, but it still sucks

It really is bs. No reason to have turf dirt
