Mods free feel to move it to MLB if you want, (LOL, as if it matters what I say! )

The main goal of seeing real grass, appears to be down the road some.

But, at least they are getting rid of the concrete and putting in a real dirt infield, won't totally cut down on the injuries, but has to be a bit better for the players.

I endorse the shift towards more natural materials. Next should be to fix the godawful "Centre" spelling to "Center", and to reprint the metric outfield measurements in invisible ink.

I'm comfortable with leaving this here for now, because it does involve the Orioles in a way. I'll leave it for now and see how the conversation goes.

I remember somebody in the old regime was dead set against this, said it wasn't worth it or something.

Yeah, Centre, what the Brits' call the real English.

Didn't Schoop get hurt last year, during their visit to this awful field?

It's lipstick on a pig Rick.

I thought it was the opposite. AA wanted to switch but then Shapiro came in and said it wasn't a big deal.

I thought Schoop got hurt in Fenway on a takeout slide.

Or they were waiting for Dan to take credit for the change

Could be, maybe it was AJ that got nicked there, but I know I remember somebody pulling up lame there.

How can they be doing so well with such dysfunction?

That was rhetorical.

No, he was injured in Boston.
