Aren't most of Wembley's seats red though?
I thought they might've complained about the space between the foul lines and the edge of the playing area - it looked much bigger than usual.
I went on the Sunday - big Yankees fan! Apparently both teams used the “white seat” excuse for catching.
On top of this, they were complaining about the outfield, the fake turf was quick. Players didn’t run at full pelt to avoid injuries
It was at the Olympic stadium. I think they were complaining about that aswell to be honestAren't most of Wembley's seats red though?

The only impact that could’ve had would be less hits and less runs. Clearly not the case.I thought they might've complained about the space between the foul lines and the edge of the playing area - it looked much bigger than usual.

I thought it was very wide. Noticed the gap between right field and 1st base was massive. A lot of balls dropped between them.Unless they managed to hit it in bounds before it went past the base, at which point the ball is still in play and they can run. They brought the foul lines in to counteract the slightly smaller outfield but it didn't seem to work.
It seemed to me that the LF, CF and RF were more spread out than usual so the two outer ones could cover the extra space beyond the foul lines which left gaps for the ball to run into. Might be wrong but that's how it appeared to me. There didn't seem to be that many fly balls and a lot of hits made it past the basemen and short-stop into the outfield.
I didn’t watch any of it but there’s no way they moved the foul lines.Unless they managed to hit it in bounds before it went past the base, at which point the ball is still in play and they can run.

Sad.(and I'm refusing to go back until Trump is gone).

Outfielders being spread out is a good point but the extra space for foul pop ups to be caught is always a greater factor, it’s the same idea although possibly not quite to the same level in Oakland.
They didn’t.I didn't think they'd be allowed to alter the diamond but I swear I read that's what they'd done - must have misread it. Maybe they just meant it looked like they had due to the huge foul area.
I can’t believe I’m talking about baseball on skybluestalk.
It’s a great sport, annoys me when people dismissively call it rounders without watching itI can’t believe I’m talking about baseball on skybluestalk.
