The Northwoods team that I work for has an all turf field, other than the mound. Sliding is interesting, in that if there has been any rain/mist/fog, you slide much further than under dry conditions. It's tough to judge a call of a passed ball/wild pitch without dirt around home, since it isn't obvious when a ball is in the dirt without there being dirt to kick up. It's where I sit.

Only reason i can think of is no one is buying them due to no wahoo on the sleeve. If anyone else have a suggestion for this weird thing, i am all ears! I used to love buying Indians gear when they had Wahoo but since they started putting out block C stuff I stopped buying. They should just do a rebrand from scratch; new name, new logo, new colors and new uniforms a la Washington Wizards in 97'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Never do anything a la the Washington Wizards, that was terrible. They've made it this long being the Indians, the name is here to stay, work around not having Chief Wahoo. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that "Bullets" and "Indians" are comparable in terms of reasons why a name should be changed. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Why even have colored turf around the bases? Just have the bases. It’s not like the area is significant from a rules standpoint. I guess one plus is that batters can’t dig that annoying hole that so many like to do.

No Discussion of Native American Team Name Controversies This topic, like various political topics, often devolves into name calling, straw man construction, and other assorted "tactics" not suitable in intelligent, mutually respectable debate.

zigbazah Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I never understood why the Dbacks used a pitcher's path. They're 90s expansion team, that plays in a roofed venue with a pool in the outfield, and is from a state that's younger than some MLB clubs. They're one of the last teams who can pull of that aesthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing what happened to the Browns when they overhauled their uniforms shortly after Nike took over the NFL and the Cavs’ uniforms once Nike took over the NBA, forgive me for being a little wary of what would happen to the Indians once Nike gets MLB. Also: There has been talk that the Indians are working on a new secondary mark for 2020, but nothing about a complete overhaul as far as I know.

crashcarson15 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 All-turf fields are an absolute god-send at the high school level. It’s an absolute god-send for us to have a few around to get games in (and I’d rather have played on one as a player than some of the garbage infields we played on).

Aside from the retro look, it was probably done for maintenance purposes. 1997 | 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 On 2/27/2019 at 2:21 PM, Gothamite said: Looks like the Brewers have tweaked their alternate navy cap: Here's the old cap from last year, almost out of stock (only 18 total left) on MLB's online shop: And here's the new one, put up without announcement: I think the different shade of navy is probably just a trick of the photo, but you can see that the New Era flag is now gold, and - best of all - white webbing! That's bothered me since the cap was introduced back in 2016. Now if we can just get Majestic or Nike or whoever to fix the sleeve patch: The Brewers still have terrible uniforms, but we can fix them one small step at a time. I still don't understand why the white webbing is "correct." Shouldn't it be transparent? Or yellow to blend into the background? I get it's a glove, but baseball gloves don't have white webbing. Please help me understand this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
