The Mets employed 23 pitchers this year and only seven of them got more ground ball outs than fly ball outs. A double play is a pitcher's best friend and it's much harder to get one by allowing opponents to hit balls in the air. I think it'll all work out.Ed Leyro (and Joey Beartran)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18392639274179350916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225973709205976903.post-49892741996955335912011-10-21T23:41:09.555-04:002011-10-21T23:41:09.555-04:00The notion that this is somehow beneficial is prep...The notion that this is somehow beneficial is preposterous to me. Until the team (especially the pitching) improves, all this is doing is helping the opposition. And they're trying to sell it as "righting some wrong". What's wrong has been the people occupying the jerseys that say "Mets" on the front. Good players defeat inferior players, regardless of venue or wall dimensions.

You have these supposed young stud pitchers getting ready to come up to the majors and you take away the one tactical advantage you had. Opponents hated playing there even more. The deep fences were the only thing I really liked about the Copy Cat Field in Queens. I cut my games attended in half this year and will keep on cutting.metsilverman.comhttp://metsilverman.comnoreply@blogger.com
