A guy learning the outfield after being a 3rd basemen his whole life is different than a guy who came up as an OF. and that same guy making an error and dropping a ball is not the same as a relief pitcher blowing a save. OF are brought to play OF, Relief Pitchers are here to pitch, we have an infielder playing outfield... and he is doing a pretty damn good job so far if you ask me.

Anyone who has will know that the porch will have next to nil affect on HR's Anything that remotely touches the porch (which is a good 50 feet up) will easily be gone. There may be a one in a million shot that will be a towering fly ball that happens tom come STRAIGHT down at the track (you all know this NEVER happens) that may hit the porch when it shouldnt have. This overhang is not going to come into affect nearly as much (or at all) as some people seem to think it will. I've already sat under it. I was 6 rows back from the foul pole and the porch barely reached me.

The Marlins, an aggressive, young, hitting team, fell victim to Hernandez’s patience, which I always enjoy seeing." He throws the eephus just like his half brother... except El Duque use to defy gravity and throw it in the 50's. I remember being at a game where he registered 56 on the gun.

They just did the same min Boston. I know I would be pissed next week if the home opener was cancelled and my uber expensive tickets were no longer special.
