I'm with you, it looks like someone just threw some bread crumbs on the dirt and at some point (depends on the sun) they look like gold nuggets

I'm guessing they probably haven't done any of that.

The Phillies never have fireworks after home runs. I'm glad it was taken out.

Yes they had fireworks during the homerun celebration in the Show 13! I know it for a fact,I have every Show all the way back to the PS2 days! What's so wrong with having fireworks in the homerun celebration or letting the player have the option of having it in there homerun celebration if they choose when they play the game? I like the fireworks!

Pretty sure he was saying they don't do this in real life.. not saying it was never in the game. Which if it isn't in real life, why do you want it in the game?

I find it very interesting when you guys mention that some teams re-water the infield in between innings. Do they have retractable hoses under the field? Do they just give it a very light dusting of water? I'm genuinely curious.

Considering how much the MLB is pushing these new time limits, I would guess that this practice will stop soon. When I was giving the infield it's pregame watering this past summer, it took us a good 10 minutes, at least, to bring out the hose, turn on the water, do the actual watering, and then roll the hose back up and put everything away.

Of course, they couldn't do the entire infield, the chalk lines and batter's box would get messed up if they did the base paths and home plate area. But if they do, how do they prevent everything from looking terrible?

While it does keep the dust down they actually spray the infield to keep it loose so it is easier to slide and also prevent injuries like turning an ankle because the cleat can get locked into the dry hardpan. The top layer is clay and when it is left to dry out it becomes hard like concrete. You might as well be sliding on the sidewalk because that is what it would feel like.

I've never seen any infield get wet down DURING a game between innings. Never. But I've only been to 7 of the 30 MLB stadiums...

It would only get done additionaly if it was needed not because of a set routine. It gets watered before they chalk it out and it usually is good for the rest of the game except for the periodic raking throughout the game.
