If you are not getting the SNY feed: The Guys pointed out the the first baseline in drawn on the dirt like usual, but the third baseline embedded in the ground, and they just have to dust off the dirt to make it visible before the game. I imagine is must be made of hard rubber (like a pitchers rubber). Wouldn't that surface result in a different kind of bounce than what you would get on dirt? I can understand lesser levels using this type of thing, but not at the MLB level.
