Thoughts and pictures of my local minor league baseball team the New York Penn League Connecticut Tigers; a Detriot farm team. We'll still be looking at former Navigators/Defenders players along the way....

Moving the infield "out".............

as reported in the New London Day today the team is considering moving the infield "out" towards the fences in an effort to juice up the offensive. This was in response to the Giants asking the team to move the fences in. This means the fans would be farther away and foul territory would increase. Moving the infield is easier then moving the fences in and the team is resodding anyway. ERA's BA's and runs will go up and maybe the numbers in the stands as well. Feels like arena baseball to me.
This whole subject of Dodd being a "pitcher's" park has really heated up in cyberspace against the backdrop of the Defenders offensive woes this season.
Anyway the road trip stands at 4-3. Nate and Travis have their bats going, Brian H. continues to hit. Dan O. got his first Defender HR. And Billy has been great coming out of the pen.
I'll be at Dodd Friday only for Erie and should be at all the Curve games.
