CLEAN THE TURF AROUND HOME PLATE!


Feb 26, 2020, 6:28 AM

It looks terrible. Last year the field looked great. This makes it look bad this year.

It’s muddying the minds of our hitters.

I agree it is awful looking. I commented to someone at a game last week how bad it looks. I know there is a pressure washer somewhere around Clemson or some good old soap, water and scrub brushes. To take so much pride in the rest of the field and leave the one area right at home plate looking like it looks is just bad. Have it clean by Sunday.

I never understood why they put that behind the plate...

It has concrete under it.

I imagine it's been padded with something to make it softer but it seems like if a base runner is running full speed around 3rd and has to come in wide to home plate it would hurt sliding on the turf/concrete. And it's not like it's off the line far. It's dirt then turf.

When clean it looks good but I say take it up and put natural grass behind the plate and just paint the letters on every season.

I agree. I heard it gets lots of wear during practice but MLB field have many more games and they dont need that junk. sad if Clemson turf management cant manage grass

Just remember how bad the grass was in Death Valley last year and you will understand why they put the fake stuff down.

What ever the reason for it being there I am sure there is a good reason, but to leave it dirty like it looks now should not be acceptable.

It is embarassing.
