A game in London sandwiched by 4 away games, takes them to November. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the baseball field in Oakland; I've been watching football games on that field for 45 years. Come on A's!! Let's keep baseball season going!! Side note: I have nothing against the Yanks or Astros who are very solid....particularly the Astros....and of course my Cards are the class of the MLB but I would love to see the A's or Rays pull off a crazy miracle.

But with a few rainouts in the World Series then......... But isn't the infield still there even after the A's are done for the year or do the Raiders have the dirt infield covered once baseball is over?

Big Turk Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Found an interesting article that talks about how cutting on turf stresses the ACL 45% more than on grass...however it also says turf DECREASES overall injuries by about 10%. So it appears that maybe more serious injuries occur on turf like ACL, MCL's etc but more overall injuries occur on grass but they are more minor like ankle sprains, etc... https://sites.psu.edu/siowfa16/2016/09/08/grass-vs-turf-which-is-safer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
