So yeah, PNC Park is getting new grass, new dirt, a new warning track, a new baseline alignment, new -- wait, what?
According to Coonelly, the design of the infield will be modified to include
unique baselines and first- and third- base and home-plate cutouts, which will
provide both functional and aesthetic improvements to the layout.
"Unique baselines?" I thought that kind of thing was set by the rules. What's going to be new about it? Are guys who hit a single going to cross the mound and head for second?

I'm getting a weird Caddyshack II flashback.
The chalk is in 'tribal tattoo' patterns? Each baseline features scrolling ad space? An electronic "Molina line" for easy comparisons of baserunning speeds?
(I suddenly find myself hoping that there are no stadium developers among your readers.)
The chalk lines will actually be black and orange to match the Giants' colors. Won't that be attractive?
Where's the outcry that they are taking the hallowed grounds that Jason Bay used to patrol?
I would presume they are actually referring to the cut of the grass along the baselines. But I do like the quicksand idea.
