I find it very interesting when you guys mention that some teams re-water the infield in between innings. Do they have retractable hoses under the field? Do they just give it a very light dusting of water? I'm genuinely curious.

Considering how much the MLB is pushing these new time limits, I would guess that this practice will stop soon. When I was giving the infield it's pregame watering this past summer, it took us a good 10 minutes, at least, to bring out the hose, turn on the water, do the actual watering, and then roll the hose back up and put everything away.

Of course, they couldn't do the entire infield, the chalk lines and batter's box would get messed up if they did the base paths and home plate area. But if they do, how do they prevent everything from looking terrible?
