We had a huge discussion about that
My friends were commenting that they should have made it retractable glass – but I had to explain that the whole point of that area was to have an aesthetically pleasing view from the batter’s perspective so they wouldn’t be distracted, that whole area was bushes before the Rehab.

Perfect example of why a strikeout is not just another out.
If you put the ball in play, you force the defense to make a play to get you out.
