Is this field real grass? The infield looks like tennis court asphalt.

Looks like it's all turf except for around the bases/mound.

Amador is a giant of an man. "El Gigante de Mulege" is listed at 6'4" 297lb in Japan, he was registered as the heaviest NPB player ever. He was the 2015 Mexican League MVP with 41 HRs. In 2013 he weighed in at 330lb. I hope he hits 70 hr in Japan this year.

Ahah the Cuban reliever coming in during the 8th inning has been warming up since the start of the game. He's probably thrown like 200 pitches already.

"He [Archer] isn't messing around setting guys up, he's thrown first pitch strikes to 8 of the last 10 guys."

I won't lie, I leaned over to make sure I hadn't left MLB The Show on by accident.

Pitch count maybe? I think pitchers are limited to 65 in the first round, maybe they want to save him as potential relief in case of emergencies.

There are multiple pitch count thresholds that demand more and more days rest the higher the pitch count. 30 pitches = 1 day rest. If you go over 50 pitches you need to rest like 4 days which means you basically can't pitch again for that round. Pulling Archer at 40 something pitches allows him to be used in a later game in the same round.

I was aware of the limits, I guess I just hadn't considered that they might use him again in this round. I guess he is sort of the ace.
