Look at that picture. Notice anything fishy? First batter of the first inning, clean uniforms, fresh dirt around home plate, some freshly chalked batter's boxes - wait, what on earth is wrong with those? How does that even happen?
That's not marginally off, where maybe they only noticed after they put down the line or something. There is no way you can lay down the chalk stencil and think you are about to do the right thing.
It's like someone decided the back of the boxes had to line up with the catcher's box. For frame of reference, here is how it should look.
Umm... yeah.
Said Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper, "In case you're wondering about the batters boxes, so are we."
Take it away, Twitterverse:
