I recently had my deck rebuilt after snow damage last winter. Near the end of the job, the construction foreman dropped his thermos on the deck surface and it broke in two. Weakest flooring I ever saw.
This is the problem with Astudillo behind the plate. If we had 6'5" Joe Mauer still back there, instead of our 5'9" guy, that throw from left field would have been only 5 feet too high.
