OK silly question but, can a game be stopped to take care of a field issue?
During a game there was an issue with a large hole being in the pitching circle in the path of the pitchers drag foot. Pitchers from both teams were having trouble with the issue. Between pitches the pitcher would try to fill the hole in and between innings the coach, pitchers and infielders would try to cover hole with the dry dirt.
There were two games (double-header) on the field and between games field crew brought out a bucket of water and dirt (and shovel/rake and other field tools) and fixed the hole and it did remedy the problem.
I have never seen this done but was wondering if the game could have been stopped to fix the issue?
