Does the sticky stuff affect fielding of the ball as well? I have noticed a lot of what I call bouncy ball behavior this year. Fielders have difficulty on the exchange of the ball from glove to hand; balls bounce away after being caught etc. Maybe I am paying better attention after all these years of watching, but it does seem to be more prevalent so far this season than in the past.
