Its going to be wet for some of the games this weekend. Which teams are "mudders"? Do wet conditions favor power hitting teams? finesse teams? fast teams? pitchers? hitters? None of the above?

They do not favor teams that hit the ball on the ground a lot. They don't favor teams that use speed and bunting. They also don't favor teams that rely on good defense en lieu of power hitting.
I actually think it favors teams that are weaker on defense but strong on power hitting. A HR goes out just as easy in the mud as it does in the dry. If you were iffy on making a play with it dry, does it really reduce your chances significantly when it's muddy?
It is definately the great equalizer.
(At first I thought you meant Mudders like "Mudders and Fadders".)  |

"mudders" is a horse racing term...sorry. I was a horse track rat in college. When the winning horses' owner didn't show up in the winners circle, my roommate and I would stand in to have our pic taken with the roses around our shoulders. We'd cover our dorm room walls with all those pictures then tell the co-eds our Dads were filthy rich. Not sure what this has to do w/ baseball, but it helped us score lots of runs.

| My son loves to play in the rain. Not storms, but just a regular rain. |
