NOW it makes sense! It is absolutely a non-issue. In MLB, you've got fastballs travelling in excess of 100 mph. A batter will indeed try to gain every possible inch he can. Again . . . the lines are part of the box . . . soooooo, if you can "erase" them, you've got pretty much another couple of inches to work with. Nobody at that level's gonna squawk too much. You don't see too many million dollar babies standing up front in the box, do you?
