Bill Veeck did something similar with the minor league Milwaukee Braves back in the day.

He had a 30’ chickenwire fence that rolled out electronically from the fair pole. He chose to either have it up or down, depending on the matchups. One game he had the fence up for the visitors, but down for the home team. “We didn’t win the Abner Doubleday award for sportsmanship that year.” They also lost the game, and the league rules were updated the following day.

he needs to warm up just so he has a feel on his pitches.

Warm up does two things essentially.

Most importantly it helps prevent injury.

It also helps pitchers find a feel for or command on their pitches.

Zito's last appearance was August 22

vs. the Cardinals. He went 3 and 2/3 innings, giving up 5 ER and 7 hits (one a Craig HR), walking 2, striking out 3.
