Marlins Park boasts some of the largest outfield dimensions of any stadium in the majors, so its no surprise that some of the teams hitters would like to see the fences moved in. Count Logan Morrison among them.

Morrison has blasted five home runs in 158 plate appearances on the road this season compared to just one home run in 155 plate appearances at home. While he doesnt blame his power outage solely on Marlins Park, he tells Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald that it has played a part.

Its definitely a factor, Morrison said of the Marlins huge ballpark. And that translates into the average not being there, too. You drive balls to the wall and they get caught. Not only is it not a homer, its not a hit.

Morrison is not alone among Marlins players who would like to see the team bring the fences in.

I think that would make it fair, Morrison said. But its not my decision.

Marlins Park might stifle power production, but ESPNs Park Factors notes that was 16th in the majors in run production last year and is tied for ninth this year. In other words, while balls might not be going over the fence, the vast dimensions allow for plenty of hits to fall. Morrison is an example of this, as he has a .257 batting average at home compared to a .228 batting average on the road. Still, if the fences are having an impact on the morale of the offense its bad enough being a Marlin it could be worth it to make the change. Besides, doesnt Jeffrey Loria want the home run sculpture to do its magic?

Its worth mentioning that Giancarlo Stanton might be wondering what the fuss is all about, as he produced significantly better at Marlins Park than anywhere else this season. Of course, he could probably play his home games in the Grand Canyon and still be successful.

FREDERICK, Md., Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- When it comes to your deer fence, nothing protects like steel, particularly if your property is as overrun with rabbits, raccoons, groundhogs, and other smaller pests as deer. While polypropylene is very resistant to chewing, with enough abuse from tiny teeth, it will breakwith this in mind, DeerBusters.com is now offering a chew-proof alternative to customers seeking the strongest possible protection against deer and rodent activity.

Steel core cable is the answer to fence and tension system damage caused by rodent chewing. Like the monofilament wire generally recommended by DeerBusters for most fencing applications, steel core wire is used at the top and bottom edge of poly deer fence to hold it upright and taut, creating both a professional and attractive look and a more effective barrier against jumping. It also tightens and reinforces the bottom edge that tends to suffer the most damage from rodents and deerdeer frequently try to dig or crawl under fences before risking a jump. Unlike monofilament, however, steel core will never break or snap because of chewing and digging. The secret of the strength is all in the name: at the center of the cable is a completely chew-proof core of galvanized aircraft cable, braided into seven strands of seven wires. The outside of the wire is a black PVC coating that both protects the steel from weather damage and helps it match the poly deer fence.

DeerBusters' new steel core cable is installed just as standard monofilament is installed, utilizing monofilament connection sleeves, connector clips, Gripples, self-locking ties, and round tighteners. Every length of steel core offered at DeerBusters.com is 8-gauge and compatible with 8-gauge connectors and tighteners. It is available in lengths of 333 feet, 666 feet, 1,000 feet, and 3,000 feet.

Steel core tension wire is recommended for any area experiencing high rodent traffic or where fencing is frequently damaged. DeerBusters suggests pairing steel core tension systems with maximum strength poly fencing and steel web rodent control fencing for the most effective installation possible. While it may only be necessary to install steel core at the bottom edge of a fence to control chewing, it should also be considered for use at the top of the fence in wooded areas where low branches may collapse onto the fence. For even more support, install a third line of steel core wire along the center of the fence to absorb impact from deer running into it.

CUMMING, Ga. -- "I've heard for years there were bears in the area, but I always told people they were crazy," Jeff Adler said. "Then I saw them."

Adler was driving home from a restaurant near the intersection of Post and Major Roads near the Polo Golf Country Club neighborhood when he spotted an adult and two juvenile black bears climbing a fence into a backyard. He followed them through the neighborhood as they moved through several backyards.

"As I was trying to get ahead of them, I saw a guy working on sprinklers. When I told him the bears were coming, he looked at me like I was crazy," he said. "But then, he screamed: Here they come!"

Adler said he followed the bears from a safe distance in his car until they went into an area of the neighborhood without roads. He called 911, and was told they would contact the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.

DNR spokesman Melissa Cummings told 11Alive's Julie Wolfe they currently have no plans to trap and remove bears in the area. They've been in touch with local authorities, but advised them to allow the bears to keep moving as they work their way to a more appropriate habitat.

To keep the bears moving, it's important people in the area take steps to make sure they don't unknowingly invite the bears to stay. They suggest the following tips:

- Do not feed or toss food to a bear - Keep children away from the animal - Keep pets indoors or in a controlled environment (remember, these bears can climb fences!) - Do not approach a bear - Never corner a bear - Never run from a bear, back away slowly and make lots of noise

Cummings also said easily accessible garbage is irresistible to a hungry black bear. Homeowners in the area where the bears were spotted should consider security garbage containers inside the garage and putting them on the curb the morning of pickup instead of the night before.

"Ideally, you want the bear to keep moving," Cummings said. "So, by making any non-natural food sources unavailable and by not cornering the bear (up a tree or otherwise), the animal will keep moving until it is back in a more appropriate habitat."
