I think it's the difference between short-run and long-run changes. You can build a team to suit a park, but the park's not changing from game to game. You can't water down the basepaths only for those games with speedy teams (didn't a team nearly forfeit a game for doing this sometime in the 90s?). Because they can close/open the roof at will, it seems more unfair than the normally accepted differences. (grass is a close call, i admit).
BTW, from what I read the weather would have suggested an open roof.
