A number of outlets (this one from Larry Brown Sports) have reported that Commissioner Blinded By The Light (yeah, Rob Manfred himself!) all but admit the 2019 balls are juiced for home runs.
He just says the center cork "pill" of the ball is creating less drag.
And if you believe that, I'm in drag as the Queen of England!!!
Your majesty...
Shut up. :)
When my friend used to follow baseball (MAGA and the Dodgers getting screwed half a decade running now have basically ended all that!), she would make reference to idiocies like Game 5 of the 2017 World Series, that debacle in Houston where balls were as if they were shot out of a cannon!!
And now, do we go one day anyone without at least three 11-7ish run-fests anymore?
All you'd have to do, if you wanted to absolutely ensure a result, is to know which balls have the easier "pill" and make sure one team gets those and the other doesn't.
Provided TS does not HTF in the next six weeks, my annual Vegas trip should be a very interesting look at how this is going in baseball!
