Pitchers are throwing harder and also people are trying to hit home runs.

That's his case.

I do think it's likely they did something to the ball, and it would be a logical move in response to the balance having tipped towards the pitchers significantly over the past six or seven years.

I'm pretty sure we also know for a fact that just in the last couple of seasons, hitters collectively have been swinging at and making hard contact with a lot more pitches that are low in the zone.

Though I'm not really sure how that comes about, where everyone just suddenly starts hitting low pitches?

Stephen Vogt hit 2 home runs, 3 RBI in his first game with the Brewers, a 3-2 win over Miami after being DFA'd by Oakland.

:unsmith: Hope he gets back to All-Star status with the Brewers or wherever he's at.

Also, I imagine it's easier to be a real good team with a bad bullpen than be a team that is only good because of its bullpen, if that make makes sense.

Houston should be inquiring about people like Pat Neshek, Tommy Kahnle, and George Kontos. Relievers who are pitching well and playing for lovely teams.


I on the other hand, wish the Indians would get some dang help in the starting rotation. I do not like Trevor Bauer.
