Wouldn't the gradual increase suggest it wasn't some singular change to the ball? I mean this years numbers seem like a small sample size anyway but a trend rather than a one season dramatic shift seems to suggest something else in play like the shift or maybe just an overall focus on launch angle meaning the power guys put more balls in the air? I dunno. I am not a baseball scientist.

Cubs legend and future MVP Frank Schwindel is happily married to his longtime sweetheart and Suzuki is married to the game, I think that has the entire roster covered for a couple decades for good vibes

Sterling day for former Cubs, lol. Imagine a team taking a shot on you despite the fact that you've sucked absolute poo poo for 3+ years now, and you still won't get the loving shot so they don't have to drop you on the restricted list. What an absolute loving dickhead.

This would only be true if they made a one-off change to the ball. They have been messing with it every season

This seems like settings for a classic Acuña Spite Game, though I’d just be happy for him to come out of it uninjured https://twitter.com/paige_leckie/status/1527746046167765003?s=21&t=tITbeH5hfxKa5HiMXFcHsA

One of the greatest ever baseball writers, Roger Angell, has passed away at the spritely age of 101. A link to a commemoration of him at the New Yorker, where he wrote for 75 (!) years. Angell on being a fan: https://twitter.com/rog61/status/1527757398924054531

bawfuls posted:yes, and that's far more attributable to changes in the ball's composition than to dramatic, league-wide improvements in defense over a 3 year span I am not a physics understander. Why would changes in the ball result in 'needing to achieve greater exit velocity to achieve same result' rather than 'exit velocity on contact is reduced'?

Here's him blogging on the 2016 Mets-Giants wildcard game, and the ending lines are wonderful: Roger Angell posted:Ian’s first major-league game was on September 9th at Yankee Stadium, where Mark Teixeira, in one of the last at-bats of his distinguished career, hit a grand slam against the Tampa Bay Rays. This will instill in Ian a lifelong sense of joy and optimism—nothing remotely like reality, but another gift from baseball. He wrote that just after turning turned 96. e: The New Yorker took some of his pieces out of the archives for the obit. On Bob GIbson, 1980.

Hand Knit posted:I am not a physics understander. Why would changes in the ball result in 'needing to achieve greater exit velocity to achieve same result' rather than 'exit velocity on contact is reduced'? 1) Changes in the Coefficient of Restitution (COR), i.e. the stiffness or bounciness of the ball. Changes in COR will change how fast the ball leave the bat for a given batspeed and pitch velocity. If COR goes down, you have to swing harder to achieve the same exit velocity. 2) Changes in the drag (through seam height or other surface changes), i.e. how much air resistance slows down the ball during it's flight. If the drag increases, then a ball will travel less far given the same exit velocity. The data in that tweet suggests a change to #2 here, i.e. you have to produce a higher exit velocity to achieve the same travel distance/outcome. bawfuls fucked around with this message at 00:11 on May 21, 2022 |

It's a real good read about Ron Darling and Frank Viola going head to head in college. Coincidentally, the anniversary of that game is tomorrow.

Saying Roger Angell is the best baseball writer ever is like calling Herman Melville our greatest chronicler of whaling. He's one of the best writers the English language has produced, full-stop. I doubt a week has gone by since he published this essay that I haven't thought of a line from it.
