    Dead ball this year too. Pitchers finally get the edge back. Been far too long.
    Brings back "stress hitting", RISP, and overall execution and strategy to win games instead of the 3-run homer

    I had suspected something like this a few years ago when I saw how much the baseball moved with some pitchers. No way a shiny new baseball can move that much.

    Pinned by Baseball Doesn't Exist

    Trevor Bauer


    3 months ago

    I see you used a bunch of Momentum footage in your video and have ads turned on for this video, so you’re technically deriving revenue from footage that we shot. Did you reach out and get permission for that? I haven’t seen any licensing money come across the bank account and haven’t been made aware of any partnership. Please advise, because this is concerning.





    Trevor is more worried about the footage taken from his videos rather than the allegations of cheating lol wtf

    They don’t use shiny new baseballs in MLB. There’s a process they use on them before they’re put in play.

    You’d be surprised how many rotations an elite pitcher can spin a baseball

    Chemists today can come up some crazy stealthy sticky stuff these days.. Can make or break pitching careers now.

    March is my month...won it March 2018 w a tremendous NCAA tourney run, posted tons of winners, actually cleared $14k in book!

    But back to baseball, the athleticism of the middle infield, the arm strength if a right fielder, the chess match of the managers and the finess of getting men into scoring position IS THE GAME!

    This 1-9 having 25 hrs and 120 kos each sucks, plus now we get a dude on 2nd to start the 10th??? NO, you earn your base in mlb!

    MLB is the ONLY PRO SPORT where the defense has the ball. Think about that.

    So many life lessons learned by playing fundamental baseball as a kid, so many.

    All are lost on this current version of the game.

    This is true, there's a specific mud that is taken from some river in Jersey and mixed with some mud from New Orleans then rubbed on all balls before the game.

    I'm w/ u, Minny. There's an artistic element to baseball.

    If the batters play Home Run Derby...and the pitchers find clear pine-tar, I'm not interested.

    Some of the best highlights were the defensive plays made by guys like Concepcion and Ozzie Smith. Or Brooks Robinson and Graig Nettles. Give me some Centerfield highlights all day long, too.

    Yeah, I realize that. I was kind of taking literary license there to make a point.

    Strikeouts and homeruns are the two most boring plays in baseball....the balk is 1A.
