A data-driven and thorough analysis by fivethirtyeight makes a compelling case that the balls are indeed juiced

Every time MLB goes through one of these periods where power numbers across the league either boom or bust, it's pretty much a guarantee that they're messing with the baseballs.

Kinda hope MLB follows his advice and adopts stricter standards for manufacturing.

I don't really mind juiced balls bc then it's at least an even playing field, unlike the steroid era

Yankees promote Andujar. He was always a pipe dream for the Braves to acquire in exchange for an Adams/Garcia package, but now there is 0% chance.

Not unless he comes up and can't make contact.

Nats blow another save

Nats lose turner. Out with a broken wrist ala freeman

Let's get freeman back and get within 6 games by September 1st!

Ouch. No pen and they've lost 2 really good players. Their window is closing too

 

[UNCBlue012]

Man. The Nats just have no luck and never get it right. Great rotation and lineup, no bullpen.

Alex Wood ain't quitting.

Do you think Dodgers fans talk about Coppy the same way we talk about Dave Stewart?

 

[cajunrevenge]

I think I would rather miss the playoffs than go through what the Nats are with their bullpen.

lol. Wood is still 2nd in ERA and FIP for those with at least 70 innings pitched.

No. Wood was more of a surprise no one saw coming. He was good before. But he also started in the pen this year because the dodgers didn't think he was good enough to start in their rotation.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

But man has Wood been impressive. Really stoked at how well he is doing. One of my favorites along with Meds.

I like Alex a lot. I hope he keeps it us. He isn't nearly this good, but we certainly could use a good pitcher like him right now. It's just very odd that it seems he's never been very highly valued at any point.

And Hillary was going to win in a landslide. Those idiots have no credibility.

Do you believe in percentages existing?
