The giants are third in their division in run differential by a lot and are still 35 runs better than the next NL team

Coming into today, seven qualified batters have a batting average of .199 or lower. Were the season to end today, it would tie for the seventh most all-time since 1871, alongside 1888. The most recent season with seven or more player seasons is 1890, which had eight such batters.

so baseball is the only sport where the players are getting worse.  bright future ahead.

the league previously told pitchers do whatever you want to the ball there will be no penalties....now theres word leaking they are going to improvise some rules on what can and cant go on the ball

nobody will be disciplined but sirens are going off at planet manfred

So they'd be cool with the guys using a nail file?

And if that's the case stop throwing every god damn ball that touches dirt out of play

[MDS]

its like some combo of rosin and sunscreen but people are also using forms of glue

everyone is doing it and its beyond blatant

[Munson]

Seems like between the shift and the ball goo, you could take out one of those two things and improve offense without overdoing it

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah quit the baseball doctoring.

The ball gets rubbed down with the Delaware River mud and that's it. Buncha Gaylord Perry's out there.

[MDS]

pitchers are always going to do something, its just worse than at any point in the modern era

the velo increases and launch angle and shifts are factors but this is why sheer contact has dropped so rapidly from 2020
