1. Krusty Posted: December 06, 2022 at 09:34 PM (#6108396)They know how to design a spec, they just don't know how to produce to a spec and producing to a spec is the most important part.
- but Will's research needs independent confirmation before taking it to the bank. Lots of things seem solid when first presented (ref Proverbs 18:17)
- MLB's pushback against getting insight, as revealed here, is very disconcerting. Open Kimono, Manfred, or you're just acting like those who shut the doors on abuse investigations.
Is this league becoming WWE?
How so? They were able to predict how much a ball would weigh by its date of manufacture. The balls that weighed more traveled further when hit. The batches of balls that weighed more were typically used only for special events (All Star game, postseason) and Yankee games.
My primary thought is that this isn’t a structured experiment but is based on whatever data was available (in this case, gathered baseballs). There could be a selection bias or there could be an issue related to small sample sizes.
The balls were still within regulation/specs, so no need for an asterisk.
In 2022, Yankees hitters hit and pitchers allowed 71 more dingers than lg avg. From 2019-21, those numbers per 162 games are 90, 62, and 12, respectively (all positive).
I suspect you are the first person to express the desire to see Manfred in an open kimono and the last thing Manfred needs is a Harvey Weinstein moment.
I'm pretty sure that everything from a rock to the superballs that came out of Sammy's bat are within spec.
