Juiced ball is the best
Ironic considering verlander is an obvious juicer himselfEvery time in baseball history when there is an uptick in runs or homers people cry about the balls being juiced.
Ball probably changed in some ways but I think the focus on hitting hr probably has more to do with it.
When MLB snitches on the Astros staff and how their spin rate works...
He on pace thoAnd Trout still won’t ever hit 50 homers

Truly WOAT postingAnd this is why they can get away with it..idiots like this.
The focus on hitting hrs just led to more so’s not what you see today.
The fact the minors in one month had records shattered as the new ball was introduced is no coincidence. Its comical whats happening down there.
Pitchers hate it cause records are being broken and the new seams have caused blister issues to some.
Aside fro the new balls most these parke are sand boxes
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Manfred insisted owners and executives are concerned about the amount of homers that have been hit this season:
"The flaw in logic is that baseball wants more home runs. If you sat in owners meeting and listen to people on how the game is played, that is not a sentiment of owners for whom I work. There's no desire among ownership to increase homers in the game, to the contrary they are concerned about how many we have."
MLB owns Rawlings, which is the producer of the league's baseballs, but Manfred added that MLB has not handed down any directives to juice the balls, per ESPN's Jeff Passan: "Baseball has done nothing, given no direction, for an alteration of the baseball."
