Sometimes I think they changed most of the balls, leaving a few Titleists in the rotation per series. One of them hit by Altuve comes to mind.

Yes. I think they switched the balls. I think they needed to. But I think they should have announced it. We all should have known what was coming. Biggest problem is that they waited until the post season. Funny that we didn’t hear the pitchers saying good things about the ball, or the seams like we did when they were struggling to adapt earlier in the season. Home runs are fine. So are outs. They’re a part of the game... There definitely were comments from the pitchers in the Yankees / Astros series about how the balls seemed different and they would have liked to know that a change was being made. MLB management is a shitshow. The sport succeeds in spite of them. They should have used the same ball all year. IF they wanted to change the ball, do it in spring training, when the games don't count |

IF they wanted to change the ball, do it in spring training, when the games don't count I thought they should have addressed this via complaint through the manufactures and had the balls replaced as soon as it became evident there was an issue. Had they done that they could have switched the ball out after the all-star break. Instead, they used up the supply for fear of losing a dollar or two. What concerns me the most is that MLB sat on their thumbs pretending they didn’t know what was going on... |
