MLB once again can't maintain a consistent ball. Travis mentioned the bigger seams are causing the ball to die in the air. He said its also impacted pitchers grip. This is getting so ******* old. No other sport seems to have a problem with such a basic thing as maintaining a consistency with the most important piece of equipment in the game.

I am going to try and keep the faith, but it is difficult with his errors and his just total lack of production at the plate. If it makes you feel any better, Soler avg is .130, 11 SOs, OBP is .259 and OPS .389, as opposed to Rosario's avg .043, 5 SOs. .154 OBP, .197 OPS. They both have 23 ABs.

With all the issues and talks around pitchers using substances to gain a better grip on the ball and that evolving to increasing spin rates WHY would you produce a slicker ball that will encourage them to start up again? Rob Manfred is literally the worst commissioner in the history of sports and it's not close. TheTrue7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Rosario riding the bench after that performance last night and it is a LH tonight for SD too. Snit also takes Ozuna out of LF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redjack Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 The thing that sucks the most about this really bad start to the season is that the Dodgers and Mets are going to be SO. *******. GOOD. I hate those 2 teams more than anyone else in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
