Plus, more difficult to throw breaking balls.

This is the main impact of the flat seams, far more than long ball carry, if that is even affected much at all. If a pitcher gets less movement on his pitches, that's an advantage to the batter. And consequently we should see more offense.

The lack of offense over the last few years has made the game very tough to watch.

No they aren't.... Pitchers prefer this ball the breaking balls just don't bite as much but overall is good for CBB. Can't wait to see this team, they would have already been better on offense but this will make it that much better IMO. Can't wait!!

This. The ball will carry better and go farther, but the real difference will be the pitching. ERA's are about to go up
