You mean the UCLA pitcher throwing batting practice fastballs right over the middle of the plate because homeruns in 90% of ballparks barely make it to the warning track is real baseball...riiiiight
btw this isnt what happened in the ucla/lsu game. the pitchers constantly threw high strikes and lsu wasnt disciplined enough to lay off them.

it'll help when the balls are changed some. it went from rewarding mediocre hitting, to having it pretty much perfect, to where it is now where it rewards mediocre pitching. neither extreme is good for college baseball.
I agree with this AND that the main reason LSU struggled vs. UCLA was plate discipline.

A lot of LSU baseball fans on the rant think "gorilla ball" is their god given right or something. I agree that the new ball will help to make the games more entertaining but you have to adapt. It's ok to make adjustments.

no not many people are clamoring for gorilla ball to be back. not even on the rant. there is a difference between gorilla ball and the way the game was played before these bat changes.

I sorta agree but it goes both ways. If a pitcher grooves a ball right down the middle, or hangs a curve, and gets bailed out by a ball falling 10' short of the warning track, something is wrong with that too.
Which is exactly what is happening.
The ball just doesn't go. With the old 90's bats, your 9 hole was a 20 HR guy. Thats wrong, but so is a pitcher that continuously gets bailed out for making bad pitches. When you get more pop out of a wood bat, you've gone too far.
