I think it has more to do with the location of the new stadium. The ball just does not carry in the new stadium. Batters are crushing it and starting the home run trot only to have the ball caught at the warning track.

They have completely removed the home run from center field and that changes the game. Just need to move the fence in more in my opinion.

that would be opposite directions, correct?

It's not just that park. Did everyone change their fields to face the wind? The bats suck dick and that's why the balls aren't flying.

No way they ever go back. It's safety issue and they can't take the chance of a pitcher being severely injured or maybe dying. The offense is down but you must admit those 21-14 games were ridiculous.

People are talking about the recent bat change, not the one from the 90s.
