re: How much difference will the flat seam baseball make?

Are you sure???

Solid logic. Every ball is hit to the edge of the warning track.

wasn't thinking at all right there. Substitute 20 for 6 and do the same math, that's more realistic imo and it'd add 10 extra homers to last year even if there was a warning track shot every 2 games which wasn't even close to happening ETA: what I was getting at in the post that I fricked the numbers up was that the new balls would add between 0 and 20 feet on a 15 foot track which would lead to 25% being gone.

Even a ball hit at the edge would only need to be falling at an angle of 39* to make it over the fence if it lands 20 feet further.
ETA: This assumes a 12 ft. fence. LSU has 10 and 14

That isn't true either. The limit is not 20 feet. 20 feet was the average given the typical home run ball with an exiting velocity of 95 mph at a 45 degree (?? not sure if that was the correct angle).

Seriously, please get the frick out of this thread. Ell is actually an intelligent guy and I'm seeing where he's coming from even though I feel like I'm on one extreme of lowballing this and he's on another of highballing it but you're completely worthless

I know that sounds low but I'd really like to get a hold of the number of warning track shots last year. Big hits have felt so rare since they started using BBCOR Posted on 1/28/15 at 4:28 pm to southeasttiger113

Grow up. ell has been very nice in this thread and has responded to your posts despite your complete lack of reading comprehension.
Maybe you should act like less of an arse towards him

Not to mention that we're probably including balls that were caught on the warning track, which would be about 6 feet above the ground and haven't reached their full distance

can't throw a curve, slider, knuckleball, 4 seam or 2 seam fastball. All of these depend on aerodynamic air flow over the seams to work. Changeups and split finger depend more on grip and arm speed.
Posted on 1/28/15 at 4:41 pm to bruce2129
Wrong. With pitchers it's much more about grip. Like I eluded to earlier, it's about how fast the ball spins which has the biggest effect on movement because of pressure. And even if you were right, I have no clue what method you used to split up those pitches...

Most of those were addressed to you. And it's cute that you're sticking up for your internet boyfriend, try going outside occasionally and stop taking TD so seriously? Everything that he's explained I've agreed with, but not every formula translates to real life and basically all he's done is turn it into a formula/theory debate rather than addressIng my earlier posts when I was more on topic. Not saying I was derek jeter or had a significant playing career, but I've thrown and hit enough baseballs to know what I'm talking about and the seams from college to minor leagues made little to no difference, don't really care what anyone says otherwise. I already said that I know virtually nothing about physics but I do have a lotttttt more recent experience with this than the two of you do. Just trying to be realistic, but y'all feel free to keep debating with me about numbers that don't translate into real life because you're leaving out a ton of variables

What team do you watch? We hit plenty of those last year.

Because physics isn't real life?
Okay. You go on "feel" and don't care what anyone says. That's fine. But don't claim that's more "realistic" than stepping back and using real data and results.
You don't need to keep throwing out your credentials to try and give you credibility. We're on the rant and it doesn't mean shite. We're all arguing over pointless crap. Just try not to be such an arse about it and make a fool of yourself.
And TigerBait, I'll be your e-boyfriend.

It's probably because the bats at the time compensated for the difference. When was this?
