If they were healthy that series would have been over in five games instead of Theo being the best baseball mind since Abner Doubleday.

 

When Carrasco and Salazar both got hurt in September, nobody realized at the time how important that would become in Chicago.

This is incredibly hard to believe, you would think the steroid/balco era would have run away with it

What makes you think there isn't something like that now. It doesn't appear so but you never know with what they can invent in a lab.

 

I think it's more the ball right now.

I think the ball is a huge factor right now. There is some credence to the idea that guys are lifting the ball a bit more, but there is no way that helps make up that big of a difference.

That's very true, but now it seems so much more spread out. Back in the 90s they had multiple players breaking 60, getting 40 was no big deal, 50 was impressive but attainable. Now it just seems like everyone has 10-20 with one guy breaking 50 and only two at the moment with 40

I agree. that's why I said I think it's more the ball. However, never put anything past the chemists. They probably designed a new one not to be so obvious as to get caught by players heads actually increasing size.

Todd Frazier hit a foul ball that hit a young girl today. Hopefully she is ok, but it pisses me off when parents bring really young kids, let alone babies, to games and sit that close. It's time they have netting in every park. No excuses, MLB. It's time.

Where were they sitting? Closer in than dugout?
