Watch the Miss St-UGA super regional. Yesterday they hit 11 combined homers. They've already hit 3 combined today and the game's in the third inning. I think most of Miss State's lineup can hit it 400+ feet.
I believe that was the first game of the super regional. I was at the game the following day. Our pitching was not very good that year.Miss St just hit three homers in a row. Still not touching our record of 5 in a row-also set at the UGA super regional in '06 (20 years ago-I still remember where I was when I saw that).
When they're launched into the stratosphere it's another thing. Miss St right fielder hit two 450 ft bombs today. Maybe part of it was the help of equipment but that takes power too.Home Runs are boring.
Good points. I guess more than anything I miss being a part of the postseason.Been a crazy year for HRs. Personally I don't particularly care for it... a little over the top. Too many nine hole hitter bombs and guys hitting multiple HRs in one game... sometimes three. If I had to guess, baseball is about due for another equipment change. That's what they do, toy with the game. Hope our hire reflects that. Our luck we'll get a HR specialist again and then the changes come and catch us with our pants down.

And get rid of the DH.Maybe time to switch to wood bats?
And elevate the pitching mound.And get rid of the DH.
If I had to guess, they will de-juice the ball and allow bats to advance their tech. Big money in bats... the ball not so much.Maybe time to switch to wood bats?
Me too.Good points. I guess more than anything I miss being a part of the postseason.
