48 Home Runs today. Juiced Ball? Media HR hype?

[soccer10k]

Did anyone ever consider that it could just be a coincidence? What's next? What if there is a day when only 20 HR's are hit; are you going to ask should the mound be lowered again? No. It was one day with a lot of home runs and nothing to make a big deal about. If the pace continues over the course of the season, then you have a legitimate question to ask. But we aren't even 2 weeks into the season. Everybody is feeling good and hasn't suffered the normal wear-and-tear of the baseball season yet.

 

Raising the mounds would only make it harder to hit the ball. Not sure what you mean. You guys give baseball executives way too much credit. By the way, I'm not basing my opinion on what some may call a wild goose chase, and personally I find some of the comments in this thread condescending and insulting. I was making an observation based on what I've seen after personally watching parts of nearly 50 different games on mlb.tv. If it keeps up all year and certain pitchers end up with say 5-10 homeruns can I post a painting of an ostritch with his head in the sand? Would that be appropriate?

 

Fixed. Sorry about the mistake. I was typing quickly and didn't check what I wrote. Lowering the mound then.

 

I see what you are saying, but I don't think you can use less than two weeks of a baseball season to say that the ball is juiced. But if these early season home runs aren't a trend but the norm, then by all means point it out to me and say "I was write and you, soccer10k, were wrong." This goes for just about anything. Two weeks just isn't long enough.
