Heaney getting 2/25 to pitch at Globe Life is laughable. That new slider isn't going to fool anyone in the AL West.

"If a baseball is random, the way MLB described it, you would see a rainbow of flavors, of weights on baseballs," said Max Scherzer, the New York Mets' fireballer who took a leading role in negotiating the current CBA. "But if you see two distinct weights being manufactured, then it's only rational to assume that you know how to make the two weights. And if you know how to make the two weights, then that's intentional, not random."

Yes that is intentional

The ball fuckery is bad but everyone knew this was going on and both teams get to play with the same hosed balls. It's not the same as the astros.

Michael Kay says his sources say stuff is happening but Heyman is wrong and Yanks are still in. Who knows but assuming his connections are Yankees no reason to string out hope if it’s burnt.

no surprise AT ALL that the league was willing to covertly manipulate baseballs to do this

I hope this turns into a huge scandal and destroys every remaining faith in the “sanctity” of any baseball records.

There’s an entire cottage industry now of scientists and journalists who analyze the balls after each season to see how badly MLB hosed with everything in a futile attempt to find that sweet spot between DINGERS and NONOS

look again, they clearly put livelier balls into Yankees games, particularly in September, to help ensure Judge got to 62

Yeah maybe but it's impossible to know. What about 2020 when they were clearly juicing the ball and guys like Brett Gardner were hitting 30 homers? They pull this poo poo all the time.

It does if the team doesn't have a bunch of home run hitters. Warning track balls turn into home runs. Jeez Judge needed a short porch AND juiced balls to barely break the record

The legitimacy of what record - having like the 10th most home runs in a season?
