David SchoenfieldGiancarlo Stanton, mired in a terrible slump in May, has swung and missed on 40.4 percent of swings on the season. In our database going back to 2009, that's the highest rate for a regular player. Even Mark Reynolds hasn't hit that percentage.

"It sounds like in Japan, they're trying to make me the Hit Queen," Rose told USA Today Sports. "I'm not trying to take anything away from Ichiro -- he's had a Hall of Fame career -- but the next thing you know, they'll be counting his high school hits.

Kind of a messy game, but Ichiro threw out a runner at home which made for a pretty good night.
The Marlins Park PA pumped out maybe the most godawful musical sewage i've heard at a major-league game. I can only imagine what the clubs are like down here.

out of curiosity is there like legit proof that the ball is juiced vs. just a change in batting coaching (aka: it's ok to sstrike out 200 times just try to hit 30 homers; launch angle training; etc)? was talking abt it with a pal tonight and realized neither of us knew if there was any solid evidence, it seems like it'd be pretty easy to prove

the entire league did not suddenly switch swinging strategy at a specific point in the middle of 2015
the lindbergh/lichtman study is absolutely enough for me. the statcast era has given us everything we need to know to see the difference and weed out other variables.
has there been a league-wide shift in hitting philosophy since then? yeah, but i don't think that would've happened if it wasn't clear there was a new ball to work with. it presented a new opportunity to get offensive value out of struggling, aging hitters, and teams have taken advantage.
― qualx, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 00:25 (six years ago) link
i don't think it's actually possible in our human reality for this degree of HR% increase to happen in this short a span without a change to the ball, and i have a doctorate in baseball science
― qualx, Tuesday, 3 October 2017 00:27 (six years ago) link

Not playing captain save a captain, but I suppose one could say that I doubt ESPN would not have lit into Roger Goodell or Adam Silver in the same way and that would be true. ESPN doesn't seem to give a shite about baseball on a good day, so it's not surprising.
Marlins are into their third extinction cycle. Their team existence is some type of weird Chinatown real estate scam, just looping suckers into buying high. Loria was able to flip $158 millon of borrowed money into selling a club for over a billion dollars and he got a world series ring. Who is laughing now?
