probably doesn't matter if the season's getting cancelled or whatever, but the baseballs they've used this year seem to be less juiced than last year, at least going by league HR/FB. down to '16/'18 levels. they might just be using the '18 batch again like they did in the postseason last year.
maybe a small sample size so far but considering 1. games are starting in the middle of july when home runs should be peaking, none of that cold april weather lowering the number 2. NL adding the DH should hypothetically make a small difference at least
this is the only thing i care about anymore

early results from european soccer suggest that the lack of fans diminishes home-field advantage, so i'm kinda curious to see how it goes in baseball

they showed that graphic "most leads blown" and the Pirates led the league last year with 51 or something and I was like "I'll be impressed if they can beat that this year" well they are definitely on their way
