I thought this when in Game 4 of the Braves/Cardinals series Hecchavarria unloaded on a ball with the bases loaded and it was a fly out to the warning track. 100% that ball is out in the regular season

Brandon Dixon led the Tigers with 15 Home Runs ... I strongly believe that the umpires used the pre-juiced balls when the Tigers were at bat!!!

Totes atmospheric-related, Bro
Could be. There's so many different factors and I'm not an engineer or scientist. A team could add some seats for the playoffs or cover one of the tunnels for some reason and it could change the way a ball travels. I like a good conspiracy theory though

Scoring certainly isn't down. I think there's only been one shutout in the entire playoffs, and almost half of the games have been in double digits

No, but I'm a Cardinals fan. Apparently our juiced balls were just getting out of the infield.

That sounds like a 350 footer at best :wink:

Becoming painfully obvious that they messed with them.

Just horrible

Yeah that is definitely part of it. On a normal day in the regular season when you see all those home runs being hit you have to remember someone is getting to hit against the Orioles. And then there are the 100 degree days in Texas, the 90 degree days in Colorado. Or closer to home for me, when those teams with the lefty power roll into Philly on a hot day and get to face Zach Eflin. Much better pitching this time of year.
