I was watching the some box scores and I saw two games that was 17-0 and 17-4.

I haven't really watched baseball in years since inwas really into it as a kid. But damn I remember as a kid it was shocking seeing a game with 10+ runs. What changed with baseball?

They are cracking down hard on pitchers using anything on the ball, used to get away with a bit of pine tar or even grooving the ball with their fingernails but they took a strict approach and as a result seemingly, the pitchers are getting hit a lot more.

I'd be fine with a league where all the batters were allowed to juice and the pitchers could use whatever they wanted on the ball. It would be a lot of crazy motion in pitching and a ton of homeruns, I don't care if McGwire, Sosa, Bonds were juiced up, watching them play and destroy balls was a peak time in baseball.

I could be wrong, but I've seen people say that there's not much mid range game these days, batters either go for a homer or nothing. If that's true, that could explain the higher scores, along with presumably more strike outs.

Juiced balls lead to higher offensive numbers.

They cant use sticky stuff anymore.

The Cubs got rid of everyone. They are basically a minor league team right now.

Poor Hendricks
