I'm beginning to wonder if the balls are juiced. We've seen some absolute moonshots this year.

The pitcher threw him two high and tight pitches to brush him back. I think he took it personally and ‘Jap slapped’ the ball to the outer edge of the park. Kellum sent the next one out. Fun times at the Dude.

The mid week game w/ ULM had some real shots but those had a 25mph wind pushing them. Tonight there was little to no wind at all though

It's obvious at all levels of baseball that year in and year out the balls don't remain the same but why do the decision makers seem to keep it a secret when they Make chose changes? And wouldn't it be pretty simple to take a last year ball in one hand and a this year ball in the other and drop both at the same height on a hard surface and see if they bounce the same?

This team has some really good hitters. Hopefully by mid season they will be pounding it consistently. And maybe we can find a few pitchers and have a decent team

The last time people were crying about the balls being juiced, it ended up being something else that was.

A lot of the reason some of these balls are carrying so far early in the season this year is simply from the weather we have had.

The early warm weather has balls carrying out at all levels of play right now. I've seen some balls hit in highschool this year that were shots. Normally this time of year we are still having some bitterly cold spells that we just haven't had this February and the start of March.
