ive played before and I don't remember running out to the warning track on every hit ball for an out. Being in the outfield was boring asf back in the day. These juiced balls would have made it more fun for me out there

does anyone agree with me that the dodgers manager should have taken out
brandon morrow after he gave up a hr in the first pitch? then the
dodgers would be up by 3 instead of tie game.....

Doesn't matter who goes out there.....you could have a pitching roster of Nolan Ryan Sandy Koufax Randy Johnson in their prime and it wouldn't matter

I agree, it's boring and stupid. It's like what baseball would be if they moved the fences in 100 feet. Now they make the ball slicker for the World Series so the pitchers can't get break on their sliders just to have more home runs but it's just artificial B.S.

You're on a betting site complaining about Baseball? Are you a troll or what? You dont have to watch the games. Watch highlights and then make your picks. wtf and this game 5 is legendary.

I don't want to sound like an idiot...but are they really using different balls for the world series??
Yeah, the story was on espn.com today. Pitchers from both teams noticed the difference, and statistically they're hardly getting any swings and misses on their breaking balls compared to what they normally do, because the slickness of the ball make it harder to grip. And obviously there have been quite a few home runs.

That's crazy...after all the cliches about the "integrity" and history of the game.

Fans want offense not low scoring boring games... Imagine and NFL playoff game ending 10 - 7, people will complain about how boring it was or an NBA playoff game ending 90 - 88, people will complain about it being boring.. You are living in an offensive era in pro sports..

Yep. It's all about entertainment and bringing in the casual fan. The purity of the game means nothing in sports anymore, hence all the gimmicks and rule changes we see in all the major sports to increase scoring. It's all about the almighty dollar.
