      I think they're interesting. What I have noticed this year is games are very fast, many completing in a little over two hours. Pitching has been excellent.

        It just moves the sweet spot. Pitch them to the outside.

          More walks that way.

            having played hardball my whole life, I never developed a good baseball swing as I also played a ton of slow pitch softball. So I am what you would call a caster, I do not keep my back elbow tucked into my body on the swing as advised, thus mine is long and slower. It becomes a handicap when there's a pitcher bringing the gas of 85mph or better. For many many years though, we played with aluminum bats and they have a much larger sweet spot on their bats and were more forgiving when not hitting the ball on said sweet spot. Then we moved to wood about 15 years ago and if you ever looked at my bats, you would see most of the ball marks are closer to the label than on the good wood nearer the end. What I am trying to say is that this torpedo bat would have helped me alot!

              Oh, baseball.

              I was hoping this was going to be about nocturnal creatures with scary hunting patterns.

              I was only joking
