Baseball's focus on the HR is bad for the game.

"The game is simply devoid of action, with players striking out, walking or hitting home runs in 34 percent of their plate appearances. So, for more than a third of every game, there’s not a fielder involved in the action."

You forgot to say thanks Os, sssiigghh ** -- astrohokie 06/26/2018 1:05PM

So they're not hittin' 'em where they ain't anymore? ** -- HokieMacDaddy 06/26/2018 12:47PM

This is it. Very little hitting the other way. The Braves do it and they -- RhinoVT 06/26/2018 1:54PM

Pitching is too good -- Beerman 06/26/2018 12:22PM

There's some talk of making the mound the true middle of the diamond -- Nova Hokie 95 06/26/2018 12:28PM

Of course the other option is to hit the ball to the opposite field -- Hoke 06/26/2018 1:25PM

Yeah -- Beerman 06/26/2018 12:32PM

Hot for the suicide squeeze, though ** -- TomTurkey 06/26/2018 12:13PM

The suicide squeeze is on!!! Holy Cow, I think he's going to make it!! ** -- Late 80s Hokie 06/26/2018 4:06PM
