The Ball is Juiced - 2019

Early returns suggest the HR's are on the rise again, after taking a slight dip in 2018. https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/04/16/game-thrones-names-new-york-yankees-home-run-record I guess this itself doesn't explain why we're last in MLB in ERA. But maybe there's something to this?

You want to make the games shorter? How about letting pitchers pitch? All these guys taking slow jogs around the bases just gets tedious after a while. I think it's clear that our pitchers just haven't been sharp so far. I also think the wind at Citi was actually blowing out for a few games, which will happen less often over the summer.
