According to Baseball Reference, there have been 4979 home runs so far this year.
Last year, there were 6105.

There was speculation earlier in the year that the ball was different again, but maybe not super different.

What would be the best and/or most funny sporting implement to replace baseball bats with?  Cricket bats are cheating.

I'd like to see someone try to hit with a golf club.

"I also can't think of team being an obvious jerk to a beloved former player" - Do you consider David Wright a former player?
Meg Rowley

No, which is why they are such jerks.

Hypothetical world where you can choose to live as one of these two MLB player archetypes, which do you choose?

I can't imagine how cool it is to be tall. I am an average sized woman but I would love to be tall. I would be a Judge-Stanton-Gallo type because god damn, it must be so awesome to be tall.

It's crazy that Betts and Trout are so (relatively) comfortably atop the WAR leaderboard while having both played almost 20 games fewer than the other top players. Those guys are good.

We should appreciate our era of baseball very much imo.

your quick fix for the Mets?  outside of June they really weren't a terrible team (over .500 maybe?) and still dealt with a lot of injuries.   Could they be competitive next year adding any helpful (2?) bats?

Literally stop playing bad veterans.
My quick fix is that they play the probably better players on their roster and stop playing Jose Reyes. They play him so much.

Why can't the Dodgers find more playing time for Max Muncy? Sure, he went through a brief slump, but in no universe does that justify starting David Freese (0.2 WAR) over Muncy (3.5, tied for team lead). Not starting your best players isn't a great strategy in a pennant race.

I don't disagree. Also, does anyone else worry they are going to forever screw up the 2018 Dodgers sporcle quiz? I worry about that every day. I might screw it up now, and we are literally talking about David Freese.
Ok friends, I have to cut this one short to do some editing.
Thanks for your questions and sorry for what I didn't get to.

Same time next week, but likely for longer!
