every time I step out of the room for a sec, and any Houston player makes contact...it sounds like it's going yard. crushing

the ball has been juiced all year. mlb broke the record for home runs hit in a season so it is just a continuation of the season. maybe the arms are a little tired now.

The Houston TV announcer actually said on Correa's home run last night: "Correa pops it up to left"

Then... as it carries "it's pretty deep"

Would not doubt a bit that the balls are enhanced ...

Ratings are through the roof. But so is the speculation that the balls are juiced

This has actually been a conspiracy that the players have been talking about all season.

doesn't the ball fly out of the Houston park anyhow?

the raw numbers really don't mean much to me, shit happens, extremes happen, averages are just somewhere near the middle of extremes

however, when pitchers start complaining about the feel of the ball, that means more to me
