So....the conspiracy theory is MLB is using different baseballs because they want less scoring? Okay They wanted juiced balls now they want dead balls? Just stop.

Just stop? It's actual freaking data there, not a wild conspiracy hypothesis. If you had a BP sub (which you should since you are such a wise expert on baseball), you'd see all the data in the article

Yes they wanted juiced balls to increase attendance and viewing during the regular season. All the pitchers in MLB have confirmed the balls are way different this year.
