Bombs Away!

The Angels and Orioles let the balls fly tonight, each side blasting four home runs. Sixteen hits in the game, eight home runs. The Orioles came out on top, 6-5 as Ramon Hernandez continued his hot hitting with a solo homer in the ninth to win the game.

How come nobody is talking about the absolute plethora of homeruns hit so far this year? 8 HRs in that game, 5 HRs in the Jays/Sox game...there have been a ton of games like that already. I realize it's still relatively early, but we've played about 150 games and averaging about 2 and a half ding dongs per game..and nobody is talking about it?

I thought getting rid of steroids was supposed to get rid of HR's?

Ahaha, I didn't even see your post from earlier in the day. My bad. But this has still gotten very little attention.

Maybe because it blows out of the water all the theories that came before!

Perhaps it is the pitcher's use of steriods that has been impacted the most.

So much for reading in order - sorry for the repeat comment

well there has GOT to be some reason why the HR explosion now that we can't blame bonds or sosa.

4 HR a side in a game is just ridiiculous.

maybe it's the baseball itself like it was in 1987

The wind was blowing out straight and constant to CF in that game. There, that is an explanation.
