Here's probably my first instance of seeking input from fellow bloggers here and on mlbbloggers.com...
Can anyone explain why we are seeing so many more broken bats this year? On games I've watched it seems as if they've had two or three instances of broken bats per game.
We went through a phase a year or two ago where the bats would go flying out of the hitter's hands and into the stands on a semi-regular basis. I am wondering if, to cut costs, they are actually cutting into the bats' longevity and using cheaper material that doesn't hold as well together.
Whether or not the material is cheaper, the sawed-off bats are as much a threat to the infielders and pitcher as ever. Tiger P Andrew Miller had to dance out of the way of a sawed-off end that nearly clipped him on the legs on Sunday.
Remember in the year of the "rabbit ball" (1987), much was made as to the manufacture of baseballs. Could the same hold true in 2007 for bats?
Opinions on this are welcome.
