I don’t know whether I’m paying tribute to David Farragut or Tom Petty.
- The Yankees hit nine home runs against the Brewers on Saturday and many were quick to credit/blame New York’s new “torpedo” bats. Jack Baer has an explanation on what makes these bats different and no, they aren’t illegal.
- Brewers pitcher Trevor Megill thinks the torpedo bat should be made illegal.
- Jared Greenspan has reaction from throughout MLB on the torpedo bats.
- I’m not going to vouch for the accuracy of this graph, but it’s an illustration about how much better the torpedo bats are than normal bats.
