[KaseMeOutside]

Trout and Bellinger are each at 41, Alonso and Yelich are both at 39. Trout and Bellinger are at right about 10 at bats per homerun, I think they can make a run

I'd be surprised if any of them hit more than 50-51.

I think a few will get to 50, but 60 is asking for a lot.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

60 isn’t happening

 

[Maestro84]

Doubt anyone gets to 60 but they have a good chance at getting to 50-55 if they keep this up

 

[tony d]

I'd like to see one or more of them get 60 but it might to be to late for a 60 HR season.

When Ryan Howard his 58, on August 18 he had 44. Stanton had 45 on the same day en route to hitting 59. They'd have to get on a big hot streak to make it.

61 is still the record as far as i'm concerned so i'd love to see one of them take a run at it.

IIRC Stanton had like 2 weeks to hit like 4 homeruns to get to 60 and he just couldn't do it. A bit of a choke job. But man he was just insane around august time.

The greatest meme of all time on this subboard.

is my post still around or did it get lost in the board shuffling?

I'm hoping Bellinger gets into the 50s.

Just mlb being mlb. When they want more homers or less of them, they adjust the cores of the baseballs. They'll never take ownership of it, though, despite the facts, and are quite fine with the players taking all the blame when people start questioning increased hr totals. Just as long as they profit inbetween.

They had to get rid of it so they could keep all of ix's 100k twitter/reddit posts.

I thought they actually admitted last season they changed the baseball, which correlated with the HR increase. So what Verlander and a few others are claiming is they changed it even more this year and they aren't admitting it...?

manfred has said that the ball is "still within the manufacturing specifications set by the league."

the problem is that mlb owns rawlings now so they can do whatever they want. and when every player in the league is hitting 20+ homeruns, it's pretty obvious that they've fooled around with the ball.

you could have lost the "100k twitter/reddit" part of that as it's redundant.

There was never a time in baseball where a record was actually clean and legitimate.

I'm more of a Wilson guy anyways.

oddly enough, these probably have better seams.

They'd be lucky to get to 55 let alone 60

I hope Alonso can crack 50 which seems possible. Much more than that seems unlikely.
