This Week In World Of Baseball.

 

Its June. Summer Is Grazing On The Seasonal Plain. The World Of Baseball Laden with Endless Abreation Is A Spiraling Pitch  Heading Front and Center Down And Up, Up And Down The Strike Zone Widening, And So is Rhe scope Of The Sport’s paradigm.

We Are Still Talking About substances.

The Substance In Question Is No longer Spide Tack As Previously Discussed But the rather content substance of Two Memos Issued By Major League Baseball Authorities. Sent forth In Span Of Little Over A Year Addressing The Outlook Of Policy and Punitive Procedure for Myriad Of Sticky Substances Pitcher Apply To Baseball To Procure A Competitive Advantage. The first of These members introduced  February 2020, Dating  Back To the Prepandemic Societal  Order. Major League Baseball Officials. Noted All Parties involved That “we Are aware Of The Substandard  Substance Situation And Going forward we Intend To enforce The rule we Set In place To deter This Behavior. the standard: No Alteration Of Any Kind Is To Be Made To A Baseball. Not even Sweat. Punitive Powers: ejection. “…MLB is conducting our normal spring training meetings to review rules, replay, umpiring and…We want to ensure that all clubs understand the rules and regulations and adhere to them,”(NY PPost) At That time, The World of Baseball had  Not Yet  Been Saturated In the Subject Of Sticky, Spin, and Spider(tack). That Phase Of  2020 and Beyond  Had Not Started Yet.  The 2nd Memo was issued in March of this Year And It Serves To Re-establish The Guideline outlined in The Previous Memo, Underscoring The Nature Of This Practice of using Foreign Substances As Dereliction and Lastly Layer the Added deterrent Of Added Monitoring. The Litany Of discourses written On the Subject Just This Past week Seems to intimate that this Was An Issue Major League baseball was Only Now Beginning To Crack Down, despite knowledge of the abuse. It Appears To Be One they Are now really starting To Consider An Issue. The coming Crackdown Of Conversing controversy Will Clamor more conflict.  The Strident Enforecmant Of Substance Policy could Have A  Effect For Batter. A Note; when Pitchers Sacrifice Control For Spin, more batters,  are theoretically under the Pressure of Being Hit. when They, pitchers, Use Deregulated Substances permissible, pitchers have More Control and  Less Spjn Which, Theoretically, Could Incline Batters To Be far More Aggressive On the Pitch Outside Of the Strikezone. The Majors Have Suffer A Noticeable Decline In Runs Per Game and Incresaisng Number Of No-Hitters. This Hardline Against Foreign Substances Could Be a Direct Response To Major League Baseball Run Defencicy And Have Ripple Effect upon Number Of Cords AS The Season Enters the Uptick Of The season. Baseball’’s Comppenet Authority Notified Teams That There Will Be Increase Monitoring and Enforcement Of Rule 6.02(c-d)Which, The Rule Itself, elucidates The Greater Details Of Major League Baseball Substance Abuse Policies, As I so succinctly Paraphrased. The Prospects from a Hitters Persoectuve Is JAded. Since The Growling Policiticy Of The Scandal And Its Subsequent Fall out Of Pitcher Using Less or No Auxillary Substance, Hitting Splits Have Risen. These Stats Were reconding In May and June. Enforcement will begin in earnest next Monday, June 21,

 

 

 

In More Sticky New: Rays Ace Tyler GAlsnow was Placed on A ten Day injury Leave After He was dIagnosed With A UCL Injury In His Pitching Hand. Quick Anatomy Lesson, The UCL (ulnar collateral Ligament)  Is  Located On The Inside Of the Thumb, opposite the index finger, and runs Along the phalanges. As A Function The UCL Supports  The Thumb  “Phalangeal Structure and Stability”, These Are The Bones That Consistue the Thumb. The Ligament Prevents Or resists Forces That Push The Thumb In Any Abnormal, abductive ReFlective Motion. The Injury to Glasnow Or ANy Apparent Finger Injury Occurs When An rapture Or Stress against The Thumb is too great or at av degree of pressure is apply Is beyond The Natural consistency Of the thumb Strength. It Assumes Most Pitchers Follow A Consistent MotionMenaing their Thumbs Are accustomed to An expected Stress load. Glasnow Asserts That The Recent Subtraction Of sticky Substance From Use HAs Contributed To Said Injury Amongst An Number Of Other Side affects The Rays Top Right Hander Has Been Facing Since Going Cold Turkey. Medical Science Concurs That The Change In His Biomechanics As A Result of applying Added Force To His Pitch Motion Could Have resulted In this Injury. The Science Involved InThe Sticky Conversation is Just that, Sticky. The Rays Have Been Embroiled In An AL Conference  Race That features divisional rivals Thr Boston Red Sox and the team New Minted The With Al Best record and Runs differential The Chicago White Sox. Along With The Hot Streaking Athletics Of Oakland. With Clgasnow Gone for The Foreseeable Future, The Rays Will be Absent His Team Leading 2.66 Era And 5 Wins On The season. The Rays And White Sox are Battling For Supremacy This week.

Tatis and Vlad Both Have 20 and 22 respectively this year, with Ohtani Coming Up to The Bend Homers On The Year. Vlad Junior Is Chasing One Of The MLB’s Loftiest Feat Which Is The Triple Crown. The Triple Crown Is won By Any Batter Who Leads The Majors in Batting Average, Home Runs, And RBIs. Currently,y Vlad Is Fourth In  Batting Average And Leading In Majors In Home Runs And RBIs. Vlad Is the Only Player In The Majors Who Owns Top 5  Real Estate In All Of Three Of Those Categories. If He Maintains His Batting Momentum, currently, 22/56/.343 Through 66 games, He Would Be The First To win the Triple Crown Since Detroit Slugger Miguel Cabrera In 2012. Cabera finished the Season with Withhitting splits of 44/139/.330 in his a season. Through 86 Games 18/71/.324. If Vlad Wins He Would Be One Of the Youngest winners of The Award of All Time. Nando Tatis JTerminatedted A Ball Some 477 ft a night ago, Notching 21 on the season Only One Behind Vlad Guerro for The Lead In The Majors. Unfortunately, The Padres Lost That Game And The series Versus The Colorado Rockies. Nando Is Still Amongst The Favorites To win Nl MVP But He’ll Need To Be More Homers this summer to keep. The Padres amongst the NL Most formidable. Ohtani Remains The OOnly Shining Light Of The. Halos Of ananhiem This Seasoon. He Could Easily be A Leading  Candidate For MVP If The Angels Weren’t hard in Their Diviond Coming Of Of Series sweep By The Athletics.
