Hard to take people seriously that are upset about how low BA are now. Bro, everybody is pumping 95 as a starter and every reliever is pumping 97-102. Not quite every, but 85%. There are maybe 20-30 starters in all of MLB that are still around 88-92. Maybe another dozen relievers, almost all of them lefty of course.
