More Home Runs? Climate Change

This is a true and factual statement.More home runs now because of climate change.
Yeah they have to be juiced because climate change also would keep them from being home runs
Please explain to me how higher temperatures that cause thinner air are going to cause there to be fewer home runs.
This is not blame, temperatures are rising and there are more home runs. facts not politics is what makes sense here. I have noticed when you really cannot back up your post you go to name calling.
YOU have no facts. only conjecture . . . look that word up, it's exactly what yore doing. however, you take what some politically motivated pundit shoves down your throat as "fact". that's why we laugh at you.
yore either a decent troll or one of the biggest dumbasses to post on this site. if the latter, you should consider washing the idiocy out with a bleach cocktail.
I have scientific evidence that the earth is warming. Do you have anything to counter that name caller. Fake fox news dont count because even their owner claims they lie and its only for entertainment.
No reasonable viewer could conclude that Maddow implied an assertion of objective fact,” the opinion penned by Judge Milan D. Smith added (read it here) of the suit OAN filed in the fall of 2020 with great flurry. “The judgment of the district court is therefore affirmed.”
Real scientists have proven it as fact . Why do you always turn to the political agenda on this. The earth is warmer and warming more all the time. You can stick your heads in the sand and not believer it but it is a scientific fact. Warmer and thinner air causes baseballs to travel farther.
post that scientific evidence that a single degree higher average global temperature over the past 100 years is the cause of more homeruns in MLB. how do you not see how stupid of an assumption that is?
you can stick yore head up a bull's ass to see what a t-bone looks like, but you'd be better off talking to the butcher. i stuck my head out the door this morning to 29 degree weather on easter morning . . . man, that 3 tenths of a degree increase in average temp since I was born sure is a bitch.
NO use arguing with Trumpsters . But I will give you another fact .The reason there are climate deniers and most of them are republicans is because big oil dont want to take any of the blame for it and they spend millions of dollars getting republicans elected to say it is a hoax . I will waste no more of my time on this subject because you are the ones who are brain washed.
you'll waste no time because when the real facts are presented, they don't align with what you've been spoonfed. every single time you get into a debate that you can't handle, you run like the little bitch ass sheep that you are.
"i'm not wasting no more of my time on this subject because
It's a fact the baseball flies farther in warm temps.
After investigating how temperature, humidity, and wind affect fly ball distances at numerous MLB stadiums, Kraft and Skeeter (1995) concluded that temperature “is the most important meteorological variable affecting fly ball distances for MLB as a whole.” That study also found that batted fly balls in cool temperatures (at most 50°F) travel on average 16 ft less compared to warm temperatures (at least 90°F). Kingsley (1980) investigated the influence of temperature on home run frequencies in Atlanta, Georgia, and found evidence that higher temperatures led to an increase in the number of home runs.

nobody's arguing otherwise, captain obvious.
1 degree in a hundred years has nothing to do with the increase in dingers.
Ha ha face the facts and admit you were wrong ..thank you for clarifying that Raoul.I rest my case.
Well, we know this is another lie. Every time you claim "I wont waste anymore time...." You simply reappear. You are a liar and a brainwashed idiot.
Hhaaaaa.
They ignore the fact there are roid players, bigger players now, and some ball parks are conducive to home runs, etc.
1 degree warmer and now every hitter is Hank Aaron or Babe Ruth.
Shorter fences also have played a huge role. Some of the old stadiums the wall was 500 feet. Now the corners are like 315-320 and center field usually a shade over 400. Health nutrition, work out programs etc are all light years ahead of the old nasty metal cooler and no gyms workouts of yesteryear.
There are alot more TDs in football as well. Is that cause of climate change too?

To what extent? That is, how much does temperature - by itself - impact fly balls? They can't say. Why? Because, like climate, there are too many variables to arrive at a valid, consensual conclusion.
They can say. They do say. Read the article.
Edit: and the hell is a “consensual conclusion”?
That's possible, but I know a guy that posts on occasion, and his HR stats were dismal, and all he got out the juicing was a shriveled up pecker.
And I am not arguing the OP's linked study is correct. I just found this a good time to drop a link to an odd study published by the AMS....as someone who enjoys the little things in baseball, I find it interesting.
Apparently 16' in hot weather vs cool. I don't think 1° really matters.
The study is very thorough in that they tracked actual batted balls against actual game temperatures, and the physics of what a ball does when it goes in the air based on the speed, trajectory, altitude, wind, temperature, etc are predictable.
If you want to argue over whether the 1 degree (Celsius, so 1.8 degrees F) is caused by this or that then at least that’s a little more confusing for you all. But you can’t really argue with the findings that a one degree decrease in temps would’ve resulted in about 50 fewer home runs, which is less than 1% of a decrease. Yes other factors impact HR totals more, but temperatures still impact it.

Ffs. The ultimate conclusion is that there is a 16 foot average difference in length in "cold" vs. "warm" temperatures. However, the study itself says there are numerous additional variables NOT taken into account, which was my point. Are you both morons, or are you just trying to argue?
Again, are you an idiot? Consensual - relating to or involving a consensus. That is, there is no consensus as to the ultimate findings because of the existence of numerous unaccounted for external variables.
sure we can. Over the same period, did the study calculate player strength conditioning improvements? PEDs? Field dimension changes? Ball manufacturing differences?
I have never heard that word used that way, but googling it I guess it sometimes is.
Other factors impacting something more don’t mean that the factor being studied didn’t impact something. If you collect enough data you can isolate the variable of interest and find the impact.
Did you ever change your mind on anything in your life Raleigh? If so then by your own definition you are a liar. So be careful what you say name caller.
No; I'm just talking baseball. Everyone knows atmospheric conditions affect the ball...temp, wind, altitude...it's just cool to point to an actual study on it.
The other big thing that doesn’t get talked about is spin. Batted ball spin information isn’t really collected for MLB, as far as I can tell, but from data collected at the college level it can add or subtract double digit feet to a fly ball. Topspin tends to subtract distance and what swing generates the most topspin? The uppercut that so many hitters are learning due to the launch angle obsession.
There's a lot of factors that come into play with more home runs, but none bigger than the shitty pitching. rifle will agree with me, but most of the pitchers are looking to throw the ball higher in the strike zone, and that means there's little margin of error to teeing one up for the batter. It's harder to hit a ball up in the zone for most, and it leads to more strike outs. They really need to go back to the days of Bob Gibson. You hit a home run off him, and chances were strong you weren't going to do it twice.
Biggest factor of all though, imo, is that players continue to get bigger and faster. They have more access to knowing everything they need to know about opposing pitchers. Look at college basketball. I can remember when I would see a brother making a dunk, it was a pretty big deal. Now days, even the 5' 8" brothers are dunking all the time. Even some white guys are getting okay at dunking now.
