If these are bats on steroids, no. A little more study needs to be done, but, if the outcome is an explosion of runs in the MLB….don’t need a carnival attraction. Yeah, long ball cool. But if you’re going to ban uses of steroids for the supposed advantage, let’s ban these. Nothing like enjoying a 21-4 game, huh?

Should the Show include them? Don’t we get enough bugs and glitches every year? 100% no.

The bats are legal so I see no reason why they wouldn't get put in the game

The overreactions to cutting a piece of wood marginally different than what we are used to is wild

I would assume the sample size of information/stats with these bats would be too small to implement in the game properly.

This. Plus, the jury is still out.

So is the overreaction because the Yankees scored all those runs lol. Royals put 11 on them too. Brewers pitching just isn’t good right now.

They've been in the league for a couple years not sure why everyone suddenly cares.

If they are, they aren’t going to put these in the game to have any actual impact. It’s going to be like the Axe handles, it’s just going to be a visual bat option.

Also interested to see what comes out of it in actual baseball, but I think the Yankee series against the horrible Brewers pitching made it a bigger deal than it should be. People were using the bats last year and nobody noticed. Several players were using them this year already in spring and early in the year and nobody noticed until the Yankees big HR game. It’s not going to be a big deal or a huge advantage outside of making some better contact on certain pitches.

It is cool from a tech advancements for bats. Other than the Axe handle, we haven’t seen it since they made the move to maple bats 30 years ago.

Yeah, I'd say the Brewers torpedoed themselves as much as anything.
