“The MLB has a very big problem with the baseballs — they are bad,” Bassitt said after his team’s 3-0 victory over the Cardinals. “Everyone knows it. Every pitcher in the league knows it. MLB doesn’t give a damn about it. They don’t care. We have told them our problems with them, they don’t care.”
Bassitt said there is too much inconsistency among the baseballs being used this season, and the problem is exacerbated in different climates.
“There is no common ground with the balls,” he said. “There is nothing the same, outing to outing.”

Are they still made here? By Robots now? Or made in China? Were they ever consistent? So many questions!
