Has nothing to do with bigger stronger baseball players causing faster off-bat exit velocities. Aaron Judge, Pete Alonso, Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber all look like power lifters.

Just goes to show you the limitless boundries of the "believers" stupidity and rejection of logic.

Is there anything climate change can't do?

A couple of weeks ago I was getting ready to go outside for the day I think it was the Today Show weatherman Roker started talking about it and I just started shaking my head I could not believe what I was hearing , but then again climate change is part of their vocabulary and it is slowly becoming know as climate crisis .

I read the article and warm days in an open stadium compares to a warm closed domed stadium. Cold temps limit how far the ball can be hit. Yes, they do say the numbers are small, but with more ways to get data on everything, this is what they came up with. It is no different that hitting golf balls. They hit better on warm days than cold days. Bringing "climate change" into the discussion just gets peoples attention, even on a tractor thread.

A strong country boy should be able to throw a bale of hay 500 ft , climate change might have its advantages in the hay field .
I just learned pollen season starts 20 days earler thanks to climate change.

Reduce taxes…

Yes, only if that same country boy could throw that same bale 450 ft on a cold day.

Whelp, you got me there.

I hope that you are not drinking Bud Light ?

That's why it's JMHO. I don't drink beer. Poor Bud Light. They must have done something really horrendous. There certainly is an almighty fuss being made.

 

[tacticalturnip]

I look at it like this, it's hard to boycott something I wasn't buying to begin with. I haven't purchased Bud Light since I could make that purchase legally.

I'm confused by the skepticism displayed here. Drag on a ball can be easily predicted as:

D = 1/2(rho)(C_d)(A)(V)^2.

rho = air density
C_d = drag coefficient (constant value for a baseball at a constant exit velocity)
A = projected area (constant for a baseball)
V = velocity of baseball

It is well known that air density decreases with increasing temperature and humidity.

So, for the same exit velocity off the bat, if the temperature is higher, air density decreases, drag decreases, and the ball travels farther.

 

[RidgeTopWVA]

Ok
