1. Pete Rose belongs in the hall of fame

2. Stop making Stuff up.

3. They should allow pitchers the sticky stuff

4. The bats are not new, they have been around for awhile since 2022 or 2023, were used last year by a guy or two and legal and wothing regulations.

5. Hitters struggle. No one wants to watch the game. Hitters find a way to stop struggling that is legal. League wants to ban it.

6. “baseball, huh?”

7. That will not happen

8. I would say don't ban them, the batter still has to hit the ball and when pitchers are throwing heat, it makes sense if someone dings it for home run with the bat since the batter still has to make contact, even then, unless there is some special compound mixed into the wood other than that solid wood for solid hits.

9. Theyre not getting banned, theyre just gon a be used by everyone. "If everyones super, no one is"

10. You still have to be able to hit the ball. The Pirates couldn’t hit a ball out of the infield with aluminum bats.

11. Just provide one special bat from MLB, so MLB players cannot use bats other than the bats provided by MLB. Case closed.

12. If your gonna use this rule to go after the bats than after the dodgers too like damn

13. I think it is fine to have them. Yes, I am a Yankees fan, but if you bat differently get a different bat. That is really all this is.

14. How is it unfair if anyone can use the bats?

15. NEW Manfred Rule: They can only be used by a pinch hitter in extra innings with no men on base.

16. Lets face it the best era was steroids. Either keep the bats or make steroid baseball great again.

17. Banging on trash cans was unfair, but so long as everyone can get the torpedo bats, where is the unfair act?

18. Lies

19. The physics behind what makes the torpedo bats useful is very similar to why people would choke up. I really don't understand why people have been making such a big deal about them. I feel like most of the people talking about them just saw the Yankees put up 20 runs in a game and don't even know what's different about the bats.

20. I don't understand what the problem is. Anyone can use these bats.

21. Pro sports love offense. High offensive output makes sports leauges more money. The bats can be used by all teams. If the bats are more productive for batting and a team decideds to handicap themselves by not using them, it doesnt make them an unfair advantage. It would be like a team not using gloves, then claiming that the other team using globes had an unfair advantage.

22. Last year nobody cared about baseball and now there is more scoring and these new bats are making waves everyone wants to see what up. I say keep em

23. Those bats don't threaten the game

24. I like seeing Homer's makes the game more exciting

25. These in no way interfere with baseball integrity it is simply a different type of bat for hitters who tend to struggle with traditional barrel contact points, instead regularly contact the ball closer to hands.

    MLB will not ban these bats because they meet all MLB bat specs, but also because the MLB under Manfred is always desperate for more offense!!! Aka the ever changing and juiced baseball types that fly further all by his design. (There is a reason I think something like 6/10 of the most overall HR’s in a season happened in 2019. LOL)

26. If these bats somehow ruin the integrity of the game, then why wouldn’t letting pitchers go to the pitching lab ruin the integrity of the game? If they get rid of them, it would be stupid, more offense is a good thing for the spectator
