David Price and Mike Trout had a funny Twitter exchange on Tuesday over MLB’s “juiced” ball.
A report this week said that MLB would be slightly deadening the ball for the upcoming season. Price noted that MLB deadening the ball confirms the ball has been juiced. He is pleased the league is attempting to go back to the “regular” ball.
Did I see MLB is “slightly” deadening the baseball?! I thought MLB said it hadn’t been juiced? lol pitchers knew all along!! Baseballs had a different feel and a different sound. Happy to see they’re attempting to go back to the regular baseball…

Trout saw Price’s tweet and replied with some eye-rolling emojis and laughing emojis. Price joked back that he thought Trout would be fine even with a slightly deadened ball.
lol I think you’ll still be alright!

Several notable pitchers complained in 2019 about there being a juiced ball. Unsurprisingly, MLB shot down the talk of the juiced ball.
This new report seems to vindicate everyone who said the ball was juiced.
