  1. “Deadening” the baseball for 2021 actually means returning to normal baseball from an ill-advised, but fortunately short juiced ball era brought about by the master of bad decisions, Manfred. I’m all for it. Let’s play real baseball again, instead of home run derby. Let’s emphasize contact hitting and reduce strikeouts. Our pitching staff is going to blow people away. And Mookie is going to manufacture runs. Seager will continue to hit to all parts of the field nullifying the shift. Returning to normal baseball helps the most talented team in baseball, the Dodgers.
