Not if you call them strikes.

Not sure what all the hoop la is all about. The bat standards are attempting to make the metal bat respond like a wood bat. If someone thinks they have become less effective than the wood then by all means use wood... Surely you do not want the batter to have a substantial edge on the pitchers do you? Its actually nice to think that the possibility of low scoring games and pitching inside may return to amateur baseball.

Count me as being in favor of the new bat standards and also pardon my pause as I call my accountant to instruct him to buy some more metal bat company stock..
