Are torpedo bats DESTROYING baseball?! In this explosive video, we’re raging about the New York Yankees’ latest trick: these Frankensteinian “torpedo bats” that turned them into a home run machine—9 in ONE game against the Brewers! We’re calling BS 💩 on MLB for letting this bush league scam slide, all while the spirit of the game gets torched. Hear why Brewers pitcher Trevor McGill calls it “terrible” yet “genius,” and how Dave Portnoy’s all-caps X rant nails it: these MIT-engineered bats are juicing sweet spots to save Anthony Volpe’s weak swing. Michael Kay spills the analytics tea, but is this competition or just cheating? We’re fired up.
