I left work early yesterday and caught about three minutes of Murph by accident. He had someone from the Hoosier Bat Company explaining why Maple bats shatter. Basically, it’s due to the low moisture content (which results in the bat being more brittle) to make weight. This was far too complicated for Murph’s listeners to understand so he had to draw a comparison to building a fire with wet wood vs. dry wood and that wet wood means more smoke. WTF? I want those three minutes back.

I’m sure Murph knows a thing or two about smoking wet wood. He should have compared it to when he’s handling Mike North flaccid vs. when he’s a full three inches.
