The grain of the maple bats isn't as tight as that of the ash bats.

Hence, more breakage.

Here is a quote from Louisville Slugger's website in a Q&A section regarding the emerald ash borer.

"At this point there has been no impact on the bat industry or MLB.  The insect has not reached the area along the Pennsylvania/New York border where Louisville Slugger harvests trees to make baseball bats.  However, there is reason for serious concern.  The EAB was discovered in western Pennsylvania in the summer of 2007.  At the current rate of progression, the insect very well could impact the forests where timber for bats comes from within a few years, if not sooner.

Louisville Slugger’s timber division is working closely with the USDA and the state department of agriculture in Pennsylvania and other states to monitor the situation as these government agencies try to stop the emerald ash borers spread."

The maple bats are going to kill or permantly injure someone. I forget who it was but a guy already had a lung punctured by one.

We've had this discussion.    They can say what they want.    Maple is more expensive than Ash.

Are you thinking of Steve Yeager Dodgers catcher that took bat shrapnel to the throat ?

Cubs outfielder Tyler Colvin was impaled as he ran home from third base.

Are you suggesting that Louisville Slugger is trying to sell an inferior product at an inflated price? Even after admitting that there is plenty of ash to go around at the moment?

My guess is some toolbox like Rudy Jaramillo decided to tell sluggers that they could hit more homers with a maple bat. The stupid jocks bought into the hype and here we are now.

Carpenter did a great job . let's hope the bullpen keeps it up . GO CARDS !
