Possible explanations for the 2011 offensive spike so far
- Small sample size.
- Early games being played in more hitter-friendly parks.
- Quality of pitching hasn't been as good with some key guys on the DL.
- Change in batter and/or pitcher approach.
- Change in equipment.

Man, 92 degrees already?
It’s still a bit cold here in Georgia.
I wish it were 92. That’s some BBQ weather.
