The Yankees had an MIT physicist design a "torpedo" bat for them and they've now hit 15 homers in 3 games

Thursday, on Opening Day, the Yankees hit two home runs against the Brewers in a 4-2 victory. Saturday, in the second game of the series, they hit nine homers in a 20-9 walloping of the Brew Crew, three of them coming on the first three Brewers' pitches.

Sunday, they hit four more, tying the record for most home runs hit in the first three games of a season (15).

And sure, they were playing the Brewers, but you gotta think something is going on here, right?

Well..

Yes, they redesigned the bat to put more wood where the bat makes contact with the ball.

And it's completely legal!

But of course people are whining about it -- it's the Yankees, so why wouldn't they?

Even Dave Portnoy got in on the action (wearing a Red Sox hat, of course).

"Unbiased rant"!!

🤣🤣🤣

To be fair, it's Portnoy's Barstool Sports up there mocking fans for crying about the bats.

So fans are going to be mad at these bats because it's the Yankees, other teams will then adjust their bats to match the greatness of these new "torpedo bats" -- turning baseball into a much more entertaining sport -- and then in about ten months we'll have a ban on the bats.

It'll be fun while it lasts!

Also, I thought these were hilarious, so I'm leaving them here for you:
