As controversy and theories about the historic home run numbers this season heat up during the All-Star festivities, everyone is weighing in.

Tigers ace Justin Verlander accused MLB of juicing the balls in order to increase power, calling it “a f–king joke.” Yankees hurler CC Sabathia and Blue Jays pitcher Marcus Stroman mentioned the different feel of the baseballs, with commissioner Rob Manfred going on the defensive.

Former Mets and Yankees slugger Darryl Strawberry has his own diagnosis on the changing game.

“I wouldn’t know, because I’m not hitting,” Strawberry said on Fox Business on Tuesday. “But I can tell you one thing – I think the ballparks are a little smaller than they used to be and I think the guys are a lot stronger. I don’t really think they’re juicing the baseball but like I said before I really couldn’t tell because I am not facing any pitches. I think pitching is not what it used to be, and guys get a better chance to hit home runs when your pitching is not as good as it used to be.”

Strawberry, who slugged 335 home runs in his 17-year MLB career, pointed to the lack of rotational depth in today’s game.

“What I mean by that, you have a No. 1 and No. 2 starter,” Strawberry said. “I think back in the days when I was playing, you had a rotation of five guys that were pretty good, that could be a No. 1 starter. I think when you get to the No. 3 and No. 4, 5 in the rotation, it’s not as good, and I don’t think bullpens are really good. You had guys coming out of the bullpen that could really close hitters down, but I don’t see a lot of that and like I said before, I really think the ballparks are smaller than they used to be.”

Red Sox All-Star J.D. Martinez echoed Strawberry’s theory on Monday, pointing to a change in pitching approach.

“It’s a power-arm league,” Martinez told ESPN. “It’s either a walk or a strikeout – stuff over command. I think you see a lot more mistakes over the plate. The velocity, the guys trying to hit the ball in the air – I think it’s a recipe for home runs.”
