[QUOTE="flyfishingfrog, post: 3010936, member: 70903"] You just gave a bunch of history we all knew- Given all the guys on here that live for baseball stats or make a living understanding them at least - I was just hoping someone had watched them this year or had some insight into if the about 20% higher total HRs and runs they scored this year over normal was because they had stepped up in ability or if it was because the average quality of pitching was lower given that - as you said - they did face the midweek guy from every team in their league For example - if more than 25% of their homeruns and runs came from the #4 starter - that would seem to indicate that it was poor pitching, not better hitting. or do the home vs away metrics show a big difference like K State or Techs numbers show this year - DBU in the past has hit almost 2/3rds of their HRs at home even though they only play slightly more than 50% of their games at home. But this year I think they played something near 40 home games of the slightly over 50 games they have played. If their normal trend of hitting a higher than average number of their HR's at home vs on the road continued - that would again say that maybe they are not really hitting HR's at a higher rate than other years - they just playing an extra 12-13 home games this year over normal years. You gave me a "they are a blue collar, lunch pail kind of team every year and can beat you if you don't show up to play" kind of answer. Sorry to hurt your feelings but your response basically made me originally think "well no [ Finebaum ]" [/QUOTE]
