Re: Home Park Effects
Now that we're through April and May, I thought this might be a good time to update our snapshot of what effect the new park is having on our pitching and hitting.
Some of the extreme splits (like the home vs. road ERA) are a bit less pronounced, but Black Sox Park still looks like a very pitcher-friendly stadium - the Sox are allowing about 1 run less per nine innings at home than they do on the road. Our hitters definitely seem to be adjusting a bit to the home environs, though. The difference between our home and road numbers is much less striking with the larger sample size.
One thing this does point out is that our offense, in general, could use an upgrade. The home/road/overall numbers are not too impressive.
Again, here are a few tables that break things down:
