As you, I and the guy down street know by using 1987 stats, we should be seeing outlier power increases across the board with more than likely increased scoring all around, not just your team.
I know it's only a very small sample size you have shown with pitcher snapshots but it looks like the best ones you have shown have maintained and there could be several reasons for that. Your pitchers have shown ERA increases, which I would hazard to guess are roughly a .5 run ERA increase over their norm (perhaps a tad more). I am going off of memory here. I really should have been keeping track of the other random pitchers as we have gone through this year. No matter though because the sample size is so small as to tell us very little.
Don't dig too deep right now. Just grab a few tidbits as you have time. I would wait until after the season is over to get the full picture. I just think with the outlier seasons it is interesting to take a look at the effects.
Thanks for your time man, have a good day! |
Good question.
When I'm in front of the game tonight I'll give a more complete answer but my sense is that HR's are definitely up around the league and at least one, and possibly a few, players are on pace to break the WPK single season HR record.
But yes, unfortunately, that has not translated to the Brewers yet.
My sense is that we are likely among the league leading teams in doubles and triples, but again I'll have to double check that. But given that we rank at or near the top in most categories other than HR's (and, oddly, stolen bases) I think it's likely that our extra base hits that don't leave the yard are pretty high in comparison to other teams. And we continue to hover around .300 for team batting average.
But definitely more specifics later.
