We are on pace for about 55-60 HRs. About what PM and many here expected.

so, more home runs ...but less home runs with runners on?

My guess is that many HRs would be doubles anyway. So the only run you lose there is the batter.

This just means less bunting. I don't like it.

Guess we really haven't seen the lack of run impact because our offense is ridiculously good this year. 5% seems like nothing (which well, it kinda is).
Our run production is up from 6.25 to 7.45 runs per game which is almost a 20% increase

It's just nice to watch real baseball where your not bunting everytime you get a runner on with less than 2 outs.
More hits are getting in the gaps too which makes for more doubles and triples.

Posted on 4/1/15 at 12:56 pm to ell_13
Surprised the runs per game isn't a higher %. Any thoughts on why that is?

Honestly the % increases probably arent statistically significant. There are so many other things that could affect those numbers by those small percentages...
Runs up 5%... Maybe there were more games played in the south this year where it was warmer.
Batting average up 0.37%... Really? That is nothing. Zero significance.
The 39% homeruns is the only significant number, but is it really? Weren't homeruns down to like .5 per game? So congrats on the .7 homeruns per game now! Super improvement.
LSU fans act like the balls are so much better because our batters are much better. That's the only reason.
Personally I think they still need to go back to the bats of a few years ago.

Let's use big numbers as an example then... say it goes 1000 HRs to 1390 HRs.
See what I did there?

I'm using numbers that people can understand... Do you think .7 homeruns is good for the sport? Simple question. If so, then the balls did their job.
In the Majors they hit 1.7 homeruns per game. That is a reasonable expectation IMO for parks that are a lot smaller than MLB parks (on average).
