I can't understand why my team gives up so many home runs.
I understand that my home park helps lefties but when you look through my staff, they've given up nearly a 50% share of home runs on the road. Only Zack Kelley has really had more trouble on the home mound than the road mound.
So it's not really just ballpark. It's the pitchers. But even the ones that have good movement and ground ball tendencies have given up a large number of long balls. TJ Davis is on pace to give up over 20. Reyna is nearly there. Smith is going to touch that mark too. All three are ground ball pitchers.
I don't expect to not give up home runs but we are, by a wide margin, the league leaders in home runs allowed.
Whatever it is is over my head.
edit: Eh, you know what, I looked at Loew, Rozak, Kelley and subtracted their home runs allowed and I would end up middle of the pack. So the fly ball power relievers have really been the problem. Problem solved.
