Monday, June 17th

Well, Happy Monday, I think. I’m going to open up with some Deep Thoughts With Cheese centered around some home run numbers I was digging through this weekend. I want to start by saying that none of this research is very scientific at all, and it is only looking at one side of the coin, when the other side may actually be the more important side. I simply wanted to first confirm that home runs are indeed still trending up as the season moves on, and then take a basic look at if certain teams are allowing more of of those home runs. This is just a look at the pitching side, and of course, the hitters themselves have the most say in the matter, but we’ll loop back to that another day.
