July 9, 200421 yr If you get a chance to, go check out esteban, mark, jon, and scott's away eras,,,they are fantastic estaban has a freakin 2.98 away era and a home era of over 6 on a side note US cell is giving up 3.2 home runs a game
July 10, 200421 yr The pitching at home sucks for one reason and one reason alone: SOX PARK IS THE COORS FIELD OF THE MIDWEST!!!! If you hit a ball in the air to left or right,depending on how the wind swirls,put your head between your ass and kiss it goodbye. Sometimes the wind takes a ball over the wall,sometimes it holds the ball up long enough for an outfielder to make a play.This is a softball team offensively.They always seem to be swinging for the 3 run homer with no runners on base. Just an observation. :fthecubs
July 10, 200421 yr The park is a factor, but it seems like matchups play a role too. Their road opponents for the year are 3 at KC, 4 at New York when they weren't hitting, 3 at Tampa, Baltimore, Toronto, Cleveland, 4 at Minnesota, 2 at Oakland, 3 at Seattle, 3 at Florida and Montreal, and 3 at Minnesota and the Cubs. They have many of the same matchups at home, but add Texas, Anaheim, Philly, and Atlanta. Those are some powerful offensive teams that appear on their home schedule thus far and not their road schedule. That's 84 runs in 11 games. Ouch.
