Rogers Centre - Most HR/game of any park in baseball

Rogers Centre on http://www.hittrackeronline.com/stadiums.php

 

2012: 204 HR in 81 games = 2.52/game

2013: 166 HR in 56 games = 2.96/game

 

It was already bad. Now it's worse.

 

Orioles Park and Rogers Centre have by FAR the most HR/game of any park in baseball.

Should they move the fences back a bit? Can they??? Is the enough room for the dugouts without major renovations?

They could probably move the fences back all the way to the stands instead of leaving the 15 ft gap between the wall and the seats. Not sure what would happen to the bull pens though.

I don't see how having a hitters park necessarily favours any side. Fenway is a great park to hit in, and Boston dominates at home most years.

It's nearly impossible to say. Are the A's pitchers so good because of talent, or because of the confidence they gain playing in a park that massively favors the pitchers?

It would be fine if we had good HR hitters (which we do) AND a starting staff that gave up preferentially ground balls over fly balls (which we don't).

 

But this starting staff combined with this park is an ugly combination this year.

Prolly has something to do with our s***** pitching staff
