OK, use BBs in 2007. Leader, Boston, 689. MLB average 536. Variance "only" 28%. Would you expect more or less? Do you park adjust it?

Sac Flies: 65, 47, 38%

Strikeouts: 1332, 1073, 24%

Caught stealing: 55, 33, 67%

Errors: 137, 100, 37%

So, a 28% variance does not look like something one would sit up and take notice of, and start searching for ways to park-adjust it, although I have stated that I agree with you that it is almost certainly, to some extent, attributable to the ballpark. Things that can be conspicuously park-adjusted , I would expect a wider variance than that. So I said "only".

Since this is the only point you seem to want to quarrel with, I assume we are largely in agreement on much of the rest of my offering?
