Well, I have already chronicled what a bitter disappointment the Bullpen System has been this season, currently sitting at 95-115, -13.89 units YTD. However, as Buddy Bear correctly theorized, the main reason the system has failed is that home teams are kicking ass this season, and the nice big road underdog hits that fueled this system the last three years just have not been happening.
Well, you may be happy to know that I have broken down the plays this year down to home and away, and the results are amazing to say the least:
Need I say more? Yes, playing home qualifying plays only has yielded far fewer plays, but when they do occur, they have been as solid as the last three years.
Conclusion: Instead of scrapping BPS completely, maybe play the home qualifiers only until road teams show signs of a pulse this year.
That said, take a long look at the Phillies, Dodgers and Braves tonight.
