Saw this link from St. Louis, talking about whether the Cards are "too homer dependent." Thought it was an interesting study, for any baseball fan.
But it's even more interesting for a Reds fan. Any guess as to where the Reds fall on the list of homer-dependency (that is to say, what percentage of runs are scored as a result of the longball)?
Certainly the ballpark factors play into this, as much as the kinds of hitters a team has. But check it out. Discuss. That's what we do to fill the time during late August non-contending years.
Sigh.
