Zorro's comments make me wonder if there could be a hidden batter rating vs individual pitches. I doubt it, but it's not outside the realm of possibility.

Yes, I agree with you about a separate home field advantage no matter how we set the parks up. What I meant about the pitches were meant for the pitchers not the hitters. Joe Hart and I talked about this and then I noticed how a batter would hit the hell out of a pitch by the pitcher that was rated low. Here is just a example of what I meant, Say Pedro had a bad pitch a curveball that was rated 15 , In the game someone might hit that curveball out of the park. I would start looking at the pitchers card after the pbp would say that fastball was crushed or that slider was crushed ete. I noticed that the pitcher would have a low number for that pitch. It might have been a coincidence but I would notice this happened quite a Bit. Only Markus would be able to tell us if that is true but I would think those numbers mean something?
