My team has given up 71 homers in 46 games. that is not good at all. The thing is i'm wondering what your opinions areas to why this is happening. My team BAA is less than .250 but we can't seem to stop the long ball. Is it the ballpark?, my majority of hard throwing pitchers? blind luck? I'm kind of stumped. please share your thoughts and suggestions.

My guess is a combination of that and RNG. Updated Sunday, February 28 2016 @ 10:14:00 am PST

I see a lot of velocity and not much movement or control, that would definitely lead to alot of home runs. One of your guys has given up 17 HRs in only 46 innings. His 5 movement is killing you. That guy should probably be cut.

Couple that with all of the small parks in your current league and I believe that is why you've given up more HR's. Nothing wrong with fly-ball pitchers, you just need to tailor you park to suit your team. Maybe a ton of range in your outfield, a longer and taller fence? If you can't find rangy outfielders, then at least a taller outfield wall will knock those HR's down. On the other hand, you're not giving up a ton of runs yourself compared to the other clubs. Maybe an improved defense will keep those HR's from hurting you!
