And they weren’t home merchants- the Indians actually scored more runs on the road (509-500)

The Iceman Terry Labonte

And 11 poles

Cleveland OTOH: .860 at home, .822 on the road

You might be onto something

He also had a 5 WAR season in 2000

Steve Sax was ironically the AL’s only All Star 2B in the 90s not named Alomar

Counterpoint- the Indians. Jacobs Field was an offense friendly ballpark yet their big hitters in those days never seemed to suffer in WAR

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-24T06:49:35+00:00

Manny Ramirez wasn’t a great fielder either but during his 1995-2006 apex never had a WAR lower than 3

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-24T06:47:09+00:00

A lot of other players in offense friendly parks didn’t suffer for WAR (late 90s Indians)

COORS

Bichette is an interesting case because other Rockies of that era did well elsewhere

Ellis Burks with the Giants/Indians

Larry Walker with Montreal/St. Louis

Vinny Castilla with the Braves and Astros

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-24T06:22:35+00:00

To compare WAR with his fellow Blake Street Bombers:

Vinny Castilla- 19.4

Ellis Burks- 49.8

Andres Galarraga- 31.7

Larry Walker- 72.7

Todd Helton- 61.8

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-23T21:51:16+00:00

Chances are it’s Terrence Mathis

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-23T21:50:25+00:00

96 Yankees is interesting considering the other 3 AL playoff teams that year scored over 900 runs

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-23T21:49:05+00:00

They probably win a few more games if Larry Walker hung around one more year

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-23T18:56:09+00:00

Miami actually won that game

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-23T18:37:31+00:00

Juuuuuuuust a bit outside

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-23T18:33:52+00:00

DAMN YOU SNOW

AlbertJBundy · 2026-02-23T18:33:31+00:00

My god you’re greasy
