There are obviously a ton of variables to account for in comparing the team's home and away performance this year and last but I will do my best.
So the obvious stats:
2013 Home: 310 R 88 HR .239 BA .387 SLG
2013 Away: 314 R 100 HR .235 BA .392 SLG
2012 Home: 257 R 56 HR .220 BA .331 SLG
2012 Away: 362 R 93 HR .247 BA .403 SLG
When you compare the two splits the biggest thing that sticks out to me is that the Mariners difference in performance really began to thin.
Could it be that it was just the addition of Morales, Ibanez, Morse and Bay? Or maybe that moving in the fences just had an impact on the psyche of Mariners players?
Well here is a look at the performance of opposing hitters against Mariners pitchers:
2013 Home: 376 R 82 HR .254 BA .403 SLG 4.18 ERA
2013 Away: 378 R 92 HR .265 BA .431 SLG 4.47 ERA
2012 Home: 260 R 60 HR .229 BA .338 SLG 2.97 ERA
2012 Away: 391 R 106 HR .266 BA .449 SLG 4.59 ERA
Huge difference in the pitching performance by Mariners pitchers at home. You could explain that by a change in pitching staff but as you can see the road performance is relatively similar to what it was in 2012.
So it appears as if moving in the fences did have a positive impact on our offensive performance but appears to have had an even bigger negative impact on our pitchers.
