I think a lot of the problem is that the hitters trained on the ABS system are falling behind in the count because pitches that are outside the strike zone are being called strikes. Having a count go 1-1 instead of 2-0 is huge for a hitter. -
I've certainly seen a LOT of called strike threes taken on balls in the middle of the plate, which is perplexing. Sure, you can be looking fastball and be frozen by a breaking ball, but with two strikes you just can't do it. Once again this is just eye test, general impression, but it sure seems to happen to us too much lately. -

In the beginning of the year the team had the best hitting team in baseball but were never walking and near the bottom. There was lots of complaining about how they don’t walk enough to be a better lineup. The second half of the year they are near the top of the league in walks and there hitting has fallen off. You would think with more walks and taking pitches they would be hitting better. Are they walking to much and not being aggressive like they were earlier in the year? -

I agree with all that you wrote, I was just surprised so few teams go past 45K. -
The capacity situation is affected by 3 trends, I believes: -- newer stadiums being built tend to have fewer have fewer seats (and OPACY is now one of the 10 oldest ballparks in the major leagues) -- stadiummodifications usually result in capacity going down: for bigger playing field (like Baltimore), or for more club/luxury seating or entertainment areas replacing denser regular seating areas) -- some teams just deciding never to sell some seats so I guess they no longer count in capacity (like that entire top deck in the outfield in Oakland). I mean, I'm sure they could FIT way more than 25K humans comfortably in the Trop, they obviously have some seating areas they just bother to print tickets for and sell because they know they'll never sell them, so I guess that doesn't count in capacity. Now at Oriole Park they only sell the LF upper deck seats these days when a big crowd is expected... but those seats still count towards capacity even in games where they choose not to make them available.

It wasn't an impressive list before Elias traded some away.
