BPHR's

[pigheaven]

First of all, I think its very cool of the veterans to give their guidance to us rooks. Thanks for your help!! Now I want to see if I have a good take on BPHR's for pitchers and hitters.

1) BPHR's on hitters cards in a pitcher's park like RFK is bad because their chance of getting such a low roll isn't good, but in hitters parks, they aren't that bad.
2)on pitchers cards in pitchers parks they are bad because if the roll is higher than the ballpark rating it's a home run. So a guy like Carlos Villanueva, who I just noticed has like 6 BPHR's would be awful in RFK, but not so bad in hitters' parks.

Am I on point or way off? Oh by the way, Adam Dunn blows!!!! He's hitting like .190 for me. SWEEEET!! This is a blast! Thanks again for all of your help. 8-)

Your right on 1, but you've got 2 a little backwards.

If you have a pitcher with High BPHR numbers pitching in a pitchers park like RFK, it's not that bad. If the roll hits one of the HR numbers, there's only a 15% chance that a HR will be hit and an 85% chance it's an out. Using the ball park numbers of 1-3 for Home runs. The 1-3 is out of 20 chnaces. In the board game HR rolls are determined by rolling a 20 sided die, if you roll higher than the numbers in this case 4-20 it's a flyball out, but if youn roll the range it's a HR.

Now the same pitcher pitching in White Sox home park ( I forget the corporate name for it) with HR numbers 1-19, on the same roll has a 95% chance of a HR being hit vs a 5% chance of an out.

Therefore pitchers with high BPHR, are better suited to playing in parks with low BPHR numbers like RFK, this of course is assuming that the pitcher is a decent pitcher otherwise of course.
