I disagree as I am not the one arguing something that most baseball fans have known since the mid-90s(weather effects). I was asking for something you guys werent ready for I guess. Fangraphs hasnt done the legwork for you yet. I was asking for opinions but got nothing so its time to move on.
It would be reasonable IF all post season games played had considerably different weather than the regular season. The weather explanation doesnt work when runs drop from 2-3 runs a game and the weather drops 5 degrees. Too many variables at this point to dig deeper.
