Yea, I'm not sure the stats, but Comerica is still a pretty big park.

And Peavy's ERA is .94 on the road, so I don't think that's any factor with him. Young has been much better at home, so it's possible that it is a factor with him.

Indeed.

Maybe top three-five, but no way is the still the most pitcher friendly in the AL.

Peavy and Germano have been better on the road and at home. But, look at the ERA jumps for Young, Maddux, and Wells on the road versus at home.

Maddux: 3.48 to 4.42
Young: .82 to 3.33
Wells: 2.91 to 6.52

While its true that Comerica doesn't yeild many home runs, it still yeilds many runs. It is in the middle of the pack as far as scoring this year in the A.L. The Tigerslead the majors with 507 runs already this season. If Comerica was such a pitcher freindly park, they wouldnt have scored that many runs.

by the way, here are Verlander and Bonderman's ERA's at home vs. on the road.

Verlander home=3.67 Road=2.56

Bonderman home=3.25 road 3.80

The Comerica Park being a pitcher friendly park argument doesnt work with Verlander, as his road ERA is a full run lower than his home ERA, while Bonderman's is a little over a half run higher on the road, as opposed to Young's road era being 2.50 higher.

If anything, I think San Diego's park has more to do with Young's ERA being lower than Comerica Park has to do with Bonderman and Verlander's ERA's

Let's decide it in October, 1984 all over again.
