That's weird I actually found this aspect to be excellent. When I am at home down by 1 the crowd is louder and boos a close strike call much louder than they boo it in the 1st or middle innings and if I'm ahead in the count they start to get louder in anticipation. Same in reverse when I'm on the road.
It happened to me one time like you said but I was in Houston near the end of the year where they were like 30 games back and the stadium was empty.
