Homers are down and no-hitters are up, duh! http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/NL/pitch.shtml http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL/pitch.shtml lowest runs allowed by NL and AL pitchers since 1992. so yes, relative to where we've been the past 15 or 20 years, it's a pitcher's year. It's kind of funny. Comparing this year to pre-1992 baseball, this year would be considered a down year for pitchers. It definitely seems 'roids have helped hitters more than pitchers.
