Post by James SidburyPost by Joe SchmoePost by Tomasz RadkoNo, really, what has he done?
The Braves batters have been exhibiting a strong prejudice against most
of their own pitchers lately. If only they could muster some similar
bias against opposing pitchers, we might not be experiencing this
sinking feeling.
Apparently it's not just Hanson.
Now the Braves are 11 under on the road and 30 over at home. That's a
differential of 41. Is there an easy way to find out if this is some
kind of record?
A semi easy way is to ask here and let me juggle with bb-ref for a
minute. Here are all teams that equal or better that mark:

I could have guessed the '87 Twins, in the Horrible Dome. I'd have
never come up with the Philadelphia A's, as I'm not that knowledgable
about the history of baseball.
