What is your definition of "much larger"?
Much larger in Right Field? yes. But of our top 7 Homerun hitters, 5 of them are righthanded, making left field the easier field to hit out of.

Also, Georgia is 4th in the nation in batting average with a.326 BA while Texas is #46 with a .298 BA. Typically larger ballparks favor a team with higher BA.

All that said, Texas has a better pitching staff ranked #13 in ERA at 4.08 ERA, while Georgia is #58 at 4.92ERA.

I'm not arguing Georgia will beat Texas..that's anybody's guess. What I am saying is our offense does not dry up and blow away from a lack of homeruns.

5 of our top 7 homerun hitters are right handed. If you know anything at all about baseball, you know a right handed hitter gets most of his power when he pulls the ball, not when he goes opposite field. I mean, why say the ballpark is much smaller when in fact is one area of the ballpark and the other areas are either much larger or practically the same? Or are players only allowed to hit the ball to one area?

If you have pitched at all you would also know if the rightfield fence is short, then you keep the ball on the inside of the plate to a right handed hitter and he can't hit the opposite way with any power at all.
