		However, while pitching is not the primary determinant of, it is still unusual for a team to win consistently without it.
		Therefore, team pitching performance should also vary more from year to year than team hitting, i.e., a team's pitching performance in a given year reflects luck and randomness to a greater extent than a team's hitting.
		In fact, one of the reasons I expect that the crummy pitching teams maintained their success so well is that pitching problems are easier to fix than hitting problems.

	Baseball Prospectus \| Articles \| Aim For The Head: Hit-by-Pitch Rates
		If the A's HBP totals were solely due to seeing more pitches per plate appearance (and teams otherwise had no ability to induce more HBP), we should see a relationship between the HBP rate (HBP per PA) and the number of pitches seen per PA (NP per PA).
		We have examples of teams that see a lot of pitches, and get hit a lot (which happens to be Oakland), but we also have teams that see even more pitches, and are among the lowest teams in the rate at which they get hit (San Diego).
		There's a bit of a complicating factor in that getting hit by a pitch directly increases OBP, and yields another PA in which a batter could be hit.
