This is not correct. A team does not have direct control over the runs they score or the runs the other team scores. The easiest way to illustrate this is that a defensive team can simply purposefully walk batters to allow runs to score. the Offensive team has no direct control over that.

Clarify you position. Do you agree or disagree that spending is directly controlled and that revenues are indirectly controlled?
