The regular HR and inside the parker should obviously be the same.  But, since this is empirical, this means that there were more runners on base when the inside the parker was hit.  Triple play looks wrong.  This could only happen with, at worst, men on 1b, 2b, 0 outs.  The run value there should be around 1.5 to 1.6 (unless the TP happened in a pitcher’s park or something).  In any case, you get a good feel for how things work.
