A couple of Rockies fans got on me on Twitter because I pointed out the egregious home/road splits up and down the Rockies lineup. Charlie Blackmon has a ~.980 OPS at home and a ~.550 OPS on the road. This stadium is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I put no stock in anything that happens in this series (except Joe Blanton blowing goats, that happens anywhere). Coors Field is an abomination. But this is still cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just throw everything that happens at Coors regarding your pitching out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Batting "Champ," DJ LeMahieu 2016 home split: .391/.473/.591/1.064 Batting "Champ," DJ LeMahieu 2016 road split: .303/.353/.395/.747 Charlie Blackmon this year home split: .386/.417/.977/1.394 Charlie Blackmon this year road split: .175/.233/.275/.508 CarGo home: .314/.381/.514/.895 CarGo Road: .132/.154/.211/.364 Ironically, Nolan Arenado--a good player made great by Coors Field--has inverse splits--better on the road. Those will even out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm not worried about Ross. The weather and conditions were junk. The BP is not going to stop being a major concern unless some moves are made. So, unless they think AJ Cole could be a reliever (maybe?). Rizzo shouldn't be waiting to make moves IMO. Outside of Robles and Fedde. I'm open minded. Stevenson, Soto, Voth. Even Kieboom. Need much better pitching from the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I just ran across a stat that baffled me concerning division rival Freddy Freeman. For the most part, his stat line is amazing so far - .381 average, .810 slugging, 24 hits in 18 games7 homers, 4 doubles. But here's the weird thing. Given all that production at the plate, he only has 9 RBIs! So since 7 of those are himself on homers, he's only driven in 2 guys other than himself. He must NEVER hit with men on base.

Not bad company to keep, even if it took place at Coors field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Braves have an atrocious batting line-up. ATROCIOUS. Freeman might get more IBB this year than anyone in MLB history because the batter before and after him are bad.

Is there anything they can do with the current stadium? I mean, if they built a new one, you could do some physics and figure out dimensions that would roughly equate to the same size as a field at sea level (pick any one), and adjust for altitude. (Not that they would, but they COULD. That math exists.) But absent that, what CAN they do? Don't they already store balls in some type of humidor or something? Serous question. I don't disagree that it's such an outlier that something should be done to have games played there regress to the mean a little bit, but I'm not sure what that would be.

The problem isn't just the size (it's already a very large), the thin air flattens out breaking pitches--we saw that with Ross last night--he was throwing cement mixers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the ball to make it more rough so it catches more air? I don't think you can do that. That was my point, I'm not sure it's a fixable problem. Unless you move the team.

I am just glad we only have to play there 3-4 games a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the other solution would be to build some type of pressurized dome thing where they can simulate sea level pressure, air quality, humidity, and temperature. That might do the trick. And I'm reasonably confident it can be done. But it would be EXPENSIVE. And probably not worth it. But it would be cool... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
