Carillon posted:Dude hit two homes in a game, I'm totally willing to say without any other evidence that he's back baby!! He had a solid series against Houston too, my man is back for sure Really though I'm not sure what to make of him after this year. He's always profiled as a guy who would one day just fall off a cliff but he was swinging so tentatively for a while for a dude whose entire thing was taking giant cuts and, as a compete homer and non doctor, it seemed like maybe the oblique injury really hosed with him, like the inability to twist himself into knots without severe pain led to these timid at bats. Some beat writers have speculated he hasn't been 100% basically all year but I think that's just speculation, not info I hope an offseason to heal up makes him a bounce back candidate but maybe he's cooked. I dunno. I'm rooting for him, though

Pitchers don’t want to pitch for the Rockies because the air is lighter given Denver’s high elevation and therefore the ball carries further and does other strange things, which results in a high offense environment that kills pitcher stats. JV is Justin Verlander and WHIP is Walks+Hits per Innings Pitched, if that’s what confused you

Also because you have to acclimate to being in Denver's high elevation, every time they leave and come back, there's a wear factor on the body that's just unavoidable.

Pressurized dome stadium imo. Then you can have a future -gate when it's been discovered that the Rockies were dialing up the atmospheres during opponent at-bats. https://twitter.com/baseballcontext/status/1172570555901513728

Not really a news thing but also not really a game day thing: I hate Jack Morris as an announcer. He has no discernable sense of humor and he's a cranky reactionary about literally everything. Retroactively remove him from the Hall, since he shouldn't be there anyway, but especially because he seems to hate baseball in every aspect.

All he does is bitch about how baseball is soooo different from when he was a player and how it ruins the sanctity of the game.

The thinner air also reduces air resistance on pitches which means your breaking pitches don't break as much IIRC

Yeah he'll just have to console himself with a Cy I mean I get it, ace pitchers are prima donnas and hate loving any thing up, but it hasn't hurt him at all obviously.

I didn't say he was a garbage pitcher... I said he was pitching badly early in the season... and he was... but he's been really good lately!

Dutchy posted:He had a solid series against Houston too, my man is back for sure I haven't checked the stats or anything, but eye test wise he's been pretty unlucky too. He definitely has had some deep flys that could have gone out depending on the park or a different area. A hitting KD makes the A's so much more dangerous.
