CarGo and Tulo are on pace for 324 home runs combined.

Two no-doubters tonight.

I feel for you Tinker. I'm exactly 29 miles further away from Coors Field then you are from Miller Park, yet you're blacked out, and I am not...

It's just dumb. My XBox IP originates from a town about 30 minutes closer and in "Rockies territory" so I can't get the Rockies on my XBox app. But, because the IPad has a location function, I can get them here.

BTW, I've turned the channel...perfect game watch for Yu Darvish. One out in the seventh. Two outs in the seventh.

12 Ks.

Tacos!!!!!

Cuddy with an absolute gem of a play. Woo-hoo! This is why I love baseball. Rox look good tonight.

No perfect for Yu which is a good thing. It's rare for an elite pitcher to pitch a perfect game and continue to be elite afterwards.

And THEEEEE Rockies win.

His career numbers against De la Rosa are insane.

Here's an interesting article on how fastballs suffer the most at Coors field, and how Carlos Gonzales has a hard time hitting the fastball on the road.

That's a good write up and great research. I loved the stuff on normal, or average, pitch movement (going to compare that to Yu tonight, to see if my eyes are deceiving me or not).

But, the whole time I'm reading that I'm thinking "what if he just presses on the road?" What if it's that simple, then this guy wasted an entire weekend to conclude that.

The fastball percentages and breaks are very interesting though, because I've been guilty of saying, and believing, it's the curveball that's affected the most.

This isn't the first article I've read that shows that Fastballs are affected more at Coors than anywhere else. I just hope that the Pitching staff for the Rox are aware of this.
