HedleyLamarr Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 And the thin air causes curveballs and sliders to break less.I was gonna say, it's not so much the balls being hit so much farther, it's that the balls being pitched don't do what they'd normally do at lower elevations. Though, I thought the MLB-approved humidor was supposed to equalize the pitchers and hitters. Maybe the thin air is still in the pitchers' heads.Coors Field is also a huge ballpark. It's not the home runs that kill you, it's the doubles and triples (and by extension, having runners on base due to walks and errors) that usually do you in.

Fishplatter Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I knew this brother would play well today. Trevor Plouffe hit a 3 run homer against the Red Sox today.

Alex Houston Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Interesting change of pace with Swirsky alongside Stone for the Jays/White Sox game. Kind of nice.

cmm Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The new pace of game rules seem to be working. The average time of a nine-inning game is down 9 minutes to 2:53, and more importantly there seems to be less piddling around between pitches and innings (at least it seems that way to me).

pmoehrin Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The new pace of game rules seem to be working. The average time of a nine-inning game is down 9 minutes to 2:53, and more importantly there seems to be less piddling around between pitches and innings (at least it seems that way to me).Its definitely an improvement, although nothing is slower paced then the NFL and nobody seems to care about that, so I think people were making it out to be a bigger problem then it really was.Still I don't any fan including myself is clamoring to go back to the old rules. Anything that makes the game more watchable I'm for all and no question this has. Nine minutes may not seem like much on paper, but it effectively works out to eight less games a year for each team.Side note noticing the Dodgers are batting Jimmy Rollins 2nd and his Mendoza line batting average second. Why? If your second place hitter is bunting, which Rollins has done twice in the game, he shouldn't be your second place hitter.EDIT: Of course right on cue Rollins plants his fifth home run of the year, so brilliant move by Mattingley batting the under performing Rollins second tonight.

OnWis97 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 CardinalsDodgersAstrosRoyalsThese are the teams that current have a better record than the Twins. The Twins started off 1-6 and were ugly even by 1-6 standards. They are 26-12 since. They are not particularly impressive in pitching or offensive team stats, nor is any individual really putting up big numbers, with the exception of Glen Perkins, who is 17/17 for saves (and has been outstanding regardless of how meaningful that stat is).A couple of starters are showing some life (Gibson and Pelfrey in particular) and the rest of the 'pen has been solid. Offensively, they keep finding ways to score despite having nobody with 10 home runs are a .300 average. So far I like Molitor. Perkins has a couple of 4-out saves. Gardy would not have done that in a million years. So what's it mean? Most of all it means fan interest into the summer, which is valuable in and of itself. Their chances? Probably not very good. They have been huge with RISP, which is nice but probably won't hold up. On the other hand, if a couple of guys (Danny Santana like last year, Arcia when he comes back from injury, Vargas like some think he can) start getting hot, maybe being alive into September becomes a possibility.I know one thing...I'd never have dreamed that the AL Central would be the best division in the AL (in baseball), and that the Twins would be worried about how to catch the Royals.I also love how upside down the AL is. Astros? Royals? (I know they were in the postseason last year, but still...).
