Humidor Question

How does anyone know if every ball put into play at Coors during a game has been given the “humidor treatment”? I mean, not to get all tin foil hat and stuff, but how does anyone know that the Rockies aren’t busting out untreated balls when they are batting? Aren’t the Rockies themselves responsible for supplying the baseballs? So what’s to prevent them from cheating?

Just something I’ve wondered about for some time.

Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?

You know, I actually do think it’s probably a very important concept in the pitcher psychology because it lets a guy challenge a hitter when he might otherwise be too worried about the walk to do it.

As an actual strategy, though… it’s much more limited.

From MLBTR

Chris Haft of MLB.com says the Molina deal could be a precursor to another move to acquire a hitter. With Buster Posey now installed behind the plate, San Francisco are now free to pursue a corner infielder (with Pablo Sandoval playing either first or third as the situation may warrant) or an outfielder. Names like David DeJesus and Jose Guillen have been mentioned as possible acquisitions, and we also know the Giants will shy away from rent-a-players.

Nate

I think he’s really had to alter his approach at the plate. He just doesn’t have major league caliber bat speed. So he’s reduced to flicking and slapping at pitches.

Why couldn't McCovey have hit the ball just three feet higher?

by tobias on Jul 1, 2010 7:26 PM PDT up reply actions  

I disagree

I think he just needs some ABs. He’s not gonna be a star, but he can be a good player.

I think he’s earned it.

I just don’t think we’d ever see much more than the same low .700’s OPS kind of numbers that we’ve already seen from Nate over 660+ MLB PA’s.

Posted this in the originial thread, but

If you think about it, this trade is worse for them than the Alderson trade was for us.

At least we were trading for a player with a year and a half of control left and who was playing well. Bengie is an FA after this season and has played like shit. I’d be pissed if we lost a good pitching prospect for that too.
