After former Broncos quarterback Brian Griese sprained his ankle and said he was tripped on the stairs of his home by his golden retriever, Bella: “The dog stood up on his hind legs and gave him a push? You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

Trevor Story going for an MRI on his elbow, might need TJ.
#Rockies’ Trevor Story facing potential UCL damage in right elbow, sources tell The Athletic. Exact diagnosis not yet known.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostYes, I do. Nothing against either, but they're not pitching in Colorado for half their games and Arizona for another 10% or so.
Looking at park factors for runs, Colorado is at 1.26, Washington is 1.14, Philly is at 1.07, and Arizona is 1.05.
Giving Freeland a 15-20% handicap doesn't span the difference in results.Last edited by Ken; 09-24-2018, 10:43 AM.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostUnderstood. I think the recovery issues inherent to the higher altitude and park factor inconsistencies easily spans the difference.
What metrics are you seeing significant differences in when pitching for Colorado? Looking at those who have pitched both for the Rockies and other club in recent years:
Tyler Chatwood went from the Rockies to the Cubs and he's been terrible this year.
Jordan Lyles went from the Astros to the Rockies in 2014, and while bad in both places, overall he was the same or better as a Rockie (at least until he hit the wall in 2017)
Jhoulys Chacin was successful both as a Rockie and afterwards, although he had a rough year both in COL and LAA/ATL
Biggest issue is that the Rockies don't seem to have many good pitchers to compare. So perhaps the data set is not letting us see the real differences.Last edited by Ken; 09-24-2018, 02:14 PM.

Chacin's an interesting study. Two of his three good years in Colorado, he had very pronounced splits where he pitched much better away than home. One year (2011), surface stats are pretty similar.
Jon Gray's talent and pedigree point me toward this being true, and his strengths do not play well in Colorado, IMO. Other FA pitchers (Hampton comes to mind) collapsed completely in Colorado.I'm just here for the baseball.
