Oh, those starters at Coors Field

[rhd]

I think I posted about this before but here goes again. It never fails. If I activate a starter for a Coors Field start, he invariably gets bombed. If I deactivate him, he pitches well. I am the victim again this week. I deactivated Lance Lynn for his start Friday night and he pitches a gem: CG, 1 ER, only 2 baserunners, 2 Ks and the win. I didnt deactivate Kolby Allard, who had been pitching great. He gets bombed today: 3 IP, 6 ER, 9 baserunners, 6 Ks. I feel forced to leave rookie Cristian Javier active for his upcoming Coors Field start on Thursday. It's either him or Teheran, who's been horrendous, against Oakland. He got bombed again today against the Dodgers. I'll take my chances w Javier, who's been great so far. I never worry about any stadium other than Coors.

Yeah, i too was just thinking about benching Cristian Javier for his next start there. I'm not 100% sure i will though.

Allard had thrown 9 solid innings in 2 starts but Lynn has been great for a year and a half. Usually you can blame Coors but in this instance...not so much

Edit to add Lynn had 6 k's in his Coors start.

sorry, you can blame me, I left Allard active as well (against my better judgement) ... 5th starter of mine to give up 6 or more runs in a start this year ...

Agree, we discussed this in the RJ nfbc slack channel - Lynn is an ace at this point. You don't bench him, even for Coors.

Allard had been good in a very small sample, I expect he'll revert back to being himself, which is a fringe 5th starter.

They really aren't comparable.

I get your point but my point is that w my roto teams it hasnt seemed to make a difference.

BTW, I picked up Alec Mills in our FA draft and I've replaced Javier w him. Now, Javier will probably pitch a gem in Coors on Thursday.

Well, Javier struggled at Coors (3.7 IP, 3 ER, 9 baserunners, 5 Ks). But Mills was even worse in his start (3.7 IP, 6 ER, 9 baserunners, 1 K) so sitting Javier didnt help me. No matter what I do, Coors starters bite me one way or another.

Yeah, i benched Javier also. I can't help but wonder if pitching effectively at Coors Field is something that can be learned. But, previous history says it will probably always be a crapshoot.
