Brewers are I believe the 6th worst team in the NL on the road.

 

Here's hoping a trip to Coors cools them down.

The problem is they also hit a lot of homers. Coors might be the only away stadium where they survive...

[Omar]

Prince Fielder in Coors Field. Uh-oh.

[soccer10k]

It's still the Brewers on the road. Which is a good thing for their opponents.

In scary news, the Yankees are 6 outs from tying the Tigers for the WC lead.

Scary for who?

Just scary because of the universal hate for the Yankees and how far they've climbed back from the bottom of the AL.

[soccer10k]

Regression to the mean.

 

The Yankees have the second best ExWL in the majors at 70-42 behind only Boston's of 70-41. The next best are the Tigers, Angels, and Padres at 62-48.

 

More fun with ExWL:

 

While the Yankees are underperforming the most based on ExWL at 8 games (they are 62-50), the Diamondbacks are the team that is outperforming based on ExWL. Arizona, which sits is 63-50, has been outscored by 29 runs this year and is playing 10 games over their ExWL. Arizona is followed by the Cardinals (7 games over) and the White Sox (6 games over).

Don't they put their baseballs in a humidor up in Coors now? I remember hearing that the HR numbers have leveled out and become much more comparable to the rest of the league because of this.

Yes they do. Coors definitely isn't as big of a HR park as it used to be.

Which I never understood how they get away with it. How is doctoring the balls legal?

It's an attempt to get the ball to act more like it does in every other stadium. It's a smart way to try and offset the challenges of running a franchise in Denver. I don't understand why anybody would have a problem with it. It's not like the Rockies are the only ones who get to use the balls.

[Ender]

Hawpe yard. 4-0 Rockies in the 1st.

[Omar]

Cubs lose again. At least Rockies are winning 6-2.

[Smack]

2 straight errors by Tulowitzi (sp?) and the Brewers have 2 on 1 out....

[Smack]

and he redeems himself! starts the DP and the Brewers lose!!

[98navigator]

Rockies win!

[Brian]

i can't get excited over Brewers loses, they are just wasted opportunities.

I agree but when the Cubs lose it makes me feel better than the alternative.

[aerosmith21]

The As were up 7-0 vs Texas now its tied 7-7 in the bot of the 10th. ouch

Hmmm, what happened to the A's good pitching? The Oakland and San Diego staffs both giving up the goods today.

[aerosmith21]

Anybody watchin the rangers As game........rangers manager Washington just pulled a George Brett style shouting match with home plate umpire. Hilarious

[Smack]

I'm watching WSH/SF because I've got Lincecum on my fantasty team. That and I'm hoping to see Bonds suffer a career ending injury tonight.
