That's not how it works

[XZero771679666304]

Drama-free ninth, plz.

[Schwarber Fan]

You walk Rizzo to get to Bryant in that spot every day and twice on Sunday.

Um, did you not see that 495 foot bomb on 0-2 Sunday? Why choke up?

[BigSlick]

For the sake of all that is holy and good and true in this world, don't lose this game

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Has anyone checked Bryant's home-away splits this season? It's pretty dramatic. Other than Rockies players, are home-away splits something to be concerned about or is it often times random from year to year?

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's one !!

Players generally hit a little better at home, but there's a lot of random variation with that.

[Sammys Boombox]

Haha. Nice K zone. I'll take it.

Rockies home/road splits are some of the most irrelevant, playing so much at altitude messes with your ability to recognize breaking pitches on the road where they move more. If the home park is not Coors but an extreme to one end or the other it can be a slight indicator, but generally it's noise.

[Sammy Sofa]

McCarver....just shut up.

[TMan92]

Lose already!

[Derwood]

McCarver needs to stop saying "Ren-doan"

[ARCubsFan]

McCarver thinks the Cubs should be warming up Travis Wood lol

[Sammy Sofa]

Sit down, Pennsatucky.

[Fred Hornkohl]

That's two !!

[Derwood]

Sit down, Pennsatucky.

and also hasn't Wrigley played as an extreme pitchers park this season to this point? (Or at least it did last I checked, August may have changed things)

[NOLA]

And he said Maddon had gone to Motte as a closer more often than not. And he wondered if Maddon would go to Travis Wood after that single.

Looks like August changed things a bit. Single year(in this case less than a year) park factors aren't very useful, but Wrigley is #15 for runs thus far, right in the middle.
