I should’ve quit out of the one ranked game I played there last year - opponent started the 99 Randy and I couldn’t hit at all

I play coors for gappers, even with high speed outfielders you can still get gappers at Coors and sometimes even triples.
Only other good park for triples is whatever they call SF now at that place sucks to hit at

Homeruns aren’t usually hit at low 90s anywhere but high elevation stadiums

Same with the dumb created stadiums. Like, you chose this man, not me!

I like it because it’s a large field but you don’t get shafted with exit velocities for home runs. Can get lots of doubles and triples. Especially with the decision to decrease speed out of the box.

I get playing at Coors if you just need stats, and dont trust your hitting. But, if you're pretty good at the game, why you want that boring homer-fest??? Same reason everyone wants pencil bat, I guess...but it beats me....

Great. Another player to plug into your all switching teams. See you at Coors in perpetuity.

I don't know why higher level players play in Coors.

I know why I do as a lower skilled player: I need all the help i can get with the total base mission

In 23/early 24 when innings mattered as much as offense I always played in places like PNC

I always get gifted/shafted with the TN card. It's a complete joke at this point.

Probably better then chipper.

The penalty is similar to a secondary.

I’ve seen people with bobby witt and Jimmy Rollins in the outfield it should work I think.
