Prior to Saturday game’s against the Rockies at Coors Field, Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Luvollo was asked about his team not taking batting practice before the contest. He made it clear that fans coming early to the ballpark wouldn’t see his team in the batting cage during the remainder of their time in LoDo.
“We want to keep them off the field as much as possible,” Luvollo told reporters. “It’s tough. We have a couple of guys who aren’t feeling so good and it’s well documented. I know that everyone is coming up here huffing and puffing and it’s causing shortness of breath.
