Coors: A brand of beer and, in baseball, the worst kind of label.
The Rockies have dealt with the consistent criticism that their offensive numbers are inflated by the mile-high altitude of Coors Field, and that label has been dropped time and again to discredit the merits of the club’s former and current sluggers.
But since it’s clear the Coors label is going to subsist as a pejorative by which both the national media and the average Twitter Joe devalue Colorado players offensively, then shouldn’t it also be used as a compliment to pitchers who have, relatively speaking, tamed the beast?
