Patrick Dubuque talks through the new metric DRC+ and the potential impact on Hall of Fame cases for the Rockies. We talked through the hopefulness of this stat for Rockies hitters and the Coors bias this week. Any efforts to reconsider this long-held bias are welcome, of course, and especially for the Hall and guys like Larry Walker and Todd Helton.
There have been lots of weird ballparks that rendered lots of unique advantages over baseball’s history. Why is Coors Field the one where people want the games and stats to count less?
