System Sundays: Two Batted-Ball Litmus Tests

Morning, all.

So last night sucked, didn’t it? I really kind of hate Coors Field, if I’m being honest. Not the park itself, mind you; I’ve had the opportunity to take in a couple games there, and it probably places a solid second, right behind PNC Park in Pittsburgh, on my list of favourite ballparks I’ve been to. Beautiful stadium, and beautiful environs. But the brand of baseball played there, and that constant feeling that things could just go completely off the rails at any moment, is not at all fun.

It’s not even the same as a tight, stressful game played in any other ballpark, where the outcome of the game potentially hinges on every pitch of every at-bat.
