Coors Field is a legitimate competitive disadvantage for the Rockies. They play at altitude and the thin mountain thin does funny things to the baseball. Pitches don't move like they normally do and batted balls travel a little farther as well.
The Rockies have been around since 1993, and during that time they've been unable to crack the code of pitching at Coors Field. They've tried sinkerballers. They've tried pitchers with blow-you-away fastballs. They've tried finesse guys who can dot the corners.
