Yes. Very unlike a Joe Maddon club, but this team is very raw. Plus, that's why he was hired. The young fellas are in good hands.
The good thing is that, ideally, this is likely the worst team they will have for the next ten years or so. Pron worthy organizational future.

About time! The only thing I've been holding onto with baseball is that I enjoy going to and watching games in person when I'm in a MLB city. Now, I'll have to seriously debate if it's even worth the hassle to drop into a Dodger/Angels game every once in awhile. Can we just go straight to Indonesian type security in American where there are these things at malls and hotels and the like? I'm tired of being able to walk into and out of places freely. I'm tired of all the Fernandos at Dodger games bringing in bombs. Hug me police state. Queue me up, pat me down, keep me safe. Tuck me in at night.

I can't say anything regarding the NFL or NHL, but the NBA's been doing this for at least a few years. It's annoying if you get there close to game time and it takes longer to get you in, but I always try to arrive early so it's usually not an issue for me.

I'd be shocked if they all weren't at that level. College sports are getting there too, they just seem to be a couple years behind. Theme Parks are a pain to get into now too. I just don't like it. Makes me feel more uncomfortable. Like I'm trapped in the building or something. And the whole cattle herding feeling. And obviously, it doesn't do anything. Everybody is a sitting duck in a queue line if some nutter wants to blow something up, sneak in a Chipotle burrito, shoot people or whatever they are claiming to try to prevent.

Andrian Gonzalez going to hit 220 homers this year. Parks one every time I turn from the Jazz game to Padres/Dodgers.
League's best hitting club, adequate pitching if they weren't at altitude, would be able to recruit much better pitching in a park that doesn't tear up pitchers arms because the thin air won't allow the ball to break so they adjust their throws to death, don't trade Jeff Samardzija because they're too cheap to ever win anything.
Last season they led the NL in damn near every hitting statistic. MLB doesn't have the splits up that I cold find but IIRC they led both leagues similarly, without a DH. The home road splits didn't change it either.
Best hitting team in baseball.

Not sure if serious, but the Rockies OPS was #1 at home and #29 on the road. They have some good players, but the Coors Field effect is massive.
So ignore the altitude when evaluating their hitting, but cite it when evaluating their pitching? They play more games @ Coors than anyone else. They should lead the league in hitting statistics every year.
Are all Chub fans on the heavy drugs? You'd have to be to root for such a garbage organization that doesn't care about winning. Colorado .921 ops so far, as if that is all that matters because you're a chub fan. They should rotenone the league of both the chubs and their fans.
Chubs druggie, I said there home road splits didn't change the fact I.I.R.C. If you have the stats then show them and I'll look. I don't know how to find them.
Giants fans are so much more interesting than nostalgic WGN kids who grew up od'ing on whatever drug Chicago ships out. Where are they all this season?
Sure, Ttey don't change the fact that they had the best hitting stats in the league because they play 81 games at Coors field every year. They'd have to strikeout every at-bat on the road to not have the best stats in the league. Truth is, the Rockies offense sucked on the road.
.906 OPS at home, .636 on the road

If the Rockies had the best offense in baseball last year, they probably would have won more than 66 games
Your trolling is very weak in this thread. You do better work in the Jazz forum.
Weak sauce.
First off, they play in the worst hitting ballpark conference in the league and that's including Coors field. The majority of their road games are against elite pitcher fields. Add on top of that that pitchers love to sign with those teams because their stats get bumped and it makes it even more difficult for the Rox on the road. Do you understand what playing 40 games against @ the most stringent fields does to your %'s?
Second off, how would anyone hit when you're used to a ball breaking 60% less at home during those 81 games? No **** they hit worse on the road, just as everyone else does but with that additional handicap added.
You calling my jabs at dumbas Chub fans trolling is boring, frankly. The Rox were nationally recognized last year for their insane hitting. Then everyone went down with injuries, as is typical of ****ing Cargo my glove broke a lace I'm out 2 weeks, Tulo, and also Cuddy.
Best hitting team in the league.
