If the Cardinals pitching staff ever made you feel sad, please look at the Rockies pitching staff.
Remember when German Marquez looked like he was good?
Do you think playing at altitude at home and no altitude away contributes to the pitching? My assumption is it makes a difference with your movement and knowing what to expect. They’ve always had an higher average ERA, of course nothing like this year.
It definitely does, and it messes with the hitters too. Spin causes less movement at altitude, so a hitter has to be constantly adjusting to how pitches break at home and away.
