this is from atlanta, i though it should be posted in the thread, same kind of shit mbb keeps telling me etc
interview (from John Smoltz of
the braves) today commenting on playing in Colorado.

Some good points he made:
He HATES pitching out there(could be a fade or a team total colorado next
time he pitches there).
He doesn't feel that the microwave effects the HIS ball, but wants to know
why every team cant do it.
He said the ball flies all over the place in the daytime (IE lets watch
those saturday and sunday plays in colorado)
He said at night he can have a little more control at night with humidity.
Also a good point that he brought up is batters swinging all out when in
colorado and those same players think they can get the same kinda hits when
they leave that city (WRONG). Says it messes up your swing. Ie that might
be one of the reasons why colorado bats so poorly cause they are at home and
take those same home swings in visitors ballparks and its not working. Lets
keep an eye out for teams that leave that ballpark and have to play the next
day(ie the braves tonight with the phillies).
We might be able to pick up on something,
