Wow, the Rocks just keep on rolling.

 

Rockies-D'backs NLCS? While a disaster for the ratings, that is a good thing for baseball.

 

 

That is true but I love watching the Rox's play. A lot of people have underestimated them.

On some level I would like to see COL/ARI NLCS & LAA/CLE ALCS with either COL/CLE or ARI/CLE in the World Series just so Fox has really s***ty ratings for the third year in a row.

 

Maybe, just maybe, MLB would get the memo to Fox, EPSN, et al to hype promote more than just East Coast teams for the sake of the game. Casual sports fans will tune in and watch if they know who the hell is playing.

I think it's pretty clear Rollins is the MVP as is, but when you look at Holliday's Coors Field/away splits, it becomes even more obvious that Rollins should win the award.

2004

HOME: 1.009 OPS, 10 HR, 31 XBH

AWAY: .654 OPS, 4 HR, 17 XBH

 

2005

HOME: 1.002 OPS, 12 HR, 29 XBH

AWAY: .729 OPS, 7 HR, 21 XBH

 

2006

HOME: 1.132 OPS, 22 HR, 48 XBH

AWAY: .818 OPS, 12, 36 XBH

 

2007

HOME: 1.157 OPS, 25 HR, 58 XBH ALSO: 4 HR in 14 ABs (nearly a 2.000 OPS) @ Citizens Bank Park (no more than 1 HR at any other park)

AWAY: .860 OPS, 11 HR, 34 XBH

 

So he's a pretty decent offensive player when playing away from Coors/CBP but when hitting at either stadium he becomes a monster. I'll be legitimately upset if this man wins the MVP. Coors is such a joke, a cavernous stadium that plays like a bandbox. Doubles, triples and homeruns galore.

 

If this bothers you then definitely avoid Tulo's splits as well.

I think some people forgot there was a game on today. :D

 

Rockies are 3 outs away from advancing to the NLCS. :) Rockies-D-Backs matchup should be quite interesting.

 

That SHOULD be a GREAT series.

 

Also, since the wild card and divisional series started, have there ever been 4 sweeps in that round?

According to ESPN, this was the first time the national league swept the divisional series round, so that answers that.
