GDT #63: BRAVES (Minor) vs. ROCKIES (Nicasio), 100 to go!

The trick to Coors Field is to take advantage of the big space between the infield and the outfield with line drives and bloops and not to try and hit everything out of the park. Actually that's a lot like hitting in any other park too.
 
Two years ago Minor got kicked in the head at Coors - Braves were down 6-0 after the first inning and won the game 13-9. Last year Minor actually pitched well in the Coldest Game in MLB History. So the Braves are 3-0 when Minor starts at Coors, but it's not pretty. I'm sort of glad that was the game I missed. It would have been exhausting!

BTW that is the best I think I've ever seen Kimbrel pitch. That slider for out 2 was perhaps the best pitch he's ever thrown.

Beautiful pitching from Kimbrel. He had his pitches working and his velocity was up near perfect.
