In a game that single-handedly skewed the pace of play average for the entire 2023 season, the San Francisco Giants lost to the San Diego Padres 16-11 tonight in Mexico City.
It takes a lot to make me feel even a little bad about all of the trash I have talked about Coors Field over the years. I have regularly called it an offensive hellmouth where defense goes to die.
And that’s true.
But I think I owe it a bit of an apology after tonight’s game. Because Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú has definitely taken the lead in ballparks that give pitchers nightmares.
