Colorado’s Coors Field saga continues: the Rockies are 23-52 at home this season, a .307 clip that ranks last in MLB, as Coors’ elevation inflates ERAs and homers. The home pitching is the worst in the league (6.57 ERA) while the offense at Coors is only middling; three straight 100+ loss seasons underscore the urgent need to reclaim home-field advantage. With six home games left against Miami and the Angels, a turn in the home record could start a late-season rally.

The piece argues fixes must come on both sides: sharper pitching and better defense, plus more productive hitting to exploit elevation. It points to a post-All-Star Break mark of 13-16 at home as a sliver of optimism if the rotation, bullpen, and lineup converge. Farm updates spotlight Hiura, Hilliard, and Veen as signs the Rockies’ pipeline could lift the big club, but the path back to relevance requires winning at altitude rather than merely at sea level.
