And that's not much to boast about when you see how the ball flies out of Coors Field.

Opposing pitchers have a higher ERA at Comiskey than visiting pitchers do at Coors this season. It's not just our pitching staff.

 

USCF has become a launching pad. Check out the park factors this season. USCF is giving up HR's at a greater rate than any other park in baseball, including Coors.

I think Hawk and DJ were talking about this. They said it has to do with the angle of the new roofing and that it makes the wind swirl and take hold of the ball or something like that (I had 3 years of physics in college, but I haven't put it to use in a while, but it sounds plausible).
