MLB Responds to Giants' Complaint, Will 'Monitor' Baseballs at Coors Field

Filed under: Giants, Rockies, MLB Biz, MLB UmpiresDENVER -- Major League Baseball has changed the procedures for the baseballs at Coors Field in response to a complaint filed Saturday morning by the Giants, MLB spokeman Pat Courtney told FanHouse.

"Starting today, the balls will be in a spot where the umpires can visually monitor them at all times," Courtney said.

For years there have been rumblings that the Rockies were using non-humidor balls when they were hitting, although no formal complaints had been lodged by any clubs. On Friday night, video caught Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum apparently saying the words "juiced balls," along with some other expletives.

The Rockies have repeatedly denied any manipulation of the baseballs. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
