Strange things happen at Coors Field. The Rockies’ home park sits about a mile above sea-level, so balls carry and break a bit differently and players’ bodies respond differently to the rigors of the schedule.

It often adds up to some stark home-road splits, and occasional allegations of foul play. The Giants have in the past suggested that the Rockies were using “juiced” baseballs — or ones left out of the ballpark’s humidor.

And with Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki leading the NL in practically everything and hitting over .500 at home, Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow suggested that the Rockies could be stealing signs.

Rockies manager Walt Weiss had the right response:

“My response is we do it all,” Weiss said. “We’ve got a light bulb on the scoreboard we flash. Keep an eye on Dinger; he’s involved. We switch out the balls. We’ve got the umpires in on it. I love it when other teams talk about that. I think it just feeds the beast.”
