Five seasons ago, the Colorado Rockies created “Bridich Barrier,” adding height to the wall in right-center and intending to decrease home runs and increasing triples in Coors Field.
They hoped this would give the struggling pitching staff more opportunities to work their way out of tough situations. The raised right-center field wall is not one of the most aesthetically pleasing parts of Coors Field, and many have questioned its impact, including the GM that installed it, Jeff Bridich.
