Since their inception in 1993, the Rockies have been plagued with a terrible curse. Despite being one of the best offensive teams in baseball at home, the lion quickly becomes a lamb as soon as they hit the road. In 2021, the road Rockies slashed a measly .217/.291/.352 while scoring 283 runs, both of which are a far cry from their offensive output at Coors Field. We hear about the constant struggles of changing elevation and the “Coors effect,” both of which are valid problems, but perhaps they can become a scapegoat to skirt the fact that it is actually possible to be successful on the road as a Rockie.
