That brings us to Coors Field on Friday night. For a few seconds it seemed like we may have been headed towards that inevitable flare up. It happened in the third inning with Troy Tulowitzki running on first base, D.J. LeMahieu at the plate, and Madison Bumgarner pitching. As it’s being reported, Tulowitzki asked first base umpire Tim McClelland to check the baseball. McClelland complied, stopping play to give it a once over before tossing it out of play.

Also, being a well traveled player whose teams won WS after he left (Philly 08, NYY 09) won't help Abreu. Damon was also well traveled but was a big part of Boston & NYY's successful postseason runs. Being a one franchise guy will help Helton. Interestingly, Vlad may join Dawson, Carter & hopefully Raines as another Expo representative in the HOF, unless the Hall puts him in as an Angel

I suspect Helton will get Walker/McGriff type support and stay around on the ballot for the duration without ever coming close to election. I don't really see him getting enshrined like Vlad or dropped like Abreu.

His (Coors inflated) rate stats are too pretty to just completely ignore, but I suspect his power numbers will just be too low for the voters for a guy who played his entire career at an offensive position, in the height of the sillyball era, and in possibly the most offense-inflating ballpark of all time.

This much-maligned pitching staff has now given up one run over the past two games.
