the rockies led the majors in home slugging percentage at .480 and were 25th in road slugging at .395. So anyone who doesnt think a players stats are inflated because of Coors is being blind

thats why Holliday didnt win, and that is why tulo didnt win ROY.

It's unfair to just look at road stats, there needs to be a balance there. Playing in Coors for some reason seems to have a weird effect where you play worse on the road. I think it has to do with adjusting to the different kind of atmosphere. I probably sound insane and stupid but believe I'm pretty sure I am right and there is evidence to support me.

Also, I am probably not explaining myself optimally.

You are very correct on this. I have heard interviews with several players describing the "Coors Field Hangover". You get used to the way the ball moves/breaks in Coors, and then have to adjust when you leave. Most players say it takes a series to get used to "normal" baseball. So Rockies players would have to go through this adjustment several times per season.
