Considering Jon Miller broadcasted Barry Bonds‘ games in San Francisco for years, he must know a thing or two about cheaters.
And the ex-Orioles broadcaster apparently wants baseball to investigate the Colorado Rockies.

“There’s a feeling that the Rockies are doing something with the humidor-stored baseball, and sometimes late in games when the Rockies need help, that some non-humidor baseballs slip into the mix,” Miller said on KNBR in San Francisco. “Nobody has been able to prove it. … But to me it’s something that baseball needs to address.”
The Rockies use a humidor to prevent baseballs from shrinking, as they would do in the high altitude while stored in a closet. Smaller baseballs can be hit further.
The umpires receive the game balls before the game to rub them down. Maybe Colorado could sneak balls into the bag during a game; it would be very difficult. But there is suspicion, just as there always was with Bonds. Only, in those days, Miller kept quiet.
