DENVER \u2014 Tyler Glasnow<\/a> looked right at home in a place that usually makes pitchers miserable. Coors Field, cold air, snow on the ground before first pitch, and a lineup that can make any inning speed up on you. None of it seemed to bother him much Friday night. Glasnow gave the Dodgers seven strong innings in a 7-1 win, and afterward he made it sound like the whole strange night actually settled into a pretty comfortable rhythm.<\/p>\n

Staying Loose<\/p>\n

Glasnow said the biggest thing was staying loose and staying in motion. \u201cIt was good. I think just being able to warm up in between innings and stuff and consistently moving each inning, I didn\u2019t feel super cold or anything like that, and I felt pretty sharp today. Some innings were better than others, but I felt pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was a good sign in a ballpark where pitchers often spend the night searching for answers. Glasnow said he came in wondering whether the altitude would force him to change things, but once he got on the mound, it all felt close enough to normal that he trusted his usual mix. \u201cBefore coming here, I thought maybe I would have to, but warming up today I kind of just felt pretty similar, and I just kind of kept my repertoire the same. I threw a little bit more sliders maybe, but it was a lot of four-seams, a lot of curveballs, and then some sliders to put some guys away.\u201d<\/p>\n

Waking up to Snow<\/p>\n

The weather could have been the headline by itself. When Glasnow arrived and saw the field covered in a couple inches of snow, he still figured the game would happen. \u201cI kind of knew we were going to play because I knew that the snow was going to end at like 3:00. So, I don\u2019t know. Just whatever, I guess. It was going to be cold and whatever. I think it\u2019s kind of an advantage for the pitcher. Whenever it is a cold game, I kind of think about that, like they\u2019re going to be a lot colder than I am. So it worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said this was probably the coldest game he has pitched in, even with a Chicago game from earlier in his career still in the running. But he also admitted the cold did not hit him the same way it hits a lot of people. \u201cI\u2019m usually super hot and sweaty, so it\u2019s almost nice. My body temperature feels so high that when I went out there, I didn\u2019t feel cold. I didn\u2019t sweat a ton. It was almost kind of nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to Doc\u2019s Praise<\/p>\n

There was also a little bit of perspective in the way Glasnow talked about the outing. Dave Roberts<\/a> had mentioned the way Glasnow handled the conditions as another sign of growth, especially compared to tougher moments from last season. Glasnow did not turn it into a dramatic statement. He kept it simple. \u201cI think just feeling good was helpful. I was just timed up. The weather doesn\u2019t really matter. On days you feel bad, it might affect you a little bit more, but from today, I just felt good. I was on the same page with Will, and everything was timed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is probably the best way to sum up his night. Glasnow did not try to overpower Coors Field or outthink the weather. He felt good, trusted his stuff, worked with Will Smith<\/a>, and kept the game under control. On a freezing night in Denver, that was more than enough for the Dodgers.<\/p>\n
