Starting tonight, umpires at Coors field will monitor how balls are humidified and get from the Rockies' dugout to the pitcher, according to a San Francisco Chronicle report.
John Shea tweeted that Major League Baseball "now will oversee use of humidor balls at Coors Field following complaint filed by Giants."
The Rockies use a humidor to change the baseballs used at Coors Field so that the notorious hitter's park hosts more average offensive output.
During the Giants' 2-1 win over the Rockies Friday, starting pitcher Tim Lincecum requested a new ball and could be seen mouthing profanities about the use of what he called a "juiced ball."
And apparently it's nothing new to a lot of people:

"There's a feeling that the Rockies are doing something with the humidor-stored baseballs, and sometimes late in games when the Rockies need help, that some non-humidor baseballs slip into the mix. Nobody has been able to prove it.CSBC Commish
