Guessing the announcers are remote since they are making very poor reads off the bat...

Likely, but Monaco is at the game and he's making bad reads too. The ball simply does not carry at this park for some reason. 10 feet smaller than Olsen and consistently less HRs

So humid

That's not it. Humid ---> ball goes farther.

Not even remotely correct.

Lol ok. Please show your work. Not intuitive at all but that's what science says...

The best weather for hitting a home run, according to scientists (popsci.com)

Humidity
It might seem like baseballs would have an easier time zipping through dry air. But in reality, hitters should have better luck batting balls in sweaty Miami than in arid Phoenix.
The reason has to do with the weight of gaseous molecules in the air. As air becomes more humid, it holds more water molecules. That gaseous water vapor is really light, and it displaces heavier gases like nitrogen and oxygen.

Why did they humidify balls at Coors field?

---

HINT: because humid air and humid balls are different things.

Humid conditions only nudge the ball a few inches farther in the air, but they can have indirect effects, too. The yarn inside of a baseball can hold water pretty easily, so when stored in hyper-humid environments, they get heavier and much less bouncy. The Colorado Rockies purposefully store their balls in such an environmentin something called a humidorto quell the sky-high number of home runs hit at Coors Field.

So they store the balls in a dehumidifier in Mississippi?
