Over the course of the last 15 games they have scored over 3 runs twice. Only 2 times have they posted more than 3 runs on the scoreboard for the entire nine innings. (In those outliers they happened to scored 12 and 15 runs respectively.) And that’s the good part.
(More like 'CAN'T HIT ON ANYONE')
In the last 8 games, the Rockies have scored the fewest runs in the franchise’s history. Sixteen big ones in eight whole games.
Their batting is sputtering more than Herbie. They leave the plate about as clean as Joey ‘Jaws’ Chesnut does at supper time. They now high-five just for fun. And they’ve start to channel their inner-Jobu.
(From :15-1:01 are EXACTLY what I'm talking about.)
And yes, this may all be well and true but the runs will come. They have to.
Carlos Gonzales and Troy Tulowitzki are no flukes. They were both in the top 5 of National League MVP voting a year ago.
The Colorado Rockies are in most of the recent games, even with the tremendous struggles at the plate. But we almost forget; their best pitcher from last year has a single victory and the next time we’ll see the best pitcher the Rockies have in 2011 won’t return from the disabled list until possibly 2012.
So, in essence, the Rockies are right where they want them.
