DENVER -- Rockies right-hander Chad Bettis isn't the type to wonder. If there's an issue, he's going to research and plan action.
For example, at season's end, the Rockies have exit meetings in which they discuss offseason areas of improvement. Before anyone spoke to Bettis after a solid 2016 -- 14-8, 4.79 ERA -- he had a plan. Opponents hit .331 on pitches 76-100 of his outings, and he decided, on his own, to focus on the last 15 pitches each game.
"'That sounds like Chad, right?'" smiling Rockies general manager Jeff Bridich said when relayed Bettis' planned approach.
