DENVER — The Colorado Rockies have gotten off to a very good start in 2017, posting a record of 5-2 so far while winning both their first road and first home series’ of the year.
There have been a few troubling signs here and there — the base running remains suspect, and a particular bullpen move is baffling, to say the least — and as good as the record is, a little bit of difference on some of those small issues could have us looking at an undefeated Colorado Rockies team. How crazy is that?
Well, it’s pretty crazy when you consider that the Rockies entered the season with the second-most players on the DL in MLB and even more so when you take a look at who those players are.
