The Colorado Rockies were completely destroyed by the San Francisco Giants 19-2 in the first game of a double-header on Monday afternoon. The Rockies’ so-called ace of the rotation, German Marquez, gave up 11 earned runs in 2.2 innings before being pulled from the game. Before the bleeding could be stopped, the Rockies were down 13 runs after four innings. By that time, what was already a sparse crowd due to it being an afternoon make-up game had almost completely dissipated .
The game had gotten so out of hand, that the Twitter-sphere had become full of bickering on whether or not it was OK to give up on the game.
