The Rockies took a nosedive into the All-Star break, capping off a down-and-up-and-down first half. Arenado, Story, Dahl, and Blackmon have all had standout performances, and the offense has received major contributions from some unlikely sources (and stashes). But do they have enough to make a third playoff appearance?
In episode 7 of Affected by Altitude, Ben Kouchnerkavich, Sam Bradfield, and Adam Peterson discuss where the Rockies stand at the All-Star break and how the second half will shake out. Ben and Sam are then joined by Nick Hertzog and Eric Garcia McKinley to brainstorm the Rockies’ options at the trade deadline, and Nick shares a story about Ubering a Colorado Rockie.
