Before the season started, I issued a stern warning that the MLB schedule-makers were not kind to the Colorado Rockies and they needed to act accordingly. For once in my life, I made a correct prediction (don’t look at my season predictions, especially my most surprising/disappointing players).
The early season schedule was brutal for the Rockies and it had a hand in their current 15-17 record. They played 32 games in 36 days (having one game postponed) with 20 road games and 16 games against teams who won more than 90 games last season.
