They did this without three of their top pitchers in Jon Gray, Tyler Chatwood and Tyler Anderson. They did this without both of their starting catchers. They did it with talent that hadn’t pitched in the majors until a month ago. The Rockies are winning by any means necessary and they are earning the right to be called one of the best teams in baseball.
Before the series with the Cubs, the Rockies were ranked sixth in the MLB.com Power Rankings. There is no doubt that the Washington Nationals deserve to be number one. The Rockies proved they have a long way to go to compete for the title of best team in the league based on the four game series at the end of April with the Nats.
