If the Colorado Rockies are going to make their third consecutive postseason appearance, they are going to have to play their best baseball of the season for an extended period of time in the season’s second half. Catching the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West almost certainly won’t happen. Snaring another Wild Card spot is still a very real possibility … if Colorado can find its mojo on the mound and at the plate.
And the mound is where we’ll start with the first big disappointment of 2019 so far. Think back to Opening Day and a rotation that consisted of Kyle Freeland, German Marquez, Tyler Anderson, Jon Gray and Chad Bettis.
