The good news is the benches-clearing brawl in the third inning on Wednesday at Coors Field finally lit a spark under the you-know-whats of the Rockies offense. While there’s still plenty to be concerned about with the offense to start the season, it was borderline exhilarating to finally see a string of good at-bats yielding good results and manufactured runs.
The Rockies will now embark on their second road trip of 2018 with trips to the nation’s capital for four games against the Nationals, followed by three in Pittsburgh against the surprisingly hot Pirates.
