Things are starting to look bleak at Coors Field. The Rockies have lost seven games in a row in their usually friendly confines and dropped to 16-19 at home this season.
While many factors are responsible for this four-game sweep by Atlanta and three-game sweep by Cleveland — a bad defense that has made eight errors and a C.J. Cron slump are two notable ones — the one that stands out is the lack of clutch hitting.
The Rockies have managed to lose every advantage of thin air and the 2.66 acres of outfield during this stretch, especially with runners in scoring position.
