How the Rockies can shake things up on offense

The Colorado Rockies have scored 14 runs so far in five home games. That measly showing has come against the Atlanta Braves and the San Diego Padres. On the one hand, both of those teams have decent pitchers. On the other hand, this is supposed to be a soft portion of the schedule for a team with playoff aspirations.

There have been lots of strikeouts, a lack of opportunities to rally, and a tendency to squander those opportunities when they arise. It feels similar to last year in that the offense is quite top heavy with Nolan Arenado, Charlie Blackmon, and DJ LeMahieu carrying an otherwise inconsistent lineup.
