Welcome to the ninth Purple Row edition (and 114th overall) of Tuesdays With Mitch, where we are NOT proud of the #BestHackersInBaseball. Let's get into it...
Each year, a single road trip seems to doom the Rockies. The Rockies will be playing some pretty good baseball, maybe turning some heads and raising some eye brows before boarding a plane and playing a few series away from Coors Field. Things go poorly and the Rockies fade from relevance. I've named this yearly happening "The Annual Road Trip Of Doom".
I went back and looked at the past few Rockies' seasons in an attempt to illustrate this phenomenon.
