I miss fun baseball.
I miss rallies, remarkable plays at third base, dominant performances by Germán Márquez, and back-to-back homers. I miss walk-offs. I miss the Rockies dominating at Coors Field.
This year, fun and the Rockies have rarely gone together. In what promises to be the fourth-straight losing season, the Rockies are just getting harder and harder to watch. They did get a win on Thursday night, with some key doubles in the first and ninth inning, and it was good to snap a three-game losing streak.
However, the play that stood out to me was Ryan McMahon hitting a grounder to move Randal Grichuk to third with the Rockies up 4-3 with one out in the ninth.
