CINCINNATI — A cardinal rule of real estate also applies to big-league pitching: Location, location, location.
Lately, it’s as if Rockies relievers have been plying their trade in a rundown strip mall on the wrong side of the tracks. If they don’t start relocating — soon — it’s going to cost the team a chance to make a run at the National League West title.
Lately, the guys in the Rockies’ bullpen have been leaving the ball over the plate and the opposition has cashed in, big time. The result is a cumulative ERA of 5.13, second worst in the National League.
