There was a time in June when the Rockies looked like a mediocre baseball team, made worse by a bullpen that was blowing games in gut-punch fashion and by a starting rotation that was underachieving.
The club seemed on the edge of collapsing, at least in terms of getting to the postseason, a goal the Rockies have been promoting since spring training.
Manager Bud Black, however, said the club never hit a crisis point, despite what fans and media (myself included) were screaming.
“I’m going to say no,” Black said Sunday before the Rockies beat Seattle 4-3 on a walk-off homer by Trevor Story for their 10th win in 12 games.
