Is struggling Rockies closer Greg Holland tired or toast?
Kiz: With all due respect for outfielder Charlie Blackmon, his 29 home runs and a walk-up song nearly as perfect as his shaggy beard, the real most valuable player of the Rockies in 2017 has been closer Greg Holland. While Holland leads the National League in saves, he has become oh-so-hittable since the middle of July. Is that temporary trouble, or a sign of doom for Colorado’s quest for a playoff berth?
Groke: Holland has been much better for much longer this season than the opposite.
