Nolan Arenado has a shot at career year, despite Rockies’ struggles

0

During almost every series, Rockies manager Bud Black is asked about the greatness of his third baseman, Nolan Arenado.

Black graciously obliges with thoughtful quotes, but recently delivered one of his better ones.

“What makes Nolan the great player that he is, is the consistent push, the consistent drive to excel,” Black said. “He’s continued to push and is showing the pride and professionalism of his job.”

Arenado is producing big even while the Rockies suffer through a horrendous season. Entering Friday night’s game at San Diego, the Rockies (58-81) are drowning in a nine-game losing streak and have lost 14 of their past 15 games.
