The Colorado Rockies aren't very good.
Sitting well below .500, they’ve struggled mightily out of the gate and have looked, well, rough thus far. With over 90% of the season to go, it’s time to start making some changes, and players have already begun that process.
Justin Lawrence is one of them. He understands his role as a late-inning reliever and has adjusted to the expectations entrusted to him, especially knowing he had to earn the opportunity.
“Last year, coming in the fifth or so for the starter with runners on base and getting out of that inning unscathed was big for me and big for the team and big for our wins,” he said.
