SAN FRANCISCO — Before Tuesday night’s game against the Giants, all-star third baseman Nolan Arenado talked about the state of the Rockies as their 2016 season nears its end.
“I think we are limping into the finish a little bit. … I think we are a little tired,” he said. “But we know we are close to doing something special in the next few years.”
Only time will reveal the truth about Arenado’s optimistic vision of the future. But “limping to the finish” is exactly what the Rockies are doing. San Francisco pounded rookie starter German Marquez en route to a 12-3 victory at raucous AT&T Park.
