Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders posts his Rockies Mailbag every other week on Tuesdays during the season and once per month during the offseason.
Hi Patrick. I know last night’s loss (May 3, when the Diamondback held on to beat the Rockies 10-9) falls mostly on the bullpen, but when Ian Desmond came up with runners on the corners and one out, I was extremely confident that nothing good would happen. David Dahl’s steal took care of the Ian-ending double play, so the strikeout was the natural outcome.
