Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders with the latest installment of his Rockies Mailbag.
Pose a Rockies- or MLB-related question for the Rockies Mailbag.
Patrick, I moved to Denver a year ago, and this is my first season following the Rockies closely. One glaring deficiency I’ve observed is the complete inability of the Rockies’ pitching staff to strike out batters. They are dead last in baseball by 116 K’s (the same gap between 29th and 12th place). Is the altitude to blame? Pitching to contact in Coors seems like a disastrous idea.
