‘We’re in a tough spot’: Rockies are slipping quickly, and at the wrong time | The Athletic ($)
This is not great.
In the midst of a 2-9 skid that has seen the Rockies drop from first in the NL West to a tie for third place with a 13-12 record, the Rockies made roster moves, but still got swept by the Astros. The bullpen can’t hold leads. The starters not named Kyle Freeland and Antonio Senzatela are getting shelled, or when they aren’t, the offense can’t score runs.
