Rocktober circa 2018 comes with a strange twist.
The Rockies enter Sunday’s must-win Game 3 of the National League division series with huge concerns, not about their pitching, but about a perplexing offense that has gone into early hibernation as the leaves begin to fall.
Colorado finds itself down 0-2 to the Brewers because the Brewers’ pitchers won all the big moments, and because the Rockies have had some truly ugly at-bats. In the first two games, Colorado .154, struck out 22 times and walked only five times.
What’s more, Colorado’s offense has simply not been very good all season.
