The Colorado Rockies are in the middle of a free fall out of contention. It makes sense, then, that general manager Jeff Bridich is casting a wide net when pointing to what is going wrong. That’s fair, and yet we all know the truth is that the obvious area of need is the pitching.
That’s one year after the pitching was the strength and the offense was a weakness. That has to be hard to navigate as a general manager. What is especially weird this year, as mentioned by Bridich and noted by Thomas Harding in this article, is how the team is finding different ways to lose lately.
