The Colorado Rockies and the base paths for the past few years have gotten along as well as a couple post-shotgun-wedding. Over the course of the Walt Weiss era, it’s almost a disservice to the word atrocious to say that the team was atrocious at base running. One of Bud Black‘s main focuses has been improving the run game.
It’s not just Black that wanted to see an uptick in this area of the game which has held the club back. Since Jeff Bridich took the helm it’s clear that one of his goals has been to make Denver’s franchise an athletic and versatile one.
