Last week, Eric Garcia McKinley asked you in this space if you were a glass half empty or a glass half full person when it came to the 2019 Colorado Rockies. It was reasonable to be optimistic even as red flags cropped up all over Coors Field over the weekend. One week later, it’s still too early to be totally negative, but the Rockies haven’t exactly given us reasons for hope either.
To be more specific, the Rockies went an entire week without winning a game. They have mostly given us reasons to wonder what the heck is wrong, and they have made the optimists among us work hard to argue that things will still be OK.
