The beginning of the 2019 season has been tough sledding for the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies are 3-8, having lost 8 of their last 9 games, which is their second-most losses within the first 11 games of a season. (In 2005, they lost 9 of the first 11 games.) They have a team slash line of .219/.283/.350 with an OPS of .633.
That is [takes a deep breath] not good. The pitching has struggled as well, and every time an opposing team hits to right field and Charlie Blackmon moves to make a play, it’s impossible to ignore the collective breath-holding of #RockiesTwitter.
