Let's Rock The Rockies

This weekend the Colorado Rockies come to our side of the country for a three-game series. It is my guess that the Rockies are in pretty bad spirits right now, coming off a home stand where they lost five of the seven games. Getting not only swept but obliterated by the San Francisco Giants in a four-game series. Yikes!

Today the match up will most likely be Kyle Freeland for them and J.A. Happ for us. Freeland has gone 2-6 this season with a 7.39 ERA. Offensively, the Rockies are strong and are ranked 4th in the league in scoring and 5th in hitting. However, their performance on the mound has been poor. They rank 29th in the league in ERA at 5.44, and their pen at 21st with a 4.88 ERA.

With the Yanks ranked 2nd in the league in scoring, the Rockies’ pitching will definitely be something our offense needs to take advantage of.

However, it is no surprise to either team how incredible LeMahieu has been performing.

“He’s such a good ballplayer it’s hard to describe,” Gary Sanchez said through his translator recently. “Any words I can say about him are going to fall short. I mean, the guy gets two, three hits every day. If he’s having a tough day he has two hits. He can do it all. Is there a word for better than best? He’s that good.”
