Stay Steady

Being a Rockies fan, the hardest part about the beginning of the season is that it' easy to get too excited when they win and too negative when they lose. The Rockies have dug themselves into big holes early in the season many times. In fact in the last 3 years they have always been 18-27 after 46 games.

There are problems right now all over the board. De La Rosa followed a superb start last Friday with a clunky one on Thursday. Hammel had one of the worst starts for anyone over the past year. The Rockies have committed 9 errors including 3 in Wednesdays win. The timely hitting for the most part hasn't been there.

The team however is currently 5-5, and the key is not to get too buried. Two duds of games in a row is never good, but the Rockies just don't seem to do well against Lowe. Getting in an 8-0 hole in the 2nd wasn't good, but the Rockies continued to play. Will that carry over into the rest of the road trip?

If we know Jim Tracy at all, we know that the answer is no. He will rally them to focus only on tonight's game and after that, he will get them to look at tomorrow's game.

The fans should do the same.
