Same Old RISP-less Rockies?

The Rockies changed a lot over the winter, but the result of the first weekend of the 2012 Season, wasn't that much different than the past couple of seasons.

1 for 13

The Rockies managed to only get 1 hit with Runners in Scoring Position--that being a Todd Helton Double in Friday's game.  

Of course the Rockies started out 2011 with 3 for 16--but that was in the first game alone!  In the first 3 games, they were 6 for 29.   In 2010 they were 4 for 30.

The startling number isn't the 1 for, it's the 13.  Not many chances in the new look offense and the Rockies only scored 10 runs...in Houston!

On the positive side, Jeremy Guthrie's debut and Juan Nicasio's return were tremendous starts, and even the ageless Jamie Moyer, didn't do badly giving up 4 runs (3 Earned) in 5 innings.
