Disaster!

The Rockies mucked up their first run through the NL West going 7-15 with 3 games postponed until later in the season.    This includes losing the last 9 straight games over the past two weeks.

Last year it was injuries.  This year that's not an excuse other than losing two closers Hawkins and Ottavino the latter lost for the season.   The pitching staff is once again a disaster.   The 5 main Starters have issued 78 walks in 27 starts, and rarely lasts into the 6th inning.  Overall they have given up 160 runs (5.52 rpg).

The hitters aren't excused either.  Although as a team they are hitting .274, their ability to drive in runs is woeful.  After scoring 45 runs (5.0 rpg) in their first 9 games enroute to a 7-2 reccord, they have scored only 68 (3.58 rgp) in their next 19 going 4-15 in that stretch.

The beautiful thing about baseball is that things can change quickly, but this team just doesn't feel like it can rebound enough to compete for a playoff spot.
