Nearing the end of the 2021 season's first month, your Colorado Rockies have their first series sweep of the year! Yes, it was just two games, but it came over the Houston Astros who deserve to lose every single game from now until like 2028. That part felt nice, at least.
That sweep, the Rockies' first back-to-back wins of the year, put Colorado at 6-12 to start the season. That's not what you would call, you know, good. However, it has come with some good things, notably a strong display from the starting pitching staff. We'll discuss some of what has made that group good to start the year.
Unfortunately, 6-12 also means there has been a lot of bad, most notably an anemic offense which feels from day to day as though it has one effective bat or fewer in the lineup. We'll break down what's going on with Colorado's hitters and discuss some of the team's frustration with a relief corps that hasn't held the line after starting pitching has enabled late-inning leads.
All that and more is on this week's episode of the PDP! Talk to it alone in your place of residence like a lunatic in a Peloton commercial!
