The Colorado Rockies had some bright spots in the first half of 2015, despite ending the half in last place in the National League West, ten games under .500 (and that was after a four-game series sweep to get back from 14 games under!).

But yeah, losing and bad pitching and Kyle Kendrick aside, there were some bright spots in the first half: Nolan Arenado, Nolan Arenado, Nolan Arenado, and Nolan Arenado.

Just kidding — it wasn’t just him. But mostly…

Anyways, bright spots tend to fade — or more accurately, regress to the mean — over time, and yes, some of those bright spots on the 2015 Colorado Rockies are going to lose a little bit of their shine in the second half of the season.
