The Colorado Rockies did not have a night to write home about on Wednesday.

Seriously, I want to know have you ever seen a pitcher deal four strikeouts in 12 pitches. En route to 15 Los Angeles Dodgers strikeouts, Kenta Maeda did this feat in the fifth and sixth innings. The Dodgers beat the Colorado Rockies 3-0 and as a result, took two of three games in the series.

Rockie Road host—me—Jake Shapiro, talked about how disappointing the lost series was because the way in which the Rockies lost it.

More from Rox Pile

Befuddled by the offense, we have a solution and the perfect time for re-evaluation. Also, we discuss why the offense was so disappointing this past series in ways that won’t show up in the box score.

Also, a take is offered on the Dodgers and National League West.

A hot take is offered about David Dahl and Gerardo Parra and gets a bit animated in the process of that whilst trying to sift through the offense.

Kyle Freeland‘s great start isn’t forgotten but it might as well have been considering the offense.

Rockie Road also talks about what he’s looking forward to in the next homestand and what the Rockies need to do to get right. Hopefully, for Jon Gray and Nolan Arenado there is a common thread.

Next: A look back on Dan O’Dowd’s 1st round draft picks

The Rockies have an off day on Thursday before starting nine-game homestand, which kicks off Friday against the Cincinnati Reds. Very sneakily if you’re headed to the game on Saturday, it has a 7:10 start so keep your eye out on that. Gray will get the ball and will once again have a two-start homestand, something he has told me in the past is helpful for developing a rhythm.
