Colorado Rockies: You should have seen (at least some of) this coming

Pitching

You are probably more surprised at how bad the Rockies pitching has been. In this span of losing 10 out of their last 11 (and the one win was a 1-0 win), the Rockies pitching has been atrocious.

In that span, they are pitching to a 5.81 ERA. The other concerning number is that they are allowing 4.5 walks per nine innings.

The top of the rotation has not been all bad as of the top three starters (Kyle Freeland, German Marquez, Jon Gray), they have only had two to three bad starts.

They are, arguably, these three starts.

1. Freeland: April 2 v. Tampa Bay (4 2/3 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 10 K) (this is a debatable one because it’s decent numbers besides the walks and innings)
2. Gray: April 6 v. Dodgers (6 IP, 8 H, 5 R/ER, 2 BB, 4 K)
3. Freeland: April 8 v. Atlanta (5 IP, 7 H, 7 R/ER, 4 BB, 3 K)

Each Freeland, Marquez, and Gray have made three starts thus far so, arguably, a third of their starts have been subpar. The main problem for Gray, as you probably know by now, is that he allows home runs … a lot. In fact, on Thursday, he extended his streak (the longest streak in Rockies history) of 15 consecutive games (dating back to July 31, 2018) of allowing at least one home run.
