Better results in close games could be the difference

Early on in the year when the Rockies were 11-3 with all three losses coming by one run, it was easy for me to think, “wow, they could easily be 14-0 right now!”

Those close games have continued to haunt the club as they try to navigate their way through this tough stretch. Back-to-back 2-1 losses to the Astros kicked off a week in which the Rockies were hoping to put a 2-5 record from the previous seven days behind them.

While the Rockies are still very much so in the thick of the playoff hunt, this is a trend that will have to reverse if they hope to remain in that position six weeks from now when the season comes to an end.
