Well, the good news is that the road trip is over. The Colorado Rockies dropped five-of-six games over two series against the Tampa Bay Rays and Baltimore Orioles. The bullpen was a nightly calamity, coughing-up leads seemingly every game...even in the contest they actually won on Sunday.
However, the bad news is that Colorado’s next series is against the best team in baseball; the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta sits 84-45 on the season, 12.5 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies in the division standings — a virtual lock to clinch the division in the coming weeks and likely the best record in the National League.
