The downfall of the Colorado Rockies’ 2019 season can be blamed on pitching or lack thereof. To be more precise, a large part of that blame can be placed on the awful performances by those relievers who the Rockies were paying an exorbitant amount of money. One of those relievers is Bryan Shaw.
By now, Rockies fans know the story. Before the 2018 season, the Colorado Rockies spent $104 million on Wade Davis, Jake McGee, and Bryan Shaw with the hope that they would form a “super bullpen.” Besides Davis’ solid 2018 season, where he set a club record of 43 saves in a season, these three signings have been a complete bust.
