In a snarky social media world -- heck, even in the days when folks wrote letters and stamped them -- some folks are breaking speed records with zingers. Estevez has struggled recently, with 10 runs and 11 hits in five innings over his last seven appearances. The evening that Estevez made his attempt to explain the unexplainable, he gave up three ninth-inning runs to the Rangers at Coors Field in a blown save that led the Rockies to move Adam Ottavino into the closer role. Estevez gets it.
And Estevez, 23, a rookie who has 11 saves and has the makings of a successful back-end reliever once he finds the answers to his struggles, also brings a refreshing trait for some with such rare talent -- humility.
