German Marquez positively, firmly and absolutely believes that his best days are ahead.
Now the right-hander has to prove it, beginning Friday night when the Rockies host Arizona at Coors Field, where Marquez is 2-5 with a 6.09 ERA, 1.532 WHIP, and .308 batting average against this season.
“My best is still coming,” Marquez said. “There is an All-Star in there and there’s more in the tank. I just need to be more consistent.”
After his last start at Coors Field, on Aug. 23 against Texas, Marquez used the phrase “frickin’ frustrated” to describe his outing — a six-inning performance in which he gave up six runs on eight hits, including two home runs.
