Halloween seems like an appropriate time to consider some of the scary numbers the 2023 Colorado Rockies accumulated. Think of this as building on Patrick Saunders’ Sunday column, “Numbers paint an ugly picture of state of the franchise.”
It’s a kind of “A Nightmare on Blake Street” with a bunch of data monsters usurping Freddy Krueger’s lead role.
- 163 — That’s the number of home runs the Rockies hit in 2023, which ranks 27th. Yes, that’s for a team that plays half its game at the most offensive-friendly park in baseball.
