Baseball, in general, is a slow, methodical game.
When considering the major American sports, baseball’s pace is the slowest, and there can be full minutes between the action. That's partly why baseball is often called “the thinking person’s game.”
But what if, instead of approaching baseball so logically and pragmatically, someone were to come in with a head of steam? A maverick, if you will?
It’s that kind of edge that the 2024 Colorado Rockies seem to lack at present. Right now, they appear to be going through the motions and just trying to stay afloat in what's been a very rough first month-plus of the season.
