Following the Rockies’ 10-2 Game 1 loss to the Tigers on Thursday afternoon, veteran left-handed starter Kyle Freeland was emotional.
When asked to compare what his reeling Rockies are doing to turn things around versus what teams such as the Tigers and Royals have done, the Colorado native was blunt.
“What they’re doing is right, what we’re doing is wrong,” he said. “And we’re not winning baseball games. We’re playing a bad brand of baseball, all the way around. Pitching, fielding, hitting.”
Things didn’t improve in Game 2, which ended with utility infielder Alan Trejo pitching in the ninth inning.
