Colorado Rockies - Week 13

A 1-6 (ughh!) week getting swept for the second time since sweeping the Yankees and only winnng one of four from the Astros. The Roxs are not so comfortably in 4th place with San Diego 8 games ahead. The Roxs currently stand at 39 - 43. Currently 21-18 at home and 18-25 on the road, the Roxs have been outscored 377-409 (expected wins is 38 versus historical wins at 38). On pace for 77 wins. Well what can one say? Emotions were running high after sweeping the Yankees but then the dreaded late June/early July road trip. This one had started in Toronto, went to Chicago, and then to Houston. 10 games in all and a whooping 1 - 9 record. So much for doing okay on the road! A "cursed" trip unlike any other. The ups - Tulowitzki had three home runs to put the Roxs ahead in the Top of the 9th, the downer - Fuentes blew the lead in all three of those games and also blew a fourth. Notice Fuentes WPA below. So assuming the law of averages were catching up to us (after going 21 - 7) then realistically the Roxs are basically playing like they have been all year. Hopefully they can limp into the all-star break with a reasonable record so that July and August are within reach. Of course they start a 10 game road trip after the break beginning in Milwaukee, on to Pittsburgh, and closing with a 4 game series in DC. If they can't go 7-3 then forget about it...The Roxs do stand second in average among NL teams (have moved into 6th with HR, although they are only on pace for 81 HR at Coors!)and 11th in pitching, although SD, Dodgers, and Arizona are all in the top 5.
