Land ho!
Kinda rough sailing for the Colorado Rockies pitching staff in the season’s first half and now three games into the second semester. OK, so the ship’s resting on the sea floor of the National League West. Picky, picky.
How rough a first half?
111 Homers.
882 hits.
299 walks.
5.26 team ERA.
1.58 WHIP.
Wild pitches and passed balls and …
After a solid start by Christian Friedrich in the first game after the break against Cliff Lee — then again, everybody beats Cliff Lee — the beating goes on.
Arrr! Fifteen men on a dead man’s ERA!
Avast! He’s walked in the go-ahead run! Again! Run him through with me cutlass, aye, that’s it!
Even the parrot ...
