Getting your player ready...
Jose Lopez is on the long list of Rockies who have launched three-run homers in 2011. He’s also on their list of hitters who are struggling. His three-run shot at Pittsburgh on April 10 helped the Rockies to a 6-5 win. Since then, he’s 2-for-30 with one extra-base hit and has landed on the bench five times. He was 0-for-4 on Sunday as his average dropped to .161.
Down and out.
The Rockies were tied for third in the major leagues in stolen-base efficiency at .833 (15-for-18) before Jonathan Herrera was thrown out trying to steal to end the Rockies’ half of the fourth inning.
Say what? Quick, somebody call Tom Hanks.
The Marlins have cheerleaders. There are no cheerleaders in baseball, either.
