It's now all too apparent. This offense simply lacks meaningful talent. A split at home with a cellar dweller that had lost 16 of their last 19 road games before coming to Denver. Now it's not Kershaw, Greinke, ..... it's a spot starter AAA call up with absolutely zero major league wins! At home! Only by sheer luck did they not lose three of four.

Gonzalez is not in a slump, he's in absolute career freefall. His bat speed has diminished so much that he's pitched inside with absolutely no fear. Check out statcast. Can't hit an outside breaking ball from a left hander. Permanently under the Mendoza line. Use him as a late inning defensive substitute and a periodic sub against right handed pitching. 

While today was a fine journeyman performance by Chatwood, he's on pace for a 20 loss season.

And if the Rockies excuse is injuries, I go back to the Bill Parcells quote, "If you're on the trainers table not able to play, you're of no use to me."
