Well that was discouraging but not unforeseeable with 4 rookies in the rotation. There will be a bunch of these throughout the year...remember the Washington series?...This felt eerily familiar with the Nat's at the time also riding high. With Gray coming back, Anderson in the pen today and Bettis about a month out, I suspect the team will keep these rookies on a short leash considering there are other options.
Watching this D-Backs offense is the way I'd like to see the Rockies approach an at-bat...they have no problem stringing together a mess of base hits and if a HR happens that's a bonus....Our team and especially Cargo like to start off swinging for the fences..it's one reason that I enjoy watching Tapia play.
