Let me just start this off by saying I apologize in advance to Yonathan Daza and all Rockies fans for doing this.
I say this because throughout this season, I’ve written about individual players and their improvements like Ryan McMahon and Raimel Tapia, and almost immediately after my pieces on them were published, they went into slumps. For instance, I wrote about McMahon back on April...

Another tough ninth inning spells the end for the Rockies on Sunday
A tale of two outingsChi Chi González and Eric Lauer had two very different days. González struggled from the first inning, allowing two runs in each of the first two innings to put the Rockies in a quick 4-0 hole. He then allowed two more runs - one in the fourth and one in the sixth before he was lifted - to make it 6-0, and looking like the game may be nearing an inevitable...

Those fathers taught us the basics of the game and passed on their passion for the game and fandom for their favorite team. Baseball is a sport that envokes deep connections between a father...

It was a...

Every time Raimel Tapia gets a hit, I am filled with joy. It’s not just because Rockies hits haven’t been in abundance this season either. It’s mostly because when Tapia starts running, it’s only a matter of time before his helmet will go flying off his head. You don’t know when or where, but it’s going to happen.
The best is when Tapia dives into second for a double because the helmet is always jettisoned somewhere...
