An extra base hit! Wow, forgot what one of those look like from our offense lol

This was always a trap game. Travel day, time zone, altitude, pitcher who hasn't always been good on the road (though he did well in his only previous start there). And a drag it's a four-game series,

But it's also early.

Nonsense, we should beat this team blindfolded. If we cannot win after some travel to a different time zone, we are in big trouble. Have some pride and do your job. Trap games are for losers.

That's what makes it a trap game

Even this horrible Rockies team wins almost 25% of its home games, and any major league team can always win any game. We came into Denver last year with a .725 winning percentage and lost 2 of 3. And the travel and jet lag and the altitude are all real things.
