• The Rockies face a catch-22. History has shown that pitchers who throw heat at the top of the zone and hunt for K’s tend to burn out pitching in Denver, and as their velocity ebbs, they get hit hard.Rockies Journal: Drew Romo unconcerned about funky throws back to mound As for Black’s comments, he hates when his pitchers use Coors Field as an excuse for a poor performance. He goes out of his way to erase some of the stigma of pitching at Coors. He wants his pitchers to pitch — using their entire arsenal. He understands that his pitchers will get beat up, particularly on hot, dry summer days, but he’s fine with that as long as they outperform the opposition.
• With many young, talented starters nearing their big-league debuts, I could see the rotation looking much different than the one I projected. No. 1 prospect Chase Dollander will be part of the rotation next season, perhaps very early. The best-case scenario is that Bryant works hard to strengthen his back during the offseason — I’m told he does not need surgery, but you never know — and becomes a decent designated hitter. There is no place for Bryant on the field because the Rockies have younger players who are much better fielders in the outfield and first base.
