In a disappointing turn of events, Friday's highly anticipated game for the Colorado Rockies has been postponed due to heavy rain. However, the team remains determined to make up for lost time as they prepare for a split doubleheader on Sunday to accommodate the rescheduled match.
Adding to the Rockies' woes, starting pitcher Kyle Freeland has been placed on the injured list with an elbow strain. In response to this setback, the team has called up Noah Davis to take his place, and Davis is expected to make a start during the upcoming weekend games.
It wasn't too long ago when the Colorado Rockies were the talk of the town, having won 91 games and securing back-to-back playoff appearances in both 2017 and 2018. However, the team's fortunes took a dive, and their mismanagement and uninspired roster construction since then have made their previous success seem like a distant memory.
One would have expected the Rockies to learn a valuable lesson after their impressive acquisition of Nolan Jones last offseason. However, the team seemed to have gone into hibernation during the winter, spending a meager $3.5 million on major league free agents. This lackluster investment has only amplified the struggles of one of the worst teams in baseball.
As the Rockies face uncertain times, there is little hope among fans and analysts that the team's fortunes will turn around in the near future. The lack of impactful moves during the offseason and mounting injuries have left the organization in a precarious position, with no immediate solutions in sight.
It remains to be seen whether the Rockies can overcome the challenges they are currently facing and regain their former glory. As fans await the rescheduled doubleheader and Davis' potential debut, they can only hope that there will be some positive developments on the horizon for the struggling team from Colorado.
