Arizona finished the game with just five hits to Colorado’s 10. The Rockies have allowed a mere three runs in their last 18 innings, and have now won their first series of 2021.
Early fireworks
Arizona starter Merrill Kelly got off to an abysmal start. Colorado started the game with five consecutive hits, jumping to a 3-0 lead after Trevor Story’s RBI double and Charlie Blackmon’s two-RBI single. Colorado’s win expectancy jumped to as high as 83.3 percent before the Diamondbacks even recorded an out in the field. Starting pitcher Jon Gray got in on the offensive fun too, recording a leadoff single in the second.

TORONTO – In the summer of 2011 Chris Antonetti, then Cleveland’s rookie general manager, approached Mark Shapiro, his predecessor promoted to club president, for approval of an uncharacteristically bold deadline strike. Ubaldo Jimenez of the Colorado Rockies was one of bigger names on the market but the price for the right-hander was steep – first-round picks Drew Pomeranz and Alex White, plus Matt McBride and Joe Gardner. Shapiro, ever-protective of the cost-efficient prospects that were the franchise’s lifeline, was reluctant. It was a trade he wouldn’t make, Shapiro cautioned, but ultimately gave Antonetti rein to complete the deal.
It’s hard to watch this happen. It’s hard to see teams in other cities who have organizational leadership clearly dedicated to winning. It’s hard to come to terms with the fact that the Rockies.
The Rockies are tentatively scheduled to kick off spring training games in 39 days. We don’t know for sure if the schedule will start on time, but we can yearn for warmer days ahead as we look out the window and wait for spring.
The Rockies were able to play 17 spring training games last year. They played a game in eight of the 10 Cactus League venues. The last game that allowed a Rockies fan in attendance was on March 10 against the Cincinnati Reds, as the COVID-19 shutdown came shortly after. The 2021 slate will again be abnormal, and if MLB takes the lead of other pro teams in Phoenix, there is a good chance Cactus League games will be closed to the public this year. Double-A and Single-A teams will see their schedules delayed, which means the spring training backfields won’t be as populated as normal. There is a good chance spectators won’t be allowed on backfields at all, given the provisions that called for the minor league halt.
