1. The Rockies are among the leaders in batting avg., OPS and runs scored because of what they average at Coors Field and even that has been wildly uneven. It is literally the only thing East Coast baseball writers and talking heads are right about with regards to this team. So, that renders Black's statistical analysis as meaningless.

2. A lineup with Charlie Blackmon batting 2nd, 3rd or 5th would be better at this point than leading him off every night. People will say, "but what about the stolen base threat??" The Rox don't really steal bases anyway, but if you want that threat, bat Desmond or Tapia in lead off.

3.  Only start Cargo against right handers, preferably no more than three games a week.

4.  Play Valaika more at short.

5.  Senzetela hasn't been the same since he got removed from the starting rotation the first time. Let's put him in the bullpen and move Chatwood back into the rotation.

6. The Rox need to have a vintage 6-3 or better home stand. Not a good start.
