text: Nice effort by Bettis. Unfortunately, two of his last five starts were pedestrian and three downright awful. Is there any starting pitcher, besides Gray, who can pitch at least one decent inning to start the game? Bettis? Chatwood? Marquez? And now Anderson because Freeland has collapsed? The once insurmountable lead is now two games. Even with the Padres and Giants on the horizon, the starting pitching will continue to implode and bury the Rockies early in the game. Oh, and two games now with silent bats.
