Ten Reason the Rockies are Due for Another Late Run

I came up with five, but I’ll just start with my number one and let ya’ll take a crack at it for a while. Remember, creativity counts. Because this first part of the season hasn’t given us much in the way of… what’s the term for it… tangible success.

Clint Barmes is hitting like he did during his phenomenal (12 game) rookie year. All of his vital percentages are career bests, and his fielding looks stronger, more sure. He isn’t striking out every fifth at bat like he did in 2006.

By the time Troy Tulowitzki gets back I’d like to see Barmes at second playing as strong as he is now. Tonight he hit a two run home run in the bottom of the ninth to turn a terrible night of Rockies pitching into a mere one run loss.

What makes this number one? If Barmes doesn’t work out… there’s always Omar Quintanilla. He’s like a fantastic latino version of Kaz. All he gets are singles and doubles, but damn is he fast on the bases and at the two hole…. is there a two hole in baseball or did I forget to turn my hockey brain off? Fact check please.
