It’s been a weird, slow, and kind of boring month of May for the Colorado Rockies. Generally good for just two wins a week, the Rockies are just 6-15 this month after going 14-18 in March and April.
The last week has been more of the same. The Rockies picked up wins against the Texas Rangers at home—in a cold and rainy series at Coors—and the Arizona Diamondbacks on the road. The week was book-ended by losses to the Arizona Diamondbacks, though both were relatively close losses.
The Rockies’ week had a few unfortunate events. The first was a streak of over 320 plate appearances without hitting a home run dating back to Friday, May 15th. The streak was thankfully ended by TJ Rumfield—who leads all National League rookies in extra-base hits and total hits—on Saturday evening.
The other was a plague of injuries that continue to test the Rockies’ depth. After Jordan Beck went on the injured list last week, he was joined this week by both Brenton Doyle (left oblique contusion) and Mickey Moniak (right ankle tendonitis). Reliever Victor Vodnik was placed on the injured list as well.
With that being said, here’s what our staff here at Purple Row had to say this week:

Weekly Discussion Topics
The Rockies’ homer-less streak has certainly contributed to their losses in May. What are some other unpleasant streaks you can remember from Rockies history?
In addition, there are just seven games left in May, including three against the Los Angeles Dodgers. What are your hopes and/or expectations for the last week of the month? Let us know in the comments!
