Rockies Review - A Colorado Rockies Blog: Colorado Rockies win on Wilin Rosario walk-off home run
Wilin Rosario's walk-off home run doesn't mask the fact that he's a terrible catcher who has been killed by a steep offensive decline this season, David Martin writes in the Unnecessary Negative Take of the Day (we love you, David).
