Colorado Rockies' rookie Jon Gray reflects on improvements in 2015

Jon Gray glad to grow on "mental side" of playing in the majors - The Denver Post

Jon Gray was shut down on account of an innings limit after making just nine starts for the Rockies. Gray finished the year 0-2 with a 5.53 ERA in his first taste of the big leagues, but the numbers don’t reflect the invaluable knowledge Gray will now take with him into next season.
Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post spoke with Gray and manager Walt Weiss on the strides he has taken in 2015. For Gray, throwing each pitch with the outcome in mind has been the biggest adjustment to his game this season since pitching in Triple-A Albuquerque. And it’s an adjustment he’ll need for success in the majors. 
The further development of Gray’s slider is something both he and Weiss mentioned in the interview. Though it has come along way this year, Weiss believes Gray has the ability to make it a wipeout addition to his repertoire.

LeMahieu looking to end season strong - Rockies.com

DJ LeMahieu did not start in Friday’s series opener with the Giants. The reason? Shoulder fatigue. And that he’s flirting with the first .300 season of his career, a number that the All-Star second baseman deserves on his resume after the year he’s had for the Rockies. As believes Walt Weiss, who is aware of LeMahieu’s current .302 mark. He could go 0-3 before touching .300. 
LeMahieu will start in tonight’s contest against Jake Peavy.
