Colorado Rockies: Is it okay to stop watching a game? | Rox Pile
Rockies’ pitcher German Marquez has been touted as the most successful Rockies pitcher. However, he got absolutely lit up by the Giants, giving up 11 runs in the 19-2 loss Monday afternoon. It got to the point where it was harder to watch than to just turn off the TV. And not watching doesn’t mean you’re not a true fan. If there’s no enjoyment, and there’s not in a 19-2 loss, then watching is just discouraging. So tune in next time and hope that it goes better tomorrow.
