It should be clear – the team has 5 saves so far. 5.  And only a handful of teams have lost more 1-run games than Colorado. 

They need Huston Street and more than that, they need him to be Huston Street. He can’t be a former shade of his past succes; he’s got to come blow the doors off 20th and Blake.  The Rockies bullpen is stocked with set-up men and no closer.  Corpas?  If the Rox thought he could close they wouldn’t have traded for Street in the first place.  Fuentes priced himself out of town.  With his velocity and the Rox’ abundance of starting pitching, maybe De La Rosa could close if he could control the walks.

None are the right solution.  Get Street back healthy and get yourself back into the division race.  Sitting .500 at the All-Star Break isn’t going to cut it.
