Another common sight in this Rockies season was the sheer number of times they got, to put it delicately, blown the fuck out of the ballpark.
They got outscored by 8+ runs in 14 of their 162 games this year. I don't even want to count the number of times they lost by 5+ runs; I'd be here all night.

Of course, they also averaged 2.8 runs per game on the road. Not even the depths of the deadball era in the early 1900s sniffed anything under 3.3 runs per game.
(I also believe that more than 30 pitchers set career-highs in strikeouts this season when facing the Rockies. Not joking.)

Here's something crazy: the Rockies averaged 4.5 runs per game *at Coors Field*. MLB teams *as a whole* averaged 4.45 runs per game.
The Rockies, playing half of their games in the most hitter-friendly park in modern history, barely scratched the *average* run scoring in a pitcher-dominated year.

Of course. You do important work and I always learn a lot from reading your stuff—and not always what I expected to learn!
