The Colorado Rockies are way off everyone’s radar right now.
No one cares about the boys in purple and rightfully so. Once again, they stink.
But last night in Los Angeles they played in a very bizarre game. Like very bizarre. Twitter told the story quite well.
The #Rockies have used 24 players and 10 pitchers tonight, both match club records.

Well… At least they won?
