    Strike 2: The Colorado Rockies should get back to piggybacking

    Strike 2: With the occasional exception to the rule, the Colorado Rockies bullpen has been a flaming mess so far this season. For its part, the starting rotation has been okay. This season, that moment has arrived earlier, like on Opening Day, so we toss this out again: Deploying the once scoffed at idea of a four-man starting rotation that also includes pitch limits and a predetermined long reliever could help stabilize this pitching staff and help young pitchers development for the future. If each guy does a reasonable job, that should get the Rockies much deeper into the game and give the short relief pitchers a respite.
