Reply to "Worst World Series opponent--2007 Rockies"

People lets not forget that the Rockies had 8 days between the NLCS and the World Series. Then to make matters worse they had to face two of the greatest post season pitchers in the history of the game (Beckett and Schilling) in games 1 and 2. They were facing an uphill battle from the word go.

I am not trying to take away anything from the BoSox - in fact this is actually praise for how good they are. They beat a VERY good Rockies team like a drum.

Which would have been better for the Rockies -

1. Do what they did and practice in Colorado
2. Go to the minor league complex down south and scrimmage live against minor league pitchers

I would have to lean towards scrimmage live against the minor league pitchers to stay a bit more fresh than just BP but you are risking injury to your players.

I would hate to think you lose Matt Holliday because some Class A pitcher thinks if he blows a fastball by him he will get picked up on the World Series roster.
