## Resource

The Colorado Rockies, currently at 16-26, are grappling with a slump, particularly from Mickey Moniak, whos been their go-to guy with a .303/.348/.648 slash line and 11 HRs. However, hes been struggling in his last seven games, batting .200 with no power and a 40% strikeout rate. Manager Shaeffers platoon strategy has been effective, but the teams offense has faltered against aces, scoring only 16 runs in 5 games. Moniaks birthday game against Pittsburgh presents an opportunity for him to turn things around. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
