Mile High Sports Rockies Podcast

As the #Rockies' struggles in August have made the wild-card chase more interesting than they hoped for, hosts Shawn Drotar (Mile High Sports Radio) and Ryan Greene (5280 Sports Network) discuss the ascension of Germán Márquez.The rookie fireballer struck out 10 Tigers and walked only one in his last outing, causing catcher Jonathan Lucroy to remark that the 22-year-old Márquez is the best pitcher he's ever caught at that age.But while Márquez has become the Rockies' best pitcher, closer Greg Holland's once-phenomenal season has become problematic. Since injuring his finger in a kitchen accident, Holland only has three saves -- and three blown saves -- in August, while sporting an unsightly 13.50 ERA.Shawn and Ryan suggest a possible solution -- one that wouldn't disrupt team chemistry -- but can the team afford to try it?***Brought to you by Tap XIV (tapfourteen.com) on Blake Street in Denver.Follow Shawn Drotar on Twitter: @sdrotarFollow Ryan Greene on Twitter: @RGmilehigh
