All Lined Up
All the stars were aligning perfectly last night until Brian Giles' home run with two outs in the ninth inning in San Francisco knocked one, hopefully temporarily, off line. It's certainly nice to know that we single-handedly sucked all the life out of the Dodgers last week.
During the telecast last night they mentioned that the Rox are on pace to set the MLB record for team fielding percentage. I pulled out my trusty Lahman database and did a little research. The Rockies are at .9893 for fielding percentage, putting them .0002 ahead of the team which currently holds the MLB record for team fielding percentage, the 2006 Boston Red Sox. Prorating the Rockies' total chances through the rest of the season, I estimate they can commit two more errors and still set the mark. Here is a table of the top ten teams all-time in fielding percentage. Here also is a table of the Rockies' fielding percentages each season. I don't remember the 1993 season being THAT bad.
Until next time, Go Rockies!
