KYLE FREELAND: Confident Rockies Rotation Can Come Through

7-5-20 Colorado Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland talks with reporters over Zoom on Sunday, July 5, 2020.

Everything is up for grabs in MLB's abbreviated 60-game season in 2020.

That puts even more emphasis on quality starting pitching.

Left-hander Kyle Freeland thinks the Rockies rotation will come through this year and is better than many people believe it to be.

"That's been our m.o. for the past four years since this core group of starters has been together," Freeland said on Sunday. "We haven't gotten the national attention I think we deserve but we also have to back that up. We have to go out there and perform and win ball games."

"This group of starters that we have I think if we're able to put things together, all five of us, [we'll] prove we are a top-notch starting rotation that can win day-in and day-out."

German Marquez, Jon Gray, Freeland and Antonio Senzatela figure to be the top four starters with Chi Chi Gonzalez and Jeff Hoffman being the primary candidates to emerge as the club's fifth starter.

Here are all of Freeland's remarks on Sunday.
