Rockies’ approach must improve as Colorado keeps striking out at an unsustainable clip

The Rockies know they’re striking out at an unsustainable clip — a season-high 15 times Sunday, 60 times overall on the recent six-game homestand and 379 times on the season heading into Monday night’s game at San Diego, fourth most in the National League.
The question now is what to do about it, and outfielder David Dahl believes the Rockies’ collective ability to start putting the ball in play more starts with their mentality walking into the batter’s box.
“For me, especially early on this year, I struck out a few times and then it kind of got in my head where I was striking out a lot,” Dahl explained. “I started thinking about going up there and not striking out, instead of just going up there and hitting.”
