Scott Oberg Provides Relief
5 years agoIn a Colorado Rockies bullpen that seems to constantly be in turmoil, reliever Scott Oberg has been the only dependable piece so far. Oberg has worked as the closer, the setup man, the guy who gets a couple innings to finish out a loss, and he's taken it all in stride. Oberg tossed a shutout inning on Sunday, the final game heading into the All-Star break, lowering his ERA to 1.24 after 43 2/3 innings. It's been nearly a month since he gave up an earned run, he's only walked one batter in the last two weeks, and he's struck out at least two hitters in five of his last six outings. He still pitches for Colorado and will always carry that anchor, but outside of that one thing, he's been phenomenal.
