Last 5 weeks- 29 games- Colorado is 11-18. Only 2 teams in MLB worse than that- Chicago White Sox at 8-20 and the Reds at 11-19. Colorado is real lucky that Arizona is only 13-16 in that period, or they would be in a lot worse shape right now. But while Arizona's 13-16, the run differential for them is good- +21. Colorado at 11-18 has a run differential of -27. Given up 182 runs in that period- the worst in MLB. You give up 6 runs a night, you aren't going to win much.

Or Arizona is really lucky that Colorado was 11-18 in that stretch

I would say given the run differentials, Colorado is the lucky one. Arizona should have been 16-13 in these 29 games(the actual number is 16.5) Colorado should have been 12-17 in these 29 games(the actual number is 12.5). instead of a 4 game gap for Colorado, it's only a 2 game gap.

Unless Colorado fixes their pitching, they aren't doing much at all. It's that simple. You can not give up 6 runs a night and expect to be competitive.
