GDT Rox at Champs 5/8

[tzill]

Lineup:

CF Rowand
2B Sanchez
SS Fontenot
1B Posey
LF Burrell
RF Ross
3B Tejada
C Whiteside
P Vogelsong.

Huff gets a day and Buster gets a "day off" at 1b. Who the fuck knows what we're going to get with Vogs. DLR is tough for the Rox; this will be a tough (but oh-so-sweet) game to get.

Let's observe how resilient the rockies are. if they lay an egg today, against the Giants' 6th best starter, I can't take them seriously as a contender.

It will be interesting to see how our "6th starter" does today. Has he really turned the corner and learned how to pitch? Or is he the same old Vogelsong?

So far, so good.

 

[ColinCoby]

Jorge: 10 pitches, 8 balls.

 

[ColinCoby]

34 pitches, 13 strikes.

I really, really, really dislike Bochy and his line ups.



I know it is getting tougher with all of the injuries, but I just get upset seeing Rowand in the lead off spot.

 

[ColinCoby]

One run would feel like three, given how this series has gone. Gotta find a way.

Given Rowand's lack of success against De La Rosa, why not bat Fontenot
1st?

 

[ColinCoby]

Props to Flannery there. Wow. I thought that play would be a lot closer than it ended up being.

I do agree, but I also understand what Boch is doing...

Last season, when the sack was on the line, he knew what all his players were capable of because he put them all in out-of-comfort-zone places throughout the season.

Also, with RoRo, you know what a whinny bitch he is in the clubhouse, and he is making 1.3% of the US GDP, so he has to be appeased.

and in all seriousness, despite his 100% REFUSAL to look at pitches in the lead-off spot, he is getting results (for the most part), so he deserves to be in the lineup. Without a stereotypical lead off guy, he gets the job by default.

I would like to see Belt get a look at lead off when he gets called back up.

And btw...

Shut up Colin...

 

[ColinCoby]

I get the feeling all you fucking regulars are waiting until the 7th inning again. Bastards.

(or you apparently love your mothers more than I love mine)

 

[ColinCoby]

And btw...

Shut up Colin...

It's nice to be back...

 

[calsnowskier]

I got to admit, it is nice to have a reason to tell you to shut up

 

[ColinCoby]

I got to admit, it is nice to have a reason to tell you to shut up

What reason?

 

[ColinCoby]

71 pitches for De La Rosa, with our best hitter leading off.

2 runs this inning at the minimum.

 

[ColinCoby]

Rowand 4-26 10 Ks

 

[calsnowskier]

pitiful offensive display by the Gs today...

the opp pitcher throws 84 pitches through 5 with only 48 Ks, and they are only able to muster 3 hits and 1 run...

 

[calsnowskier]

AND...

Colorado even commits an error on top of it all..
